    To remove the new menu and revert to the old one:-

    open cmd as administrator and run the following:

    To remove the new Start Menu:

    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v NoStartMenuMorePrograms /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f && taskkill /f /im explorer.exe && start explorer.exe

    If you want to revert:

    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v NoStartMenuMorePrograms /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f && taskkill /f /im explorer.exe && start explorer.exe

    @abbodi1406
    is this true or something is missing?
    I set "SkipEdge=1" and also "SkipWebView=1"
    But on running W10UI_10.59s, it wasn't shown as usual in the cmd protocol as usual-see image below.
    Is this by design or not ?
    Regards

    If the option does not apply to the target image (or current OS), it's not shown

    I highly recommend this tool: w.w.w.elevenforum.com/t/garlins-powershell-scripts-for-updating-secure-boot-ca-2023.43423/
    I updated a P8Z77-V PRO without problems with UEFI CA 2011 revoked.

    Te line about the BIOS must be supported is the important part, the certs can be installed/applied by the LCU but if the bios is not updated then it is a nogo, and even with the latest BIOS update + may lcu it can go wrong:

    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1914631

    And my main concern is about people of all kinds of knowledge can brick their systems with all these homeprojects, msft and the oem should do it correctly and easy.

    I fully agree, and your concern is valid.
    My intention was simply to support him in these cases of old hardware, nothing more...

    On older hardware there is a big chance the bios is not supported anyway but on really old hardware there is most likely legacy bios only, although OEM systems can have uefi for a long time now, secureboot should probably easily be disabled.

    The old and modern hardware situations are getting pretty difficult, what is needed, possible or not and all.

    All seems to be about security but where msft loosens requirements something new is introduced to still upgrade hardware.

    At the moment i only ran into this crap on that pretty modern lenovo laptop i linked at earlier and if that is going to happen more often with people who don't have a clue, the support lines will be overloaded and there the oem's are now cutting down it seems.
