It persists to this day. I even came up with a reverse test: I replaced MP3 with MP333 on the list. And guess what- MP3 were no longer loaded visible in Mp3tag but MP333 did not start to appear.

I really would like to be able to turn off all or almost all of that built in by Microsoft security, with a single click. To me the number of drawback on Windows 10 in comparison to Windows 7 is staggering- and many of them are on the account of security reasons. Unfortunately users are treated like idiots. I do not mind that- as long as there is an advanced option that says to the system "But I am not an idiot, I know what I am doing, so please bugger off with your kindergarten approach- and if I really do mess something then I have a multiple images of the OS to bring back the system in a working condition" And if I have any doubts if what I think of Windows 10 has relation to reality, all I have to do is to compare the number of various registry hacks that I already have [and which number will increase in time] with the number of the old ones for Windows 7 But thank you for your concern.
