    If only they’d remove registry access as well so devs could only keep their settings in the local install folder. They shouldn’t have write access outside their installed folder anyway without specific permissions.

    There’s no need to clutter up a system registry with individual app settings.

      But even Microsoft is guilty of doing that, which infuriates me.

      You ask a simple question like “How do I disable hardware acceleration in Teams” (which used to be a setting before “new and improved” Teams was published) and the top answer ends up being something like “Edit this registry value, it’s easy”
