      The OS, not the PC.

        The os controls the PC. As long as it’s running it’s controlling it

          if you refer to the hardware as “PC” then you are wrong, the OS utilizes the hardware and uses it. it cannot destroy it, and even if it could by using a lot of resources, “controlling” is the wrong word here. Microsoft owns the OS, not your computer and/or its hardware

            control is the perfect word for it. they control the hardware. doesnt mean necessarily that they can break it but they can do anything physically possible with it.

      I am sure they just replaced the gpo with another one and accidentally forgot to carry over the setting.

      They new one is totally better though and will improve your experience. You should configure it.
