Stop auto-installing promoted apps (Consumer Features)

DebloatSafe riskReversible

Sets DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures = 1 under Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent. This is the master switch behind the silent installs of promoted/sponsored apps and games (Candy Crush, TikTok, Spotify ads, etc.) that Windows drops into Start on fresh installs and after some updates. With it on, Windows stops fetching and installing that 'consumer experience' content. One of the highest-impact debloat policies. Reversible.
