Mach2 – Windows Feature Control Multi-Tool

You can turn on microsoft office ads, even on Wordpad, if seeing ads make you productive. https://winaero.com/blog/wordpad-is-gettings-ads-in-windows-... (Article found from hackernews a few minutes earlier)

I saw a mention of this tool when searching for how to disable the expansion of the Start menu's sidebar (where your user icon/power off/logout/etc. buttons are). It was a non-expanding piece of UI before a recent Windows 10 update, and I don't really need a written explanation of what each button does.

Edit: it was also a winaero article, https://winaero.com/blog/disable-start-menu-auto-expand-on-m...

Also seen in project issues with a completely different feature ID: https://github.com/riverar/mach2/issues/14

Didn't try to toggle any of them so far.

I regularly download pre-release builds, their symbols, scan/diff for features, then upload the results to the repository [1].

For some background, highly recommend listening to Alex Ionescu + Gabrielle Viala talk about the undocumented Windows Notification Facility at Blackhat 2018 [2].

A friend of mine, Albacore, is doing the research and building tools around the next version of this system worth checking out too [3].
