IIRC it also breaks emoji picker. I have renamed the startmenuexperiencehost and clouexperiencehost folders in %windir%\systemapps. I assume that's as good as deleting the folders? I've not noticed any issues with startmenu (I use openshell too), or with taskbar or system tray.
Why dont u post this before? This is what i was looking for... Tell me, what happened after u remove client.cbs? Any other things broke beside snipping tool? What about the start menu? Explorer? Do u know what is the capability name of CloudExperienceHost? Thanks
After removing Windows Update component in toolkit v13.3,problems may arise when installing new input methods.
CloudExperienceHost (delete before connecting to the Internet) For FriedTempe Spoiler: Tweakers Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\Autologger\CloudExperienceHostOobe] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows\CloudExperienceHost] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows\CloudExperienceHost\CreateObjectTask]
could someone tell me if i put a # beside the component name in RemovePkgsList.txt it will exclude that component from being removed? exammple: #StickyNotes
To support commenting of list lines you would have to modify the lines below in Toolkit.cmd: from: for /f %%z IN ('"type %RemovePkgsList%" 2^>nul') do ( to: for /f "eol=# tokens=*" %%z IN ('type "%RemovePkgsList%" 2^>nul') do ( from: for /f %%z IN ('"type %RemoveAppsList%" 2^>nul') do ( to: for /f "eol=# tokens=*" %%z IN ('type "%RemoveAppsList%" 2^>nul') do ( 2 occurencies from: for /f %%z IN ('"type %FeaturesList%" 2^>nul') do ( to: for /f "eol=# tokens=*" %%z IN ('type "%FeaturesList%" 2^>nul') do ( That way you can even organize the components according to the Menus.
I don't have Microsoft Store installed and I am trying to install the app version of WhatsApp, as the desktop version keeps on whining about being outdated now. I have download the x64 files related to WhatsApp and installed them from PowerShell, but WhatsApp opens for 1/10th of a second then immediately closes. Below are the commands I used to install the files I downloaded: Spoiler Add-AppxPackage -path "D:\Downloads\WhatsApp\Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" Add-AppxPackage -path "D:\Downloads\WhatsApp\Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2_2.2.28604.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx" Add-AppxPackage -path "D:\Downloads\WhatsApp\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8_8.2212.15002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx" Add-AppxPackage -path "D:\Downloads\WhatsApp\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx" Add-AppxPackage -path "D:\Downloads\WhatsApp\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx" Add-AppxPackage -path "D:\Downloads\WhatsApp\5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop_2.2312.3.0_neutral_~_cv1g1gvanyjgm.Msixbundle"
I suspect cloud experience host is bundled with shel components?? can't remember the capability name off by hand.
Even without making the change in the script code? I think it won't work if you don't designate in the command to ignore lines that start with ; The batch script sees ";" and "," as if they were spaces. Unless you force the script to see it as a character. There in the command I put #, but it can be replaced by ; However # is used to comment out lines in many languages, I think it's a good idea to keep #. But it's up to everyone's preference.
seems to have worked for me up to the latest build of the toolkit. maybe @MSMG can provide further details
Having a problem with a PC freezing. Wondering if it could be an audio driver issue. I'm using a full generic HDA driver (v9205 FF00). I've always done that because it installed the HDA manager. But on ALC4080 audio chips and later that component wont install. So I'm going to install the driver from the MSI site Problem is none of the PCs I build have access to the store or Microsoft accounts. Is there a way to download the store part from somewhere else (Eg adguard?) but I need the package name Then apply that to a live system? Using 21H2 (19044.2486). New motherboard, CPU and boot SSD
The main problem is that Msixbundle is not compatible with Add-AppxPackage which only supports appx and appxbundle. And, the Dependencies have to be installed with the DISM parameter "/DependencyPath:" or PowerSehll "-DependencyPath".

Microsoft Store Package Family Name Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe or Running the powershell commnad wsreset -i will install just the latest Store with its dependencies.
What's going on with rg-adguard? I downloaded updated apps yesterday. But you can always fetch it from github. I find some UWP there. By removing the store you lose the WinGet function via the command line, which is very useful. Updating your desktop apps and UWP apps like apt update && apt upgrade is great. Just use: WinGet.exe update --all Or a slightly more complete command: WinGet.exe update --recurse --all --force --interactive My opinion: it is no longer worth removing the store in exchange for so much inconvenience to be able to deal with more current technologies. @MSMG, is it possible to remove the Store while keeping the DesktopAppInstaller working, which is responsible for the Winget?
You forgot to translate here. If you are using Start.cmd it should work correctly. If you disable UAC, the NSudo may not start. And Run as Admin will not work properly. The MSMG put in a different detail to work around this "Access Denied issue" in 13.3, I'm assuming you've already updated. Use short paths. C:\MSMG or C:\TK
