    I only test on a real machine once all is correct in a vm first.

    I am sure that we will solve the problem with this icon. Most likely it is hidden in the Group Policy or in the corresponding registry section. I am more interested in the question: what parameter in Integrator version 10.10.1 Slim creates this problem, so that I can fix it.

    Enter the following command and press Enter to execute it.
    explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
    Open the "Command Prompt" (the easiest way is through the search) or the "Run" snap–in (by pressing the right mouse button on the "Start" item and selecting the appropriate menu item or the "Win+R" key).

    Good morning!

    I'm editing the Windows 10 script.

    When I'm done I'll try to check it.

    Win 11 reminds me of Win 8 just a s**te OS. MS keeps tweaking 11 though they still cant get it right! It's a quite a way off yet before I switch from 10 which is very robust for my purposes!!

    How can I express this speech more politely?

    My first acquaintance with Windows began with the Windows 3.1 system. Quite a few years have passed, but nothing has changed in the users' assessment of the OS. As before, they consider each subsequent version of Windows worse than the previous one. Personally, I like Windows 11 and it suits me quite well. Apparently, we need to wait for the release of Windows 12 for people to finally start praising Windows 11. IMHO

    Hopefully with Win 12 MS will get this right straight outta the box!

    You are correct, unpinning explorer then repinning fixes this!

    Personally, this method did not help me. But the next day this arrow appeared by itself. I had already calmed down, but the next day this arrow disappeared just as unexpectedly as it appeared. In principle, this problem, personally, does not bother me too much. I will wait, perhaps SunLion will take this point into account in its next work.

    I've been looking into it and I believe it happens like this:

    1 - If there are installed apps that have not been allowed to appear on the taskbar, then the hidden app icon appears

    2 - If all installed apps have been allowed to appear on the taskbar, then the hidden icon does not appear.

    See the attached images as an example

    Only happens in Win 11 so I reckon we can live with this.

    Yes, yes, it is exactly as you write. I didn't think of that, everything works fine - thank you very much !!!!

    I find your Integrator very convenient and well optimized for working with the image. It may not be perfect yet, but it is very close to it ...

    Yes IMHO we all have a right to ours too!! MS made many blunders when creating 11 hence my take on this OS, hats off to the Peeps like SunLion that tweak it to our liking not only reducing the fat but making it more user friendly. For me 11 is not quite there yet!! It took me three years to accept & tweak 10 to my liking.

    Well, of course, it depends on the level of training and experience of the user. Personally, it takes me about an hour to create a new build (run all the scripts and programs I need for the image). Another couple of minutes to create the .iso image and about five or six minutes to install it. Installing all the programs I need to run and configuring them takes another hour or so. That's it, and the system is ready to go ...

    For a big expert like you, by now you should understand whether the problem you mention is from the script or from Windows 11.
    I'm not an expert like you but I know that the easiest way is to try with an unmodified Windows 11.
    If the problem is not there with the original one, then it is in the script (which I doubt).
    Аnd share with us.

    Look Buddy you appear to totally misinterpret my post every time! Maybe it's your Russian language barrier perhaps?? I have been messin & hacking windows since 95 which was an ordinary OS 98 was slightly better, W2K was ok, XP was bomb! Seven was great!
    Vista & 8 were crap offerings. Windows 10 way way better than you perceive 11 to be! As I said opinions are like backsides everyone has one aye!!
    Btw without imaging an OS like many do! I can perform a conventional unattended silent install with all required third party apps & programs happening with a fully functioning working desktop under thirty minutes so I have NFI what you do nor do I care!!
