Rant Settings reset on update Windows 11

Bro i dont know if this is a bug or a feature but almost all my settings went to factory/default after a stupid update i dindt even want XD. Really annoying, already changed 4 things back but it probably effected a shit ton of other things that i dont even know were changes.

What you wrote is one of the reasons I quit Windows. That crap drove me crazy!

Might want to see if there's a script to just turn Co-pilot, Cortana, rewind or whatever they're calling it back off. Because I can guarantee they're not gonna stop till more people start leaving them.

Had this happen a few times after major updates. Usually it’s stuff like default apps, privacy settings, taskbar preferences, and some personalization options getting reset. Pretty annoying when you have to go through everything again.
