<S3994>Shared set of ahead-of-time compiled binaries, hard-linked into the apps that use them. Covers Start menu, Settings, account dialogs, app actions, AutoPlay, voice isolation and File Explorer parts.</S3994>

Post <S3880>
<S3945>Removing apps requires briefly stopping the app repository service, which takes Remote Desktop down with it and will drop this connection.
The process keeps running, reconnect to this machine after about a minute.</S3945>

<S3977>Ignored while Windows Welcome is skipped.</S3977>
<S3978>This legacy option skips the per-user phase that runs after the account is created, and repeats for each new user: the first sign-in animation and profile setup. It skips none of the Windows Welcome prompts, which are already answered by then.</S3978>

<S3928>Block clean-up of unused language packs</S3928>
<S3929>Stops the LPRemove task from deleting preinstalled language packs that no user on the machine has selected. Keeps an integrated language available and selectable after deployment, at the cost of the unused packs staying on disk.</S3929>

<S3942>Automatic per-user installation of the consumer Teams chat client.</S3942>
<S3946>Microsoft Defender cloud protection (MAPS)</S3946>
<S3947>Sends information about suspicious files to Microsoft's cloud service, which also controls automatic sample submission. Has no effect while the antivirus is disabled.</S3947>
<S3948>App install control</S3948>
<S3949>Controls whether Windows warns about or blocks apps installed from outside the Microsoft Store. While Smart App Control is on it behaves as if set to Anywhere, whatever is chosen here.</S3949>
<S3950>Anywhere</S3950>
<S3951>Anywhere, notify of Store app</S3951>
<S3952>Anywhere, warn if not from Store</S3952>
<S3953>Microsoft Store only</S3953>
<S3956>CPU vulnerability mitigations (Spectre, Meltdown)</S3956>
<S3957>Turning these off can recover noticeable performance on older processors, and leaves those processor vulnerabilities open to exploit. Needs a restart, and does nothing on a system without the January 2018 or later updates. (FeatureSettingsOverride)</S3957>
<S3958>Microsoft vulnerable driver blocklist</S3958>
<S3959>Stops drivers Microsoft flagged as exploitable from loading, off a list that ships with Windows updates. Memory integrity, Smart App Control and S mode each force it back on and grey out its Windows Security switch. (VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable)</S3959>
<S3960>Local Security Authority protection</S3960>
<S3961>Runs the credential process as protected, so tools that harvest passwords out of its memory cannot read it. Turning it on also arms a UEFI lock: on a machine that has already booted with it, turning it back off through the registry alone does nothing, and only an offline image or a clean install reverts it. Some older drivers and authentication add-ins stop loading under it. (RunAsPPL)</S3961>
<S3974>Updates during setup</S3974>
<S3975>Skips the Windows 11 setup screen offering the latest features and security updates, so setup continues to the logon screen. A fully unattended install may still attempt an update pass.</S3975>
<S3979>Privacy settings prompt on first sign-in</S3979>
<S3980>Windows asks each newly created account to choose privacy settings when it first signs in, and asks again after some upgrades. Disabled, those accounts keep the Windows defaults without being asked.</S3980>
