Hello When Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA is set to 0, no Metro app can be launched. However "Immersive Control Panel" can be still launched by charm <WinKey+C> selecting <Settings> and selecting <Change PC Settings>. But it can't be launched via PowerShell: Code: start-metroapp microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel or Code: start-metroapp windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy!microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel How can this be? How launching by charm bar avoid LUA/UAC check? Couild it be avoided for other Metro apps too? Or is there any method for launching "Immersive Control Panel" (with LUA/UAC disabled) by PowerShell too? Thanks for reply... Q2: Could this (picture below) be corrected nicely? Of course "Server" subkey can be artifically created, but that "Microsoft.Media.PlayReadyClient_2.3.1678.0_x64 and x32" will still not be in the listing probably...
No they are not they are built-in packages just like windows defender, media player, NetFx... etc. to remove them, you have to modify/hack some registry values, or modify the Edition .mum file to unlock/un-hide them so it can be removed e.g. here is the Default packages that can be removed with dism (yes they will be removed completely if you just disable them): Code: Image Version:

unlocking I used to unlock hidden packages with WinToolkit but it seems there's a better way to do it... Would you mind sharing your unlocking method? And how can you let that list appear with Dism? I use /get-packages but it's not the same... Thanx a lot, Fil

Code: WimTweak.exe /n /p <WimMountPath> /l 3) Use the following command to UnHide the selected package in the WIM Image Code: WimTweak.exe /n /p <WimMountPath> /c <PackageName> 4) Use the following command to Remove the selected package from the WIM Image Code: DISM.exe /Image:<WimMountPath> /Remove-Package /PackageName:<PackageName> 5) Save & Un-Mount the WIM Image Note: You can also use WimTweak.exe to do both UnHide and Removal of the selected package, using the following command Code: WimTweak.exe /n /p <WimMountPath> /c <PackageName> /r If you use this, then you don't need to use the 4th step in the above guide. Then, when you specify the Package Name to be UnHidden, You just specify the part of the Package Name, so that all the corresponding Package Name with the same name will get Unhidden and When you specify the Package Name to be removed, it's the same as above but if you using the DISM Method to remove the Packages then you need to specify the whole package name. and if you specify the base package name, then the dism will remove the base package name along with the corresponding language pack package and the associated packages to..
