    I've been down that road.

    • It's experimental
    • It's opt-in
    • Opt out once when prompted
    • Turn off once in Settings
    • Turn off once in registry <-- we are here
    • Turn off three places in registry
    • Turn off every boot in registry
    • Install 3rd party app to disable
    • Install 3rd party OS to disable
