        I don’t remember the command but it was easy to find. There are a couple of ways to do it. I used a scheduled power shell script for the persons computer I did it for. They used it to avoid a annoying set of trackers that kept her from getting the lowest price on some equipment website. That was in 2020 or 2021.

        Edit: I was mistaken about what generated ID I was talking about. You can however change GDID but it will force microsoft to reregister the installation so I don’t know how many times you could do it before microsoft refuses to do it again
