Windows: Disabling Azure Arc Setup on Windows Server 2022 and later

Since the end of 2024, a new component "Azure Arc Setup" has been coming with Windows updates, designed to manage Azure resources. If you do not use this functionality, it is recommended to disable it. To do this, open the PowerShell console with elevated privileges and run:

For Windows 2022:
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName AzureArcSetup
(Also for Windows 2022, you can disable this feature by disabling components using the "Server Manager")

For Windows 2025:
DISM /online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:AzureArcSetup~~~~

After this, you will need to reboot the host.
