Hey guys. I am running 1511/TH2 that has had all metro apps/cortana/defende removed with MSMG Toolkit and is updated through windows update. I am using Toggle Tweaker 3.0 and I am trying to restore either the legacy calculator or the new metro one. Either would be fine but every time I try to restore either of them through the tweaker it never works. When I restore the metro calc app it rebooted my computer to complete the action but calc still won't launch, it just says "You'll need a new app to open this calculator" this so I'm not sure what to try at this point. Thanks
i don't know what code MSMG Toolkit uses to remove the apps so restoring mayn't work like in your case but Legacy calc should work fine. any errors ?
Yes I even tried the legacy calc and it shows in the same directory as Toggle Tweaker and it downloads the necessary files but it never works. It says to open the calculator with win32calc but it either never works or it just re-opens toggle tweaker for some reason.
How do I know if the Edge Uninstall worked? I ran your .bat from a USB Drive, uninstalled Edge (said it was downloading the necessary files, it then said Windows Installer Service was starting up and it immediately returned me to the Enable/Disable Stuff in Windows 10 Menu), I now have a TW folder (empty) on my C: root folder, and a EDGETW compressed zip file on my USB Drive next to your .bat.
Yasser, I can't thank you enough. Shewolf, good suggestion but this is a telemetry and spyware remover in main purpose (including built-in apps that send data to MS), not a disk cleaner
@Yasser Da Silva a few bugs: 1. under :TMDisable: Code: 4497 Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowSearchToUseLocation" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f value should be set to 0 and under :TMEnable Code: 4630 Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowSearchToUseLocation" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f same value should be set to "1" instead of "0" same in line 6645 ??? 0->1 2. duplicate lines 2497 and 2499 Code: 2497 sc config dmwappushsvc start= disabled 2498 sc config diagnosticshub.standardcollector.service start= disabled 2499 sc config dmwappushsvc start= disabled probably one of them should be "DiagTrack" service instead also lines: 2519 & 2521; 2550 & 2552; 2581 &2583; 6567 & 6569 3. service name "dmwappushsvc" should be changed to "dmwappushservice" (20 occurrences) 4. after you make above change, line: Code: 4523 sc config dmwappushservice start=disabled is doing the same thing as: Code: 4604 reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dmwappushservice" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f so you only need one also lines 5139 & 5183; 5324 & 5370; similar thing when enabling service: lines 4657 & 4745; 5202 & 5255; 5385 & 5440; 6671 & 6766 Also thank you for this nice script
To confirm that Edge is uninstalled open and it will close immediately Try doing the same thing you did but form your desktop after Windows Installer Service startup another CMD window should popup and start backing up EDGE
Very good job analyzing the script I changed everything you mentioned but n°3 is not right It's the same : Thanks for taking the time to go through the code and report Bugs .
In the script you also using "sc" command and result is: Code: C:\Windows\system32>sc config dmwappushsvc start= disabled [SC] OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service. C:\Windows\system32>sc config dmwappushservice start= disabled [SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS
The 1 feature request I have is to be able to add the store to LTSB Edition. I've had my fill of hacking away to remove things in other editions. I really just want Windows with the store, but with the stability and resources of LTSB.
I get error requesting administrative privileges I suggest replace :UACPrompt echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" :UACPrompt echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" Sorry and thank you I appreciate your works
That isn't possible via script you got to save Store packages fro a Pro version using SxsExtract.vbs and then try installing them on your machine
