@boco:
I just wanted to point out that Windows (or Windows Setup) is not able to keep all programs and user settings, even if it tries to do so, regardless of whether a program is dead or not. Some comments even suggest that some group policies are not kept, and that's where things get really ugly because they were certainly set for a reason.

The Classic Shell thing was only a FYI, as Classic Shell stopped being worked on at the end of 2017. Open Shell Menu will get further fixes, Classic Shell won't. Note that CS/OS has to re-apply its settings after a build upgrade. Currently it triggers a dialog, but the latest versions can do it silently.

All build upgrades I do (if I even touch Windows 10) are fully offline. All privacy and other patches are then reapplied and Telemetry killed to the maximum possible. Only after all is done (+AU disabled), the machines are allowed to go online, again.

And yes, boco and Dalai are right, the Windows Setup will try to keep everything.
But that includes the most cases and files. Always check, everything is fine, after doing an upgrade.

Yes, they fudged up a few times, that's why you are asked to re-select your privacy settings at some upgrades.
