That's ok, don;t use store or winget. Don't use inbox or any UWP apps that I am aware of. The only time I Have this issue is when vendors have split the driver packages into a vendor component and microsoft component. For example, when nvidia switch to dch the control panel was only available from the store... Until I found that nvidia now include it as part of the dch package. But not all motherboiard vendors are packaging the audio control package with the driver download. The ASRock USB audio driver was good, but the MSI drivers for several motherboards want me to get the control package from the store, which I can't do.
What's the Audio device used, is it Realtek? Do specify the App name? will check and get the package name. Here are some of the OEM App package family names AD2F1837.HPSupportAssistant_v10z8vjag6ke6 AdvancedMicroDevicesInc-2.AMDLink_0a9344xs7nr4m AppUp.IntelGraphicsExperience_8j3eq9eme6ctt AppUp.ThunderboltControlCenter_8j3eq9eme6ctt NVIDIACorp.NVIDIAControlPanel_56jybvy8sckqj RealtekSemiconductorCorp.RealtekAudioControl_dt26b99r8h8gj RivetNetworks.KillerControlCenter_rh07ty8m5nkag WavesAudio.MaxxAudioProforDell2020_fh4rh281wavaa
Hello Mr. Sergey so sorry for my very late reply, im in the middle of school's end year exams... must study hard to get good grades... thank u so much
if you have the uwp installed, PowerShell.exe -Command "(Get-AppxPackage *edge*).PackageFamilyName" replace "edge" for what you want to search. Or get full Family list PowerShell.exe -Command "(Get-AppxPackage).PackageFamilyName" PowerShell.exe -Command "..." The command will work with cmd.exe, PowerShell 5.1 "PowerShell.exe" and PowerShell 7.x "PwSh.exe"
Code: @echo off echo Taking ownership of Microsoft.CloudExperienceHost... takeown /f "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.CloudExperienceHost" /r /d y echo Deleting Microsoft.CloudExperienceHost... rd /s /q "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.CloudExperienceHost" echo Done! pause save as "remove-cloudexperiencehost.cmd" Run as admin Bring the results. Note: Use at your own risk. Maybe you need to add this at the beginning of the script, after @echo OFF. Code: TaskKill.exe /IM "explorer.exe" /T /F >nul 2>&1 to launch explorer again: ctrl + shift + esc to open task manager open new task and type explorer.exe Or restart the PC.
Sir, you are a legend! Realtek is used on ASRock and MSI boards - the only brands I will use.

Realtek in this list as I've always used the HDA driver. But since The Realtek HD Audio manager wont install on systems with ALC4080 or later audio there is no need to stick with HDA - provided I can avoid the need for using the store or microsoft accounts.
Is it possible to add an option to unpin the Microsoft Store icon from the taskbar, so it isn't shown on the taskbar on fresh installs?
Hello dear MSMG, at line #7844 in Toolkit 13.3, you have to delete client package of SSH rather than Server Package. Please have a look there & replace in next release. Note - I know, this doesn't affect the working of Toolkit, but taking an opportunity to inform you. Thanks and Regards,
Okay another question. How do you generate a list from ToolKitHelper.exe? The below command isn't working for me: C:\MSMG-Toolkit_v13.3\Bin\ToolKitHelper.exe C:\MSMG-Toolkit_v13.3\Mount\Install\1
you need to ad the \ at the end of the path of your mount dir. it should look something like this: ToolKitHelper.exe c:\t\mount\install\3\ /? >>packages.txt
Thanks for that, that worked nicely! @MSMG I am struggling a little with my Windows 11 RemovePkgsList which I am trying to maintain. For Windows 11 2262x, which components do I need for the Microsoft Store to work, so I can install apps? I do not intend signing into the store, but I understand that the store is required to install apps. I use the below list for Windows 10, however ServicesStoreEngagement does not appear to be present in Windows 11 (see attached file): WindowsStoreClient DesktopAppInstaller ServicesStoreEngagement WindowsStoreClient In order to keep Xbox and Microsoft Store functionality, these are the components I remove in Windows 10: WindowsStoreClient XboxClient XboxGameCallableUI DesktopAppInstaller ServicesStoreEngagement StorePurchaseApp WindowsStoreClient XboxClient XboxGameOverlay XboxGamingOverlay XboxIdentityProvider XboxSpeechToTextOverlay XboxTCUI Again ServicesStoreEngagement is not present in Windows 11 and I am unsure about XboxApp which I assume is called XboxClient in Windows 11? Have attached w11.txt which shows the components in my Windows 11 build.
Needed for: Windows Store DesktopAppInstaller - is interesting to keep for working winget commands. WindowsStoreClient - Microsoft Store Client, required to Microsoft Store work WindowsStoreApp - Microsoft Store App StorePurchaseApp - Microsoft Store Purchase App, not sure if removed you're able to buy games, apps in the Microsoft Store without issues. ServicesStoreEngagement AdvertisingXaml AccountsControl - Required to sign in to apps. AADBrokerPlugin XboxIdentityProvider Xbox Identity Provider - Require for sign in to Xbox Console Companion (Read as XboxApp or GamingApp) XboxClient - required to xbox app work XboxApp "w10" equal GamingApp "w11" - Xbox Console Companion XboxSpeechToTextOverlay
Thanks for this! I am not able to find ServicesStoreEngagement or AdvertisingXaml in my list of components that I attached to my previous post. Perhaps this is because I am using an Enterprise image? Please confirm that this is the list I need for Store and Xbox functionality: AADBrokerPlugin AccountsControl WindowsStoreClient XboxClient DesktopAppInstaller GamingApp StorePurchaseApp WindowsStoreApp XboxIdentityProvider XboxSpeechToTextOverlay And please confirm that this the list I need for Store only functionality: AADBrokerPlugin AccountsControl WindowsStoreClient DesktopAppInstaller StorePurchaseApp WindowsStoreApp Have left ServicesStoreEngagement and AdvertisingXaml from the list, as I they are not shown in my list of components.
Yes the provided should be enough, but keep in mind that Speech Recognition is also required by some games as reported in NTLite forum. And if you use Snipping Tool is better keep Capture Picker.
