+Windows configuration
+=====================
+
+User Account Control
+--------------------
+
+Disable User Account Control (Windows 7/8):
+
+    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System ^
+        /t REG_DWORD /f /v EnableLUA /d 0
+
+This also works on Windows 10, but, as with Windows 8, renders all "modern"
+applications unusable, which in case of Windows 10 includes the infamous
+Cortana, disabling even the simplest things (like searching among installed
+applications).
+
+Windows Update
+--------------
+
+Disable automatic reboots after updates are installed (Windows 7/8/10):
+
+    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU ^
+        /t REG_DWORD /f /v NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers /d 1
+
+Windows 10 upgrade
+------------------
+
+Disable the "Get Windows 10" application (Windows 7/8):
+
+    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx ^
+        /t REG_DWORD /f /v DisableGwx /d 1
+
+Disable the Windows 10 upgrade:
+
+    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate ^
+        /t REG_DWORD /f /v DisableOSUpgrade /d 1
+
+Desktop environment
+-------------------
+
+Disable the "new app installed" notifications (Windows 8/10):
+
+    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer ^
+        /t REG_DWORD /f /v NoNewAppAlert /d 1
