That's a simple question.
That's a simple question.
Check if Windows highlights any modifications from its default setup, even settings that can't be altered—like turning off UpdateOrchestrator or setting a trusted installer. I'm interested in seeing everything that's changed, including those tricky configurations.
Only a complete reset isn't possible since the settings have definitely shifted.
There are various tools created, but they usually focus on a limited area. Windows configurations? Besides the obvious I wouldn’t grant it access, it’s also a complicated issue. Configs reside everywhere—registry entries, ini files, JSON, YAML. The options are endless. A straightforward way to locate it is: systeminfo | find /i "install date"
I often save key updates in a text file to remember them. I’m not confident Windows will always retain my preferences. After major yearly updates, the System restore feature is typically disabled, and older restore points are removed. I’d like to keep this tool enabled.
a file-based approach could work, though it’s a bit late for my situation. I’ve tried “restore points,” but they didn’t actually fix what I wanted to revert. Usually, restoring just does nothing—either an error or a vague success claim. The same goes for settings; they’re meant to update everything to defaults, which makes sense after you changed something. It feels like a design choice to let you back things as they were, not just for convenience.
