So the cocks* where i work have recently started a policy where sleep mode is no longer a good idea anymore. This is so that they can push gpupdates everyday, i.e bogus corporate propaganda such as changing our desktop wallpaper. Like developers give a fly f* about corporate events and wtf marketing actually do with their time. Filled with noisey ass b*.

I wouldn't be half surprised if the policy is enacted by the head of IT. C* refuses to teach any one on his team so this way he looks important and busy all of the time.

Any one who knows how to get around my sleep windows 10 mode issues then please help a brother put.

Also bytw im not sexist - its shit being sat next to marketing.

Why the fucking censorship? we're devs we cus at computers all day long. We ain't no pansy ass managers so let it out.

@PerfectAsshole im making a conscious effort to clean up my language man. Im pissed but not going to dirty my tongue over the cumst* i work for. IT pisses me off.

@AngryFatman i tried that before. It gave me an ulcer

I still wonder where to find the footnote for *
You're referencing it a lot

Slightly unrelated but still related... My company locked down settings so we can't change the wallpaper, but I found it's just a reference to a certain picture so I just took a different picture, saved it as the same name as the original wallpaper and put it in the same location then deleted the original. New wallpaper without messing with locked settings.

@ryanmhoffman nice... now help find a solution to mine please?

@AngryFatman haha. Fuck cleaning up your language.. you do that you’ll die inside a little bit. It’s scientific. 😁
I’m one eloquent motherfucker but I love descriptive swear words. 👌🏼

Disable Windows Management Instrumentation and it should disable most domain policies, and the domain's ability to completely control your pc. Might alert IT, though, depending on specific monitoring software.

If you can access the registry, you should be able to disable/modify some policy settings, too. They're applied at login, so changes won't revert right away; unlikely they'll persist across reboots, however, so save the tweaks in a .reg file and run with admin privileges. If you cannot do that, you might be able to set up a service or startup script with privileges to do the same if you start in safe mode.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with win10 enough to help with specifics.

I'm also bloody exhausted and can't remember all the tricks I used, both to prevent users from bypassing my domain policies, and to bypass them myself at other companies.

@Root as a fellow brother in arms you owe to me and all dev kind to "root" out those reg keys/scripts you once used.

Purrty pwease?
