    "Let Windows track app launches" automatically re-enables


    I prefer to have the privacy setting "Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results" disabled in my settings, but every time I turn it off it turns itself back on when I restart my PC. This doesn't happen with any other settings I have. Is there any fix for it?

    :)

    Cannot enable "track app launches" for "most used apps" list

    Both settings below are greyed out with the message "Some settings are hidden or managed by your organization"

    1. Privacy/Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results

    2. Personalization/Start/Show most used apps

    I cannot find a way to enable them. Tried sfc /scannow in Safe Mode, setting Data collection to Full, disable/enable Cortana. Also verified the following group policies, leaving them to 'Not configured' (and also trying 'Disabled'):

    "Turn off user tracking"

    "Remove frequent programs list from the Start Menu"

    "Turn off personalized menus".

    Don't know what else I can try, apart from reinstalling Windows which would be an over-the-top solution. Using the latest W10 x64 Pro (stable version).

    Thanks for any help.

    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\All Settings: these are the changed ones:

    I compared the above with my other PC, and they are exactly the same. On that PC however, App Launch Tracking works normally and can be enabled/disabled.

    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\All Settings: all is 'Not configured'

    I couldn't find something relevant in the Resultant Set of Policy.
