deGDID wipes Microsoft's tracking identifier from Windows by clearing GDID copies from the target user,.DEFAULT, and SYSTEM while blocking the DeviceAdd path with a dual-stack hosts firewall gate. The script clears known GDID copies and device-identity rehydrate sources from Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, applies network controls, and checks the DeviceAdd path.
