wkeller Toggle_WindowsUpdate does not work correctly. After turning on, it should switch to value 3, but after restarting the PC it still remains at value 4 (or vice versa). Are there options to fix it? Thank you.
No, WaaSMedicSvc is not necessary for Windows Update to work. It is intentionally disabled and 100% redundant. This service is provided by Microsoft, so they can automatically re-enable disabled Windows Update. In other words: It is to force users to keep their Windows Update service in enabled state (ie. to provide forced updates).
Okay, not one to dump my problems in a forum, place all my faith in others, and stop trying to solve it myself, i beleive i have a solution for the missing Action Centre issue at least What i tried: Every other suggested "fix" for Missing Action Centre google could serve up...like rename UsrClass.dat etc What i did, and some of the results were bonkers, but i think the last user account points to where the issue really is So i had 1 account on my VM of a slimdown install. No action centre, i tried every google fix on this...nada I created a new user account, admin privileges - which let me try the oft suggested C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat reame (for obvious reasons you cant do it from an account in use) Nope Then i tried an sfc /scannow, and it found errors, but they werent logged as normal to the CBS folder, instead it found issues with nodes in the group policy because they were logged in c:\windows\logs\StorGroupPolicy.log (i wont share the boring details) Rebooted and the Action Centre was there, in the 2nd admin account Logged out and into the 1st account....still no Action Centre Created a 3rd account....no Action Centre Launched gpedit.msc Went to User Configuration -> Administrator Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar -> Remove Notifications and Access Centre (which was of course not configured) Set it to Disabled cmd prompt -> gpupdate /force logged out, logged back in...Action Centre logged into 1st account, did the same gpedit, gpupdate /force, log out, log back in and all working.... Note: toggling the policy back to not configured, gpupdate /force and logging out and back in again is safe to do as it hasnt reverted the fix. For some reasosn it seems like just that node is corrupted.....and once data, either disabled (or i suspect even enabled) is set, and then toggled back, it corrects I'd call 2 processes leading to the intended outcome a fix.... Now to solve the msixbundle sideload issue......
You should know that GPEdit policies settings are independent from registry settings that they controls. So it is possible to change registry settings (and thus enable some policy), but GPEdit settings is still unconfigured. It could be misleading, but Windows works this way. Registry Settings matters, not group policy settings. Group policy settings are only a manner to switch registry settings. From Command Prompt: Code: dism /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:"YourPackage.msixbundle" /SkipLicense appx and appxpackages also work this way. And you don't even need Windows Store for this to work.
Fresh and clean install is always recommended. Don't ask me why, it is just my long time IT experience.
in tiny10 i am unable to access shared folder on network. i tried everything , still couldnt figure out , probably some component is removed and also in tiny10 , not much documentation is there. Hope its not the issue with slim10. Installing on intel NUC (worst tiny pc`s)
just installed this today....everything was working fine until I tried to enable windows updates. it doesn't enable
Windows Update is disabled after installation but can be reenabled at any time. Because in consumer version of Windows 10, Windows Update has no longer manual mode, I had to find another solution. Windows Update is disabled after installation, but in Windows Administrative Tools there is a simple tool Toggle Windows Update. It switches Windows Update on and off but requires reboot. Just run it, and you can update your system. When update is done, run it again to disable automatic updates.
Is there any way to enable the Edge account sync? I'm trying to use the portable version of edge but keep getting error 0x800704ec (This program is blocked by group policy). I've already tried installing the normal version but it shows the same error. Thank you. I'm on ltsc 2021 edit: got it working by editing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftAccount "DisableUserAuth"=dword:0
maybe i'm miss understanding this but correct me if i'm wrong to re-enable updates click on windows admin tools and toggle windows update new window pops up and says windows updates are disabled....windows updates are now enabled...please reboot reboot pc try to update get an error saying windows update is disabled
You can check in "\Slimdown10\hotfixes\WindowsUpdate\Toggle_WindowsUpdate.cmd" if the line below exists (here it is in line 18): reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UsoSvc /v Start | find "REG_DWORD" | find "0x4" >nul 2>&1 If it's different, you might be using an older version of the script.
It should be quite universal (ie. any edition would be good). But slight modifications will be needed (especially TargetRelease registry keys). Look here and here and adapt accordingly.
