Why use Windows? Well, some people do. Why let Microsoft spy on your content? Why indeed? So, O&O Shut-Up (https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10) claims to cut the connection and telemetry between you and Microsoft. However, when Microsoft updates your computer, the settings are reset, and you have to run O&O ShutUp again.

Why not run OO which installs PowerShell 7+ if not installed, O&O Shutup, then it makes a scheduled tasks that runs the default settings after every Microsoft update?

Why futz around with re-running anything?

Just run OO once, and forget it.

Please file any bugs if you find them.

This isn't really going anywhere except to help internet users and my clients.

Hope it's helpful
