Gigabyte GA-H55M-D2H motherboard with Gigabyte GeForce GT 740 video card. The video driver is downloaded from the official page. NVIDIA Control Panel (settings) does not work. "this app has been blocked by your system administrator" How can I fix this? Please help.
Guys anyone receiving this error? I'm using a Gold MS iso, even downloaded a second one still receiving same, what is this likely related to?
Try this command from Command Prompt: Code: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "DisableStoreApps" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f and if it doesn't work, try to build ISO image with set EnableStore=1 option, because some additional libraries (eg. Microsoft UI Xaml, Microsoft .NET Native) may be needed.
Disclaimer: I'm not a user of this script. Really, if you use a script for the die-hards who won't ever use Edge, Store etc. and you have to re-enable most of these features afterwards, it's clearly not well suited for you. In this case, look for a more modular tool, like MSMG or hand-crafted scripts.
Hail, Respecting everyone's opinions, I'd like to emphasize that the primary goal of the Slimdown script is to transform Windows 10 into a classic/legacy system reminiscent of Windows 7 by eliminating telemetry and UWP bloatware. Reintroducing modern apps would contradict this purpose. If anyone encounters issues, why not tailor the customization accordingly or consider creating a personalized OS using tools like MSMG Toolkit (recommended) or NTLite. Best Regards
FWIW My view is that the mission of this (ambitious) project is to achieve maximum privacy under Windows with almost no exceptions, that alone doesn’t seem to me like a small task. The byproduct of the above is also the reduction of what can be described as bloatware. As far as I'm concerned it does everything I've always done with any Windows OS and that I got tired of continuing to do because I got too old for those bs. In other words, this script is just perfect for my needs, at least until now. Cheers P. S.: I may have misinterpreted the OP's intentions, but I would even name it in a more b*d*ss way...
It is precisely for this and similar "conveniences" that I left Windows modified by the "slim" script.
Almost impossible to do, because Windows 10 is not like Windows 7 where telemetry was artificially added and was equally easy to remove. Windows 10 and 11 are built on bloatware/telemetry and there will never be any easy way to switch it off without sacrificing something. People who want 100% Windows 10/11 functionality and 100% de-bloated, privacy focused OS in the same time, are like people who believe in cheap slimming teas.
Thank you for your appreciated reply. Please note that I guess the issue is somehow related to a missing installation of a language pack and I've just solved it with a workaround. Since I always take a snapshot of the current installation before making substantial changes, I restored a previous image and proceeded differently compared to the first time. I want the system language in English, but the date and time formats and keyboard layout in my first language (and I do not want to install a language pack for that). At first I had heavily modified the registry and Windows believed that I had installed a language pack that in reality wasn't installed at all, and I think that the issue consisted in some way of this because it couldn't be restored even using the script provided by the OP to enable/disable Windows Update. My workaround consisted of having minimally modified the registry just enough to obtain the desired formats and layout and now everything works as before. JFYI I added only the values of the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International" key to the registry and added a layout entry in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload" key renaming it as "1" instead of "3". Anyway, please note that I cannot test the content of your appreciated reply just because I already deleted the snapshot of the previous image containing that error.
If I understood your question correctly, I guess it seems related to OneDrive (which I've never used). If so, in "Slimdown10.cmd" there is the following entry :: Enable One Drive :: 0 - disable :: 1 - enable set EnableOneDrive=0 where you can make your choice (writing 1, and saving).
