    Thanks for the reply mate.

    One more question to everyone around here, has this script been updated to support the removal of Cortana/Search + Defender from build 1607?

    I've a problem and need some help guys. :confused:

    I was using store and updating both Store and Share.it apps,
    in the same time used this tool and uninstalled some apps:
    Get Office, Skype Preview, Money, News and Office Sway.

    Then suddenly store app was closed and don't open any more !!

    I checked and both of them were greyed.

    and it ended with an error,

    I don't know if the batch was fully tested on build b1607, if you're using the Anniversary Edition and used the batch, that might be the problem. Probably the solution is checking what the batch changed, and compare against the original values in the Windows release you're currently using.

    I think all "tweaks" should be re-tested after every major release of Windows 10 to make sure they still work and that they don't do more harm than good. The batch itself should also check which build it's running on ("ver" command should be enough) and show compatible tweaks only.

    6. Manage Updates > 1. Clean Windows Update Junk

    This option doesnt work anymore with the anniversary update. I get a continuous loop of error messages that says NET HELPMSG 3521

    UPDATE : This option doesnt work only if one has upgraded to the anniversary update. If performed on machine that has been cleaned installed with the Anniversary Update ISO then it works as usual

    Anniversary Edition - unwanted upgrade

    I have a lengthy procedure (written in fairly terse style, short on "why" and intended only for my own use prior to putting this up here) which I use to destroy all the odious cruft, money-hungry apps, and spy apparatus that infests Win10, and then trim and tweak the machine to my own individual satisfaction.

    Included is, of course, Toggle Tweaker (ver 3.5 as of this posting), in particular Step 12 "Goto LTSB" which I employ to block "upgrades."

    Lately several of my 10586-class machines upgraded anyway, but not all of them. Randomly, so far as I have been able to determine at this time.

    In the hopes of perhaps getting to the bottom of things, I'm going to past the entire procedure below. Perhaps there's a clue or two there that someone might see, which could serve to better block the upgrade. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I'm failing to do something right. I do not know. Which is why I'm including the whole thing.

    Yasser Da Silva cannot be thanked enough, by the way, and I can only hope that perhaps there might be a useful nugget or two in what follows, by way of a pitiful effort in paying back something to the community.

    Following the upgrades, much of what appears below had to be redone, from scratch, but not all of it. What they erased and replaced with their own corporate rubbish was a bit odd, a bit on the spotty side, and I do not fully understand the sense of it.

    Below, my procedure:

    Stardock Start10

    Revo existing AV program

    Reset folder view options including "date created"

    Install Unlocker & TakeOwnership

    Taskbar properties

    Classic Personalize

    Screensaver & power settings

    Defender to do not send

    Copy Win10 folder to desktop

    Desktop icons include & view small icons

    Computer, properties, advanced settings, best performance (Leave drop shadows, smooth screen fonts, view thumbnails

    systeminfo verify 10586

    Windows Update

    ToggleTweaker.bat 12 Goto LTSB to kill Cortana (says it kills Edge [ver3.5], but it does not, or at least not fully).

    /////The following manual destructive efforts may require Unlocker, or running TakeOwnership, or sometimes both, and sometimes require a reboot afterwards to utterly erase and destroy the listed bulls**t files.
    \\\\\

    IF CORTANA NOT DEAD C:\Windows\SystemApps\Cortana\SearchUI.exe kill

    Manual Directory Pass Destroy C:\Windows\SystemApps\ Unlocker killkillkill one at a time, or TakeOwnership of the whole f***ing folder first, followed by group destruction/deletion, starting with Cortana, which takes the longest LEAVE SHELLEXPERIENCEHOST INTACT
