Think Im going abit insane, I cant find the slim taskbar option in the Creator v62 but I can find SMTBOption in the config?? Whats its value? some stuff Im having abit of an issue where the icons, shortcuts etc arent removed from the start menu when installing from a W10MUI made ISO but works when deployed over network Also the Defender taskbar icon isnt shown in server or client os, "enable defender systray icon" to show in Server OS is enabled and "hide defender from systray" is unticked Imma try with non modified ISOs now
Sorry I'm unable look into things at the moment as not at home near my pc. Stuck in hospital for a few days , had ct scan the other week to check heart. It shown dark area in a lymph node in the chest area , something they called 'hilar and mediastinal lymphadenoathy' so it's being investigated. Hoping to be home soon.
I'm hoping it is a infection that can be treated and not that c word. They not said much to me but no mention of a biopsy so I not think it cancer, have had many tests of blood etc since Sunday evening when I was admitted. Hope I'm out of here before Oct 23rd as I start my physiotherapy on my back! Joys of getting old , falling apart I'm keeping a positive mindset either outcome.
As for the icons on the start menu , there is the option to slim the startmenu or just taskbar or both. That has its own multi select bit in the creator. I know it works on a normal install, not tried via other ways like dism, via vhdx or using other scripts.
Defender icon vanishing , on server I'm sure I don't hide the icon if it not a client os. But if you use unlock defender it can sometimes hide it from system tray. No idea why.
Wish you a speedy recovery! Just abit of info but lets get you back home first: Yea I just cant find that option, I see a bunch of remove xx app from start/taskbar but not "slim taskbar" whatever beacuse now I have a bunch of "empty icons" on W11 start menu where there's suppose to be apps and Server 2022 has bunch of shortcuts also Attached image is stock W11 consumer 23h2 EN ISO, only thing added is MRP and autounattend to skip W11 requirements, OOBE\BypassNRO, it also sets default network to Home. Most apps doesnt even exist in program list I cant find anything of value in the logs about "slim" but I know Ive seen it ther and it says something bout default view
I'm trying to remember which creator tab it is on for slim/tidy start menu. I'm sure it's on one of the w1x tabs on the right side near bottom. My memory is terrible , considering I wrote the creator you think i know where everything is
The slim menu option has 'default' selection which don't change anything for the Start Menu and or taskbar.
Thanks all I will bounce back, I won't let it beat me. First it's time to get some sleep or i might get told off
Found the slim option set to Both in my build-mrpconfig, set it to Both in clientdeployment and updated an ISO so yea now it removes everything from start, still havent found the checkbox on cretor tho You know when you can go home?
Mrp Slim Start menu and taskbar option: It's not a single type checkbox option now, it's a multi select type one. It has default, just start menu, just taskbar and combined ie both. I think that how it's presented in wording. Default = leave alone ie not remove or slim either start or taskbar. Start only = just clean/slim the start menu. Taskbar only = just slim/clean the taskbar. Combined/both = slim / clean both start and taskbar.
Basically if you leave it set as default then any apps etc you not removed will be on the start and/or taskbar as normal. Using both or start only will clear all tiles off the start menu apart from settings and I think explorer.
