    There are three scripts for Windows 10 In your disable_telemetry.zip: Windows 10 Enterprise G 1904x, Windows 10 Enterprise_Education_1904x and Windows 10 LTSC 2021. I use the last one a bit modified in latest edition. My question is regarding this, latest edition.
    And one more thing. This script disables Cortana and it's good. But sorry man the alternative is not given. I would prefer to restore Windows Search service the same as in Win7. I mean SearchIndexer.exe. I don't know how to recreate old good desktop search.
    Would you please help all of us please?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't understand your question.
    The alternative to Cortana is to use a 3rd party search tool

    I mean, can you make a sample script showing how to update Windows 11 LTSC?
    Thanks

    Tried updating to KB5061087 (19045.6036) Preview ONLINE today and it added Windows Backup to the Start menu
    When I updated KB5063159 (19045.5968) Out-of-band couple of weeks ago it didn't add anything to the Start menu
    I'll have to do more tests


    Worst-case scenario is disable_telemetry keeps these SystemApps with telemetry blocked even after installing a cumulative update online --- But will add Windows Backup to the Start menu in Windows 10 and will add Click To Do, Get Started and Windows Backup to the Start menu in Windows 11

    So it's no longer as easy to update Windows 11 LTSC as it is Windows 10 LTSC. There's a difference between offline and online. Offline is only possible when using your telemetry script. Online makes it more difficult than with Windows 10 LTSC. Are there any other easier ways?

    Why more difficult? They both use "dism /add-package". The only difference is when updating online (after disabling telemetry) CUs add shortcuts to the Start Menu

    I believe it refers to a modified version of your script mentioned Here

    You'll have to ask the person who modded that script

    Hi, could you indicate in description that if we leave these lines like this, in deletion, it prevents us from doing a sysprep:

    rem == prevent SystemApps with telemetry from getting deployed ==
    set key=HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\InboxApplications
    for %%i in (
    Microsoft.Windows.AppRep.ChxApp
    Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost
    Microsoft.Windows.Search
    Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI
    MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS
    ) do (
    for /f %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /f %%i /k ^| find /i "InboxApplications"') do if not errorlevel 1 (reg delete %%a /f)
    )

    Especially because of Windows Search
    The simplest is only to delete the "path" like this:



    ) do (
    for /f %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /f %%i /k ^| find /i "InboxApplications"') do if not errorlevel 1 (reg delete %%a /v Path /f)
    )

    I'm not familiar with sysprep -- never done it



    What is the difference in outcome between this line
    Code:
    ) do (
      for /f %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /f %%i /k ^| find /i "InboxApplications"') do if not errorlevel 1 (reg delete %%a /f)
    )
    and this line?
    Code:
    ) do (
       for /f %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /f %%i /k ^| find /i "InboxApplications"') do if not errorlevel 1 (reg delete %%a /v Path /f)
    )


    If you use this line instead
    Code:
    ) do (
       for /f %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /f %%i /k ^| find /i "InboxApplications"') do if not errorlevel 1 (reg delete %%a /v Path /f)
    )
    Will sysprep work?

    Yes Sysprep works because you don't completely delete the "Search" and other in "InboxApplications" key but only its path and you also don't delete its service but only disable it for Sysprep to work

    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\WSearch" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
