It turned out that a piece of software released would, under certain circumstances, send the code to switch this back on. This was discovered because some owners triggered the recharge circuit in this manner and then found that a little while later their computer exploded. This came as a shock, I can tell you.

So, anything's possible. Still, if a Microsoft test was blowing up routers all over the world you can bet you would have heard about it on the news by now.

Nice to hear the tweaks are working for some. I believe they should be right for most, so feel free to add feedback especially if any particular option is causing you trouble. I'm especially keen to hear from anyone who gets problems from turning on DCA.
