    Microsoft-Windows-Dolby-Features-FoD-Package-amd64.cab. It is available in x86, amd64 and arm64.

    Q: Have you tried it on the latest LTSC build. e.g. 26100.1 and 28000.1?

    will 21688 client.cbs be compatible with 22621 or 25398?

    Thanks for your response, @rayman95
    but this isn't about activating Windows. It's about the activation dialog box being blank; there may be an incomplete or incorrect license file.

    can you please confirm: does GN version coming without "gaming" features by default? or you delete gaming section in menu manually?

    You can see for yourself that the gaming menu isn't in the settings.
    That's just how it is after installation.

    Unpack Desktop Experience Package -> Open with Notepad++ -> Delete the relevant sections for Backup and Get Started -> leave everything else same / make sure no errors in code formatting -> Repack -> Profit
    ?

    Send me your appxmanefest

    in win10 search doesn't depend on client.cbs

    for example if you want to get rid of backup while keeping win+shift+s and search working, use userexperience-desktop .2913


    in win11 search depends on client.cbs

    for example if you want to get rid of get started while keeping win+shift+s working, use 20348 userexperience-desktop on 22000

    search won't work - game over
