    @gdeliana Yeah, I just did the Windows 11 IOT from the official ISO with search tweak and classic tweaks disabled in the configuration.json and the default search does not come up and you cannot type anything in the Select Here To Search. It did the same thing with those classic tweaks enabled.

    As well, on the default Start menu, you can't click and type in the Select Here To Search as well to find apps.

    Edit: I tested the stock ISO without OO done and the default start menu search and search icon work fine.

    Using en-us_windows_11_iot_enterprise_x64_dvd_3ecc0e33.iso for both OO and without OO.

    I'm making an ISO with an OO download from the last commit that worked. I believe it was working still after the Add Server commit. I'll let you know.

    I'm so sorry. I ran the script with all the removal switches set as "None", and now Search Icon is working. So on the latest build of 22000 is something I'm removing. I'm trying to narrow it down now. :(

    Edit: It was something in my services Advanced list. If I choose "None", then disable services with Autoruns, I'm fine. But I can't narrow it down to what it was actually. :(

    It's OK, there were bugs anyway from my side that i needed to correct. However, when you apply the new tweaks, the search icon disappears by default on 22000, you can just switch it on manually, but search works perfectly, is just that it doesn't show there on the taskbar. This amazingly doesn't happen on insider builds 225xx?!!

    I
    I redid my Advanced Services and everything is fine now.

    BTW, if you remove the wi-fi or ethernet packages with the script, it breaks the ethernet connection, but only in VMWare. You can remove them for a running O/S outside of VMWare.

    Does the latest fork of OO by gdeliana work with the latest Windows 10 Enterprise 2021?

    Yes, it does. Do you want the lists I use for Windows 11 IOT Enterprise, the latest ISO.

    @gdeliana When you use the populateLists.bat does it save the services you choose to the ServicesAdvanced.json

    I think it only saves it to the ServicesList.json and when I use "Services": "List", in the Configuration.json the script errors out. :(

    If I download OO from your main branch, no driver errors. I just tested it.

    @gdeliana

    Edit: I figured out what the issue is. It's the name of the folders.

    If I change the folder names from D:\Optimize-Offline-4.0.1.9-gdeliana-4.1\Optimize-Offline-4.0.1.9-gdeliana-4.1\ to say D:\Optimize-Offline\Optimize\ adding the drivers works just fine.

    Also, the default names of the main branch work okay as well.

    You might want to change the naming scheme of the releases to fix this.

    If anyone is using the Add Drivers switch, I recommend downloading OO from the main branch.

    I never figured out which services were causing the issue. But on VMWare if I removed the wi-fi and ethernet packages, VMWare had no internet connection. On a live install of Windows, it's fine.

    And here attached is my working Advanced Services list that the Search Icon is fine.

    DormantOneDrive - Disables the startup installation of Onedrive, but allows you to manually install by using the dormant physical setup file

    This wording still needs work. So does True mean it doesn't get installed? Or is that False? I'm not trying to be overly negative just being honest.

    Tks. I checked this file with the one you provided in #1, seems like Udk User Service (UdkUserSvc) is what causing the problem with search icon

    Edit: Also, I think it would be better to remove classic explorer ribbon in additional tweaks since it already included in selective registry tweaks

    I see what you mean. I'll propose an even clearer description.

    I figured it out. It only copies the services with the existing flags, I need to change, for example, 3 to 4 to set them as disabled. I thought it set them to disabled if you saved it in the list.

    I modified my Advanced Services list. More services disabled, for a lean Windows 11. Tested as working in VMWare. :)

    Uploaded new list, even MOR services disabled, still working fine. :)

    New list soon, still testing.

    If you need to find devices and other PCs on your network, delete the Distributed Link Tracking Client tweak.

    Also, Bluetooth and Wi-fi are broken. Delete those as well if you need them.
