Hi!
So, in my quest to debloat, enhance privacy, decrease the amount of background processes and improve usability, and in particular to avoid that Windows keeps installing stuff that I don't want (apps, optional components, older drivers), I came across the option to disable OneSettings downloads in the "data collection and preview builds" in gpedit.
The description says If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Windows will periodically attempt to connect with the OneSettings service to download configuration settings.
But, WHICH configuration settings?
To configure what?
And how does it differ from the things that Windows Update installs specifically for my system (like drivers etc)?
Thanks in advance antspants
