The Cortana referred to in the Readme is the original Cortana, which is tied to Windows Search The current CortanaApp.View.App is not tied to Windows Search, and as such does not affect Search capabilities and is safe to remove ... a lot of people continue to mix up the two
... however both (Microsoft.Windows.Cortana and CortanaApp.View.App) exist in earlier versions therefore, my point being if users are unwilling to differentiate between the two, they will inevitably run in to issues when conveying information to others
Hi. Sorry if this has been answered but I don't have the time to read all 37 pages. (I read about the first 10 and the last 3) I want to use this on a 19041 Enterprise image made from uupdump I need the Store and to be able to sign in to the store. I believe I only removed recommended things, but with this, while I can run the store, I can not sign in, and as such cannot download my paid apps.
Yeah, that seems broken for some reason. What I do is go to Settings, Accounts, Sign-in Options and sign in there, then I'm signed into the Microsoft Store as well and can download my paid apps. As well, make sure the Xbox Live Auth Manager service is starting automatically and running.
Wow, that is a huge work-around. Switch from a local account to the MS account, swap back. Sign out/in. and ta-da - the sign in button actually does something in the store. Thank you, I've been trying to troubleshoot this for hours.
Ah... By store I meant Microsoft Store. I suppose you don't have to switch back to a local account after making your sign-in account into an MS account, which is what he described (or - the only related option available to me there), but I hate using the ms account to sign into my devices, particularly since my password for my live account is one of those complex random ones I use a password manager for.
Hey, I'm having issues with this script on 1809 LTSC. When I use a W10UI prepared iso without o-o'ing, it works fine. o-o builds fine with no errors. The errors come when trying to install (either on bare metal or in virtualbox). The setup gets to the "Just a moment" phase, which is quite late. It says "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation". Sometimes it just hangs for a LONG time on "just a moment". Pressing shift-f10 and reading the panther/UnattendGC/ error file on there tells me it failed to make a user account, and other oobe errors. Rebooting seems to help the process finish somewhat as it then installs, but i'm not sure to what state. The errors are still listed in the setuperror files. The virtualbox install fared better in that it seems to be working after that reboot, but bare metal is in worse shape. It never used to do that a couple weeks back when I tried it. I am using conservative options in the removing system apps: inputapp, AAD, BIO, EC, edgetoolkit, Addsugg, ContentDel, Fileexplorer, filepicker, parental, people, secure, xgpu, xbox, CBS. For Capabilities: QuickAssist, the 2 hello.face, onecoreUAP, OpenSSH. Packages: LanguageFeatures-Handwriting, TabletPCMath Optional features: XPS and workfolders.client Don't enable anything. I have included in a zip file the files that i modify, mainly to do with registry (remove some i want to keep) and some options in set-additional. The Configuration.json is also there. I use notepad++ for modifications. The ISO builds to just over 4GB, but the wim file is well under 4GB It used to work for a while with similar options, maybe I overlooked something?
Below is what is absolutely safe to remove with zero issues, if you remove anything other than that, you're on your own. If you fix your ISO with only these from my list, then it is something to do with your other edits like the .ps1 or registry edits. Also, I recently found that .reg files placed in the D:\Optimize-Offline-4.0.1.7\Optimize-Offline-4.0.1.7\Content\Additional\RegistryTemplates\ folder are NOT being applied. I had to add the tweaks directly to the Additional Tweaks.reg file to get them to work.

Hello. I have a problem - after using the script - Set-Additional - I can not change, set the avatar in settings / account. As well as the login screen background in settings / personalization / login screen background. This script SWITCHES OFF SOMETHING - I don't know what - maybe someone knows what is responsible for it? For now, I have a workaround - after installation, I set these things up immediately and only then run scrypt. But after using the script, I can't change anything anymore. Can someone help? This optimize-offline is awesome! I've been using it for a long time in my language - pl-PL - and everything works great. I only have the problem I described.
Some have been having issuues with the - Set-Additional switch for some time now... if you have a workaround it should point you in the right direction (when comparing your answer vs the script) to resolving the problem... ... it might be worth (for information purposes) posting your workaround here... and maybe a resolution could be found will have a look at the latest - Set-Additional to see if I can figure out the issue Lines 137 to 139 seems to be the only part that may be the cause of the issue ... (I think) you need to have a closer look at your Services.json and ScheduleTasks.json files configuration
Hello. A quick question. I want to add Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin on installed windows as I want to login MS school account. The system app was removed during O-O. I tried this powershell command but it gives error "Rejecting a request to register from Appxmanifest.xml because the manifest is not in the package root." Is there a quicker way to do than re-integrating ISO and reinstall windows?

Anybody knows what causes action center not to open? It is something from Set-Additional.ps1 but im not sure which.
