... Until the next update enables it again
that sort of thing on my work computer pissed me off so much that I finally swapped to Linux on two of my computers at home
lol yeah, but to be fair group policy usually doesn't reset... Until it does. If it were a managed device the domain controller or MDM (Intune) would be resetting it every time you log in so it would stay off but with local group policy you don't have that kind of guarantee. Strangely to me Intune doesn't use grop policy and instead uses a separate configuration API that it calls "Configuration Service Providers" that can lock these settings too.
One of the reasons I run linux at home is that I don't need to do this for my own computer that has been pretty stable on Debian with XFCE going on 20 years (different hardware too, just migrated home).
new linux user here (or trying to be, when i get a power supply, case, power button for frankenstein)
tips? also which distros, de, wm, etc would you recommend (yes im this new, i installed mint twice and grandma thinks its windows, so we're good. also its just on her 1 computer she almost never touches)
