Is this tied to a registry key though? I do all my Windows cleanup and customization from Powershell/Ansible so having a GUI settings option isn't super useful.
I would expect so. Pretty much all settings in Windows are buried in the Registry somewhere. Whether or not this will be well documented, is an open question. Granted, Microsoft has a habit of changing settings like this, whenever the fancy strike them. So, you'll need to track that setting over time.
On Windows 10 it's also managable through Group Policy, so there should be an underlying registry key. It's the exact same option in the GUI so it shouldn't be too different for 11.
