on toolkit 12.3 remove quick connect is missing from system apps menu... but on toolkit 12.2 there is quick connect removal
Some apps in Start auto-install after new windows installation. How can unpin all of them by using toolkit ? Thanks,
Customize Menu Import Custom StartMenu Layout from XML File Note: This will blank your StartMenu, sometimes don't work for me. But in CustomToolkit For W11 I put a scheme that implements the replacement of startmenu.bin With several combination options for display in the Start menu. Spoiler: Readme.txt "DefaultStartMenuLayout.bin" Has only pinned shortcuts for non-removables. File Explorer and Settings. That is why I selected it as Default. 1. Choose any file within Templates folder; 2. Copy it to Main ".\Bin\StartMenuLayoutBIN" folder; 3. Rename it to "CustomStartMenuLayout.bin". Note: If the file "CustomStartMenuLayout.bin" is present, the file "DefaultStartMenuLayout.bin" will be ignored. You can simply create your template (adding, removing and arranging the order of the pinned shortcuts) directly in your Start Menu. When your customization is ready, copy the "start.bin" file that was instantly overwritten, into the folder "%LocalAppdata%%\PackagesMicrosoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState". And put the newly generated "start.bin" renamed as "CustomStartMenuLayout.bin" into the ".\Bin\StartMenuLayoutBIN" folder. .\Toolkit\Bin\StartMenuLayoutBIN\Templates DefaultStartMenuLayout FileExplorer Settings [DEF4132D].bin start empty [9846A051].bin start FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge MsStore [8A11646C].bin start FileExplorer MsEdge MsStore [1EF1857D].bin start FileExplorer MsEdge [2BBD8C33].bin start FileExplorer MsStore [A34D61BB].bin start FileExplorer UWPCalc [305193CB].bin start FileExplorer Win32Calc UWPCalc [DD286358].bin start FileExplorer Win32Calc [7FC309BA].bin start FileExplorer [0D17D92F].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge MsStore StickyNotes Notes UWPCalc [46598F8D].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge MsStore StickyNotes Notes Win32Calc UWPCalc [DD19B2ED].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge StickyNotes Notes UWPCalc MsStore [2AEB95AE].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer MsEdge MsStore UWPCalc StickyNotes Notes [95A4C0EA].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer MsEdge StickyNotes Notes UWPCalc MsStore [FA715075].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer MsEdge StickyNotes Notes Win32Calc UWPCalc MsStore [5229F5AC].bin
Code: GamingApp XboxClient XboxGameCallableUI XboxGameOverlay XboxGamingOverlay XboxIdentityProvider XboxSpeechToTextOverlay XboxTCUI These are the components I believe I need to KEEP and shall be adding to my list to enable Xbox App to work properly.. I would also welcome input from @MSMG before I test, if he doesn't mind.
Import Custom StartMenu Layout from XML File didn't work. @MSMG I removed all windows apps. But Clipchamp and Get Started still appear after install new windows 11 22h2
1. In CustomToolkit package, Choose any file within ".\Bin\StartMenuLayoutBIN\Templates" folder; 2. Rename to start.bin 3. Copy and replace it to Main "%LocalAppdata%\PackagesMicrosoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState" folder; 4. Restart. You can change the start menu manually. Then enter the item 4 folder and save your personalized start.bin. When you change your menu Start.bin is saved automatically. When you start the system after a clean installation the icons that appear are just suggestions. They will only be installed through the store if you click. After a few minutes or hours, these recommendations icons will disappear.
It seems to me that @hiepbg is primarily interested not in the personalization of the Start menu, but in the need to get rid of self-installing unwanted applications. That is, in this case, you can apply the setting: [4] Customize -> [8] Apply Tweaks -> [В] Disable Automatic Download and Install of 3rd Party Apps And remove the ContentDeliveryManager component responsible for installing them. And of course it will get rid of unwanted auto-installation of Teams, if it is also needed: [4] Customize -> [8] Apply Tweaks -> [C] Disable Automatic Download and Install of Microsoft Teams App
