DISMTools Tips and Tricks (May 2023 update)
Let's begin by setting things up: use the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) or Policy Plus (if the Group Policy Editor isn't available). Go to "Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > System" and double-click the "Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair" entry. Then, set it to "Enabled" and specify a valid source.

Downgrading from Windows 11 to 10.
Cough. Though, I see no reason to run Windows 11 Home over Windows 10 Pro if you unless you really like the Windows 11 UI.

How do I stop windows from f**king up my drivers every few weeks?
It is actually possible to enable group policy editing on non-Pro versions of Windows. There's a FOSS program called Policy Plus that will let you change it, though with less functionality if you don't want to resort to command line shenanigans.

Can you disable OneDrive ?
If you don't have access to group policy editor, give Policy Plus a try. It's an open source alternative for the editor that works on Home edition as well.
-
what is something you can't believe people like?
With this being said, under the hood, the guts of the group policy framework are still fully intact on the other Windows editions. You can't use Microsoft's fancypants editor to control it, but they can't stop you from using a third-party editor like PolicyPlus.

How do you stop windows from restarting/updating by itself ?
In Windows Pro, use Group Policy (Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update) or for Windows Home read over and consider Policy Plus ( https://github.com/Fleex255/PolicyPlus -- read the whole README ). Or registries keys as in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-restart#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart but it's tricky to get Configure Automatic Updates/AUOptions set with all its options.

Cannot install display driver because blocked by Group Policy (0x800f0248) but I cannot unblock because the policies are missing on gpedit.msc
Update 1: I downloaded PolicyPlus from github because I wanted to have a look around, and I found out that i can access Administrative Templates and specifically the policies that i need to disable to unblock driver installations. However, all the policies say they are not configured, which is contradicting what Windows is saying. Anyone ever used Policyplus before?

The unreasonable effectiveness of i3, or: ten years of a boring desktop
Scripts like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat help, but should not be needed in the first place.
Note that modern Linux is also leaning towards the same trend. But i admit it is still much easier to avoid those for power users. Snap, i'm looking at you also...

First PC build
For my Windows, I first run a โdebloatโ script to remove all of the unnecessary bloatware that is included with Windows. This is the one I use. Afterward, I use Macrium Reflect to back up both my OS and my Games storage onto two separate storage drives (all internal m.2 drives). After that, regular cleaning of the disks using Disk Cleanup, maybe one/week, and everything runs smoothly.

Being offered the IT position at my small company (~10 PCs). Long time since I last played with Windows...
I'm a fan of using a debloat script.

Just installed Win 10 on a new machine (no choice; different discussion). I have minimal experience with it. Can someone point to a respected, maintained guide to privacy settings?
Most of the bloat can be removed with powershell commands, many of which can be found in lots of articles online with a search. This script removes some typical stuff.
What are some alternatives?
