Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

  it’s a domain joined account, in this way it gets disabled immediately after every new install

    Please tell me you didn’t create a GPO for just your account so you could disable the search bar, lol.

      Tell us your not a sysadmin without telling us you’re a sysadmin.

        Please explain why that’s a reasonable thing to do if that is actually what OP did. If OP applied the GPO to all or many users that’s fine, but IMO it’s weird to force these kinds of changes on users unless many complain. In my experience most actually like a colossal search bar for some reason.

        If OP uses a GPO as their personal config, that can’t be how they are supposed to be used. But maybe that’s really common, sounds pretty odd though. (I don’t think OP actually did this, the first option seems more likely and my comment above was mostly a joke).

        Either way, OP should troubleshoot their GPOs before complaining about it.

      no, that would be insane. I run an active directory compatible server (samba 4) in my network so i can get the same settings when i have a new pc (i always reinstall stuff from zero)

        Alright, if it’s your own domain carry on.
