@Clusterhead
You're probably referring to this post of yours where you wrote that.
Though, that was not a direct reply to me or my post, but still, I've read that anyway.

But what you missed that,
I also wrote in my earlier post here that I first clean installed 26100.3775 & then from 26100.3775 upgraded to 26100.3915 via Windows update
and still the 'inetpub' is missing on my C drive(s)

Therefore, I posted the same here to ask/know about others' opinions & experience on this.

 

Hi all

I downloaded Win 11 24H2 ISO from M$
Removed almost all of the ProvisionedAppxPackage from ISO using DISM except this :

Microsoft.Paint
Microsoft.WindowsNotepad
Microsoft.WindowsCalculator

Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller (failed to remove)
Microsoft.SecHealthUI (failed to remove)

After fresh install the Calculator didn't work at all when I clicked it

Is there any way how I can resolve this?
Or maybe that calculator package with other packages that I should not remove?

 

@RADITZDJ And if you try to reinstall it (via the .msix), the dependencies are indicated, if I remember correctly

 

The new edge update is trashed , microsoft editor broke, can no longer move profile to title bar, enhance video settings are just 1 toggle with no options
The UI doesnt even know what shade of dark to use, it keeps changing
Well done microsoft, im on 24h2 beta build.

 

you probably removed the logic.
It uses system libraries and frameworks provided by Windows itself.
Internally, Windows Calculator also utilizes Microsoft's standard math libraries,

 

Which is going to become 25H2? Is it 26120 or 26200? Does the beta and dev channels still install as a new build install these days when going from retail to one of them or is it more like what we expect from an enablement package and it just installs without windows.old being created? Can anyone confirm?

 

Does the BETA channel still perform a full upgrade as well these days?

 

so MS says new start menu next month who needs it when you have windhawk

 

Windows 11 is now almost a 4 year old OS, Windows 10 is soon to hit its final EOL date.

Microsoft always supports 2 versions of Windows concurrently (the current one + the one released prior).

Hints of a new UI style for Windows have started surfacing in different places, firstly, with Windows CPC/NXT -- the Thin Client OS that runs on the 365 Link, although it lacks a proper desktop, it is clearly noticeable it looks different from standard W11, with a much rounder and more translucent UI.

And last week, build 26120.3281 for the dev channel brought this same rounder style to full desktop Windows, although only in the Recall/Click to Do apps for now.

I have reason to believe Microsoft is going to revamp the entire Windows UI with this new cleaner, rounder style borrowed from NXT/CPC.

Moreover, Zac Bowden said 25H2 is a new platform release as opposed to only an enablement package, which is really a technical way of saying its going to be a new OS.
The visual language departure from W11 will be so large it will warrant a new brand name instead of just being called the "Windows 11 2025 Update".

Soon the Dev channel should start testing builds from the se_release development branch, which should be the same 27xxx builds now being tested on Canary, but with new user-facing features combined, most likely the first of these new builds (dropping tomorrow or next week) will already include the rounder context menus for the whole OS.


And of course, MSFT can't just keep rehashing and reusing the Windows 11 name forever. At some point users and PC manufacturers will start getting anxious for something actually new. Just imagine, 40 years from now, "Windows 11 65H2" -- no... just no....

We'll see.

 

I don’t think you have your information correct because the 25H2 update is an enablement package. Zac Bowden doesn’t work for Microsoft. How the hell would he know over people who do that said it was an enablement package on Twitter? You always post incorrect stuff. Give it a rest already.
