hello,

I have windows 11 home and I am noticing many services that should not be included with the home edition running;

 Enterprise App Management

 Group Policy Client

 Declared Configuration (DC) Service

Why are these services running on a home edition?

    Enterprise App Management (EntAppMgmt) this service is actually present in all Windows 11 editions.

    • Provision apps so they're installed for all users of a device running Windows desktop editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education)

    Ref:

    Enterprise app management

    ================

    Group Policy Client cannot access gpedit.msc but used for enforcing some local system policies, like those related to Windows Updates, security settings, or user account restrictions. Even in Home editions, Windows relies on this service to maintain baseline configurations for system stability and security.

    ==============

    Declared Configuration (DC) Service:

    This is a core Windows service for managing system configurations

    Present in all Windows 11 editions including Home
