GroupPolicy/Registry issue
My MDR product is having an issue with scanning the registry of our hosts. It times out and causes performance issues, essentially bringing down the host. I opened a case with their support and we narrowed the issue down to this reg key: Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects There are hundreds of sub keys, each with their own sub keys. It seems each time group policy is applied to the host, 2 new keys are created, a machine and a user key. As a test, I deleted everything under the main key and rebooted. After logging back in, 2 new keys had been created. After a day I checked again and there were a dozen or more. Now after a few weeks we're back up to hundreds. Does anyone have any ideas as how to automatically clean up the older entries to keep the number to a minimum? Or is there a way to stop this behavior? Thanks

How to Manage Preferred Languages in Microsoft Edge via Registry or Preferences File?
I'm https://superuser.com/q/1842491/588662 to manage the preferred languages in Microsoft Edge on Windows. Specifically, I want to remove certain languages that appear in the "edge://settings/languages" settings (e.g., Dutch). I have a few questions regarding this: Registry Settings: Is there a registry key that controls the preferred languages in Edge? I've checked the `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Edge` path but found no clear indicators related to language preferences. If the preferred languages are stored in the registry, could you please provide the exact path or any subkeys where these settings are managed? Preferences JSON File: If the preferred languages are not controlled via the registry, could they be stored in the `Preferences` JSON file located at "C:\Users\$Env:UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Preferences​" ? If so, can anyone guide me on how to modify this file safely to update or remove language preferences? Best Practices: Are there any best practices or recommended methods for programmatically managing language settings in Edge? Whether through PowerShell, registry modifications, or editing the JSON preferences file, I would appreciate any advice or scripts that have worked for others. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Registry keys created after installation and left behind after uninstallation.
Hello, When we install an application using the MSIX package we created using the MSIX packaging tool, certain registry keys are created. Once we uninstall the application, some of the registry keys are left behind in the system. We are wondering why this might be the case ?" Thank you, Uvin
