      In group policy (local or domain):
      Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Display highly detailed status messages

      Also make sure that this policy is not set or set to disabled:
      Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Remove Boot / Shutdown / Logon / Logoff status messages

      Instead of using local group policy you could use the registry:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
      “VerboseStatus”=dword:00000001

      If you do it through registry, make sure this key is either non-existant or set to 0.
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
      “DisableStatusMessages”

      If you use Windows a lot, get used to the group policy editor. Your computer should have the local group policy editor on it. If you’ve never used it before, you’ll be surprised at how configurable Windows can be if you know where to look. They just don’t really give those options to the everyday user.

        Thanks. That should also be fairly easy to automate. Might set it up as a powershell script so I have it on every Windows pc I am forced to use. Much appreciated kind stranger
