These changes are only applicable to users in the EEA. For those outside the region, Windows will continue to function as it is!
The changes to Windows for DMA-compliance include:
- You can now uninstall Edge and Bing web search using the built-in settings. Earlier, the option was greyed out.
- Third-party web search application developers can now utilize the Windows search box in the taskbar using the instructions provided by Microsoft and choose any web browser to show results from the web.
- Microsoft will no longer sign-in users to Edge, Bing, and Microsoft Start services during the initial Windows setup experience.
- Data collected about the functioning of non-Microsoft apps, primarily bug detection and its effects on the OS, from Windows PCs will not be used for competitive purposes.
- Microsoft, from now on, will need explicit user consent before combining data from the OS and other sources. It will also deliver new consent screens where required.
how about fucking autopilot too instead of having to find a registry to disable it.
Edit: I’m dumb and don’t know what I was even being mad at. I should have said copilot, that’s what I actually meant. I didn’t realize autopilot was a thing.
What do you mean. Autopilot is an enterprise feature. If you bypass Autopilot you are either circumventing your organization’s policy or you bought a computer that was not removed from org properly.
Or you actually bought a ‘pro’ license in the hopes of being treated less like an insolent child by a device you own.
Autopilot and Pro have absolutely no tie other than Pro being a requirement to leverage the enterprise feature
As the sys engineer for an organization that creates the policy…don’t do that
I was given windows 10 pro with the computer I adopted. I didn’t realize it was an enterprise feature.
Are we talking about this feature? If yes, you must simply ask company / school in which that computer is assigned to to remove it from their Autopilot list.
