Disabling "Let websites provide locally relevant content" is not working #143

Closed bfg01 closed 2 weeks ago

The corresponding key and value are: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\User Profile" /v "HttpAcceptLanguageOptOut" which are featured in the Standard xml in this repo.

But when using the xml to auto-install Windows and later checking Settings > Privacy > General, I see "Let websites provide locally relevant content" is actually enabled and not disabled. I need to manually disable it. All other registry settings as far as I remember were respected, though. Also, by manually browsing the registry, I noticed the key and value were not there at all, as if never created (or erased...)

Tried with the Standard xml from here, and also with a version generated by Schneegans service and modifying it, which uses the approximation of first loading the NTUSER.DAT and then using "HKU\DefaultUser" instead of "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". Same results.

Tried both in Windows 10 and 11.

Could you check it? Thanks.

Unfortunately, there are some registry keys that are deleted after every system restart and this is one of them. To fix this, you need to create a task that adds this registry key after each system restart. Of course, you can also use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
