When you create a new account in Windows, it comes up with options related to privacy. For example, you will see the option to enable or disable Speech recognition, Location service, Find my device, Inking & typing, and so on. If you often need to create a test account in Windows, and you do not want to give this option, you can disable Privacy Settings Experience at sign-in in Windows 11/10 using this simple trick.
You can use Registry Editor as well as Group Policy Editor to get it done. Also, you need to log in as Administrator before following these steps. It is also recommended to create a backup of Registry files or create a system restore point before making any changes.
