>Seventh Commandment: Privacy
>Eighth Commandment: Annoyances
While decent, it's pretty incomplete - I hope nobody's relying on this section exclusively. I'm also noticing a pattern: this guy goes straight for tapping directly on registry keys, instead of using Group Policy - a common mistake, born from a misapprehension as to what GP actually IS. Too many people think it's just a front-end for setting registry values in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies - no, it also includes a mechanism to protect those values from being reset or overwritten. If you've ever seen a Dunning-Kruger bitch and moan that all his customisations got reverted when he (for example) installed the latest Feature Update, now you know exactly how he performed this particular footgun.
>Ninth Commandment
He stops explaining what he's doing here, which is never good: people with brains will question what you're up to, people who don't will mindlessly run your commands, break things, and have no idea how to undo it. Either way, I can't recommend this section to the hoi polloi. GAC editions of Windows don't have Win32 fallbacks for the AppXs he's mass-removing here, Windows Store is the bedrock that AppX updates are built on, and a lot of games require or use AppX infrastructure, too. This is one of the reasons why such a large number of programs aren't supported on LTSC SKUs.
