Or did they not even do that? iirc it goes: on all clean installs of windows 10 past 1709 it will not install smbv1 (server or client). on upgrades it will keep both client and server, but if they are not used within the first 15 days after the upgrade windows will uninstall them (server and client independently measured and uninstalled). the exception in the upgrade case is in enterprise where there is no such usage check, as microsoft foolishly imagines enterprise installs are being competently managed or some such

if you do a clean install of windows 10 and sign in with a Microsoft account it truncates your first name to five letters for the user folder you can’t change it without a bunch of registry hacks you can’t enter a preferred name for the user directory lol, microsoft

my initial thought was that they truncate it to prevent long path issues but you’d think they’d at least mention it and/or just let you pick the drat name of the home folder like Apple does

one drive for business "new" sync client is great for that. you can't set the folderpath through the ui, it's your base user folder, then <company name> - <library name>, then the remainder of the path. it's pretty trivial to hit the 256 character path limit after that and welp, that breaks sync.
