Just a fun thing that might be useful to some people. You can add Group Policy Editor to Windows 10 without having the Pro edition.
Open an Admin command prompt and paste in the following:
Code FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO (
DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F"
)
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO (
DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F"
)
Then, go to run>gpedit.msc and you have Group Policy Editor without the Pro edition of Windows.
For those who really wanna limit Windows Updates and "privacy invasion", this is how. Pretty cool you can get it added. Surprised Microsoft allows it (assuming they know about it).

Devs know this is possible. It's part of DISM and really pretty obvious why this works. A simple check for Windows version could easily block this is Microsoft really wanted to.
For the minimal number of enthusiasts that actually have Windows 10 standard edition instead of pro, I don't think MS really cares. No business is going to be doing this.
Oh thank you, I've been searching for this, but I don't trust all those blogs with sketchy download links

"gpedit" allows turning off Windows Defender, location etc. At least, it does in Enterprise version.
Can someone provide me with like more some tips and tricks that you can dod in gpedit?

Install "gpedit", then "Computer configuration" -> "Administrative templates" -> "Windows components". You will see names of applications with its settings.
