Some Windows 11 settings via GPO

Question

Hi group,

I'm building a Windows 11 client for an enterprise environment and I try to set some settings via GPO, powershell or registry. I've tried several ways but none of them worked well enough. I hope you can help me with just some of them.

1. Disable bluetooth but user should be able to set it on

2. Disable the "do not disturb" feature

3. Removing the pinned Edge on taskbar from new/default profiles

4. Set the Power Mode to "Best power efficiency"

5. Remove Music and Videos from explorer quicklaunch

6. Set the taskbar to dark but let the Apps light

7. Enable some apps on systray

Thank you in advance and I hope this can help someone more.

@Zack11247 Did you find any solution to the Power Mode setting?
I found that it sets a registry key, and changing that will after reboot apply the setting you want.

The Power Mode setting is saved to the ActiveOverlayAcPowerScheme string value (REG_SZ) in the protected registry key below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\User\PowerSchemes

961cc777-2547-4f9d-8174-7d86181b8a7a = Best power efficiency

00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 = Balanced
