I hate how any change in GPO for windows 11 needs to be a registry hack for it to stick (lemmy.world)

So I set up my test lab with a domain controller and some clients and changing things in Windows 11 is just a complete nightmare. I see that they finally added the option to where you can ungroup icons on the task bar in this latest update but holy shit man it's been 2 years.. and we're barely getting basic functionality that's been in Windows 10 for 8 years now? How does a development team this size get lead so far astray from their target audience?

Don't even get me started on the Xbox bullshit that comes on a Windows pro machine used in a business environment. I'm getting fed up with windows more and more every day.

Also all these extra bullshit apps like Chat, Teams home. Why are they there ootb on a pro license?

Registry hack

The fact we need to use the registry for basic customization is quite sad.

Registry hacks used to be for very obscure and advanced customization, now it's used for the basics we used to have.

Exactly. And win11 is so full of employee distractions without a way to disable except registry and other powershell nonsense.

Doesn't work properly, you'll get clipping stuff and something with the clock will be off. It will also likely revert with updates.
