@TrisM Though it is an old thread and I haven't asked/wondered aloud back over nearly 2 years ago, was considering it to be just a SEP. But as you revoked revived the thread I am doing it now, because now I am really puzzled/curious and doubting again: I have Windows 10 Pro on 2 desktop + 1 laptop machines since the EOL of Window 7 and a third desktop setup in 2020. None of them had this behaviour and on all four (3 on 22H2, my laptop still on 21H2) this Group Policy is still defaulting to "Not configured" [edit: besides Mitus remark in the early posts that it is disabled as default on some mints of win10 and that's not including home/pro] . And as Win10 is using "Language Packs" (as it was on xp x64) instead of regional versions of the os itself, I somehow doubt that updates are meddling with those settings differently for different regions and I am still unsure why this was changed on some user systems and whether it truly was done by the M$ Update or by other means and if yes under what circumstances this would have happened.
