Of course you can. Along with all the other annoyances Microsoft has added before, all the ones they will add in the future, and those you turned off, but they'll turn back on automatically.
Here's a pro tip: keep a text file of all the things you have to turn off again later. Separated into the following categories: turns back on every update, turns back on every startup, turns back on when starting a specific app, turns back on randomly, and can't be turned off anymore (for the future). Then make scripts to automate the process.
unfortunately i cant code so i guess its manual method for me
