    I posted here because that is the Window version I have but this applies to many different versions of Windows.

    Most users I help do not feel confident enough to directly edit the Registry and rely on .reg file from a trusted source and the Merge process to add that change to their Registry. Because of the pop up warning when merging a .reg file and other warnings that editing the registry can “destroy you PC and make it stop working” some users won’t use the merge process and result in not getting the Registry change they need.
    I developed the following method to allow these users to apply the Registry change easily without any warning windows popping up to scare them.
    I post this method for those that help such users.

    I posted the method in the attached PDF.

      Agree this is applicable to more than 22H2; perhaps the Wizop (Susan) will move this to the “Questions:Windows 10” subfolder, and perhaps make it a “sticky” (I haven’t yet vetted it myself).

      If you have a .reg file, you can also run regedit /s filename.reg which silently applies the changes.
