I've installed Windows 10 21H1 21H2 Pro following the Optimized Image Guide (December 2023 update) by Hellbovine.
I noticed immediately that all of the settings in System Properties > Advanced > Performance were being reset to their defaults on every reboot. The one that really matters is 'Show window contents while dragging' because when this is unticked it seems you either get just a gray outline or, sometimes, nothing at all to guide you when moving windows. I have to keep toggling this on after every reboot along with some other useful settings. [Just out of interest, most of these are disabled by default, is this by design?]
I don't think this is down to any other changes I've made because I noticed this immediately after install.
I made the following changes to the ISO while following Hellbovine's guide:
