Bug ID: 47847 Summary: Disable Windows 10's "privacy wizard" after locale change Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fgouget@codeweavers.com Distribution: ---
The TestBot can automatically set up locale-specific live snapshots (after the locale has been manually installed, see point 1 of bug 47804).
However on Windows 10 the mandatory reboot is sometimes followed by a wizard asking a bunch of questions like whether to use audio speech recognition, what kind of reports to send Microsoft, etc. I think this is the "Choose your Privacy Settings" wizard. Of course that breaks the snapshot creation since the TestBot cannot answer these questions, fails to detect they are even being asked (because TestAgentd is already running in the background), and creates a snapshot of the half-baked state.
So one question is: how can one prevent Windows from putting up this wizard?
But then, while I had this wizard for the French locale, I did not get it for Arabic. Would it perchance only happen for European locales? If so the pain may be bearable.
