UPDATE: I read that "The BFE service controls the operation of the Windows Filtering Platform. This service is essential for the operation of many firewall products" -- not just Windows Firewall Can't download torrents too
But not the keys whoses lines point to, as some others Spoiler Reg delete HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\edgeupdate" /f reg delete HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\edgeupdatem" /f But yes the services are gone. The purpose final of script
Oki I think I understand now because my Windows LTSC 2021 already had M$ Edge installed so I first have to install it in Sysprep to uninstall it cleanly then create its image .wim to finally run the script on mounting the hives offline
the (disable_telemetry) script should be done OFFLINE -- before you install Windows. Otherwise it won't work as intended. Some registry keys can only be modified offline.
IDK Try removing these entries Code: rem == disable windows store == reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "5" /f reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "RemoveWindowsStore" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f And ask in this thread [GUIDE] Add Store to Windows 10 EnterpriseS SKU (LTSB/LTSC)
Notice: I am going to have to discontinue some disable_telemetry scripts -- namely Windows 11 226x1 and Windows Server It's just too much already to maintain Personaly I don't use Windows Server anymore And I just install Windows 11 from time to time to see what's new and try it out
