I would be very wary. That instruction sounds like an “unsupported” hack that’s likely to lead to future problems.

Why is this a hack? This just a toggle to disable the new “feature”.

It makes total sense for the Windows engineers to have this kind of feature flag.

And i dont think they are going to rip out the code that runs and supports local accounts.
