            Bug ID: 47847
           Summary: Disable Windows 10's "privacy wizard" after locale
                    change
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: fgouget at codeweavers.com
      Distribution: ---

The TestBot can automatically set up locale-specific live snapshots (after the
locale has been manually installed, see point 1 of bug 47804).

However on Windows 10 the mandatory reboot is sometimes followed by a wizard
asking a bunch of questions like whether to use audio speech recognition, what
kind of reports to send Microsoft, etc. I think this is the "Choose your
Privacy Settings" wizard. Of course that breaks the snapshot creation since the
TestBot cannot answer these questions, fails to detect they are even being
asked (because TestAgentd is already running in the background), and creates a
snapshot of the half-baked state.

So one question is: how can one prevent Windows from putting up this wizard?

But then, while I had this wizard for the French locale, I did not get it for
Arabic. Would it perchance only happen for European locales? If so the pain may
be bearable.
