    do you have language files installed for notepad ?
    if you have used this command /RestoreHealth you will have to install notepad language packages again as they get removed when using /RestoreHealth.

    new post with wifi net 4.5 correction and error message at startup you still have to activate it

    I suggest ValidationOS-Desktop.

    You need to download ValidationOS 26100.1, and retrieve ValidationOS.wim from the root of the ISO.

    Once that's done, we'll add some packages:

    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-WOW64-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-WOW64-Package
    UserExperience-Desktop-Package
    BCD-Template-Server-Package
    Microsoft-NXT-WLAN-Package ( Windows CPC Edition)
    Microsoft-NXT-WLAN-WOW64-Package ( Windows CPC Edition)
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-Shared-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-VCRedist-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-VCRedist-WOW64-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx45-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx45-WOW64-Package

    language="en-US"

    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-WOW64-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-WOW64-Package
    UserExperience-Desktop-Package
    Microsoft-NXT-WLAN-Package ( Windows CPC Edition)
    Microsoft-NXT-WLAN-WOW64-Package ( Windows CPC Edition)
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-Shared-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-VCRedist-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-VCRedist-WOW64-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx45-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-NetFx45-WOW64-Package

    Add the unattend file provided in the pack.7z.txt and 3 registry keys.

    reg load HKLM\SOFTHIVE %MT%\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE
    reg add “HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /v ‘Shell’ /t REG_SZ /d “explorer.exe” /f
    reg add “HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /v ‘ShellInfrastructure’ /t REG_SZ /d “sihost.exe” /f
    reg unload HKLM\SOFTHIVE

    Reg load HKLM\SYSHIVE %MT%\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM
    reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\W32Time\Parameters" /v "Type" /t REG_SZ /d "NoSync" /f
    Reg.exe unload HKLM\SYSHIVE

    Installation is done as for WinPE.

    Partition with diskpart.

    Apply the image.

    Example:
    dism /apply-image /imagefile:“d:\test.wim” /Index:1 /applydir:e:\

    bcdboot e:\Windows /s c: /f UEFI (for UEFI)

    bcdboot e:\Windows /s c: (for mbr)

    On first startup, black circle will appear on a white background. Just click Accept and you're done.

    notepad works, win+x menu too :)
    ___________________________________________________

    it would be nice to have another language and quick assist


    this shows up in dism.log when i try to add quick assist by add-provisionedappxpackage:

    onecore\admin\appmodel\utilities\provisionhelper\msixpackageadapter.cpp(346)\AppxProvider.dll!00007FFC85876059: (caller: 00007FFC85864B1F) ReturnHr(2) tid(1c84) 80070490 Element not found

    i added Microsoft-OneCore-ApplicationModel-Sync-Desktop-FOD-Package, but still the same
