Help,i used anti-telemetry script and now the startmemu will not work

You should be more careful about what you run.
I recommend to avoid all scripts that do not have the ability to reverse their changes.

 

That is exactly why I only do basic hosts file entries with disabling some telemetry related tasks in the multi oem project but I don't touch nothing else because of OS instability or app instability. If end user wish to disable or add more to hosts file, they can do that themselves. I do add a text file with the multi oem project with some ip's to block with firewall or router but them too don't effect the OS or apps (its end users choice to block the additional ip's or not).

 

Been there once and was able to fix it using PowerShell:

Code:

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Though, i'm not sure if this won't make "the other junk" reappear.

 

You deserve it. Worry about other s**t.

 

enable firewall maybe helps... disable firewall will cause start menu to stop working

 

agreed

 

This will reinstall the start menu. Anything you customized in it will be lost. Done it 3 times in technical preivews and 2 times in rtm.

 

You need only 2 apps in Windows 10 for games and such to work. Store and xBox. Everything else you can remove safely.

Removing store will prevent you from getting the apps you want and updating them. Removing xBox will prevent most of Microsoft's games (solitary for example) from loading. I removed xBox thinking I didn't need it, but thankfully I could reinstall it through Store.

 

And this will restore your store

READ =

Run PowerShell as Administrator.

Code:

Get-Appxpackage -Allusers

In the output, locate the Microsoft.WindowsStore entry. It was the last one for me. Look for the text PackageFamilyName.

Then run this PowerShell command, still elevated, replacing the ****** with the PackageFileName from above:

Code:

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\******\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

For example, in my case it should be:

Code:

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

You reinstall your OS, and do NOT disable stuff you are not supposed to disable.

 

I removed cortana, no need on my desktop, so it fails:

Code:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

how to kill ShellExperienceHost?

for me finally missing cortana is the reason this method fails:

Code:

Add-AppxPackage : Der Pfad "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppXManifest.xml" kann nicht gefunden werden, da er nicht vorhanden
ist.

 

That will teach you!

 

yep, some already learned it's better to go back to windows 7

 

try to reinstall cortana.
But dont fight it, just go back to 7 and live a happy life.

 

Do a windows 10 repair install, have your USB/DVD and run, set up and do an upgrade and your good....the process will take 30mins to 60mins total
