What it changes

Before anything is written, the review screen shows this setting's current value on your PC next to the new one.

Why it helps

Fewer cloud-synced features.

Trade-offs

Workspaces are unavailable.

Evidence

Strong evidenceExpected impact:Small

Strong evidence means: documented by microsoft or consistently measurable. Expected impact is small (1 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.

Is it in a pack?

No. It isn't hand-picked as recommended, so you apply it on its own, after reading the trade-offs.

How to undo

Switch the tweak off in Nexus, or open Restore Center and restore this change (or choose Undo last change). Nexus writes back the original value it recorded before applying, not a generic default, then reads it back to confirm.

Where it applies

  • Only offered when Microsoft Edge is installed.

Anywhere else, Nexus shows it as not applicable instead of pretending it works.
