Yes or No
What protection does
At a high level, deGDID does two things:
Blocks known Microsoft registration paths by managing a region in the Windows hosts file, plus reinforcing the block with Windows Firewall rules.
Wipes known local GDID-related state across target-user, SYSTEM, and .DEFAULT identity locations, token device IDs, device tickets, Credential Manager entries, ConnectedDevicesPlatform, TokenBroker, WAM broker caches, and matching NegativeCache entries.
The tool is intentionally conservative. It refuses managed, domain-joined, Entra-joined, MDM-enrolled, or ambiguous multi-profile systems. It requires admin rights, it backs up what it touches, and it supports undo using .\degdid.ps1 -Unprotect.
