I can't read the language, but that looks like the "Windows Backup" app, and that would be part of the "Windows Feature Experience Pack". The only way to remove it is nuke the whole Experience Pack, and I do not know what all that includes, but I nuke it with no ill effects by running this command in Admin Powershell: Use at your own risk: Nukes entire Windows Feature Experience Pack: Code: dism /online /get-packages | Select-String "UserExperience" | ForEach-Object { $_ -match 'Package Identity : (.+)$' | Out-Null; $matches[1] } | ForEach-Object { Remove-WindowsPackage -Online -PackageName $_ }
I wasn't sure I had understood the request correctly, but since after running Slimdown10 there is no trace of that on my PC, now I guess the request had nothing to do with this script. Anyway, thank you the same from me too.
Hello, is there a script like this that does the same thing, but with Windows 11? Slimdown11, or Other?
I just remembered an important detail which I had noticed some time before when I had actually installed a language pack: after installing the second language pack then Windows Update re-applies a cumulative update. As mentioned before, not wanting to install an entire language pack just to set the date and time formats, in the reported case the language pack had not been installed, but in the registry that I heavily modified there was opposite information, which probably gave rise to the Windows Update issue of the greyed out button of "Check for updates". Just for the sake of completeness.
How to enable Network Discovery and share files on LAN? I tried connecting two PCs with cable but they do not seem to connect to each other.
Not sure, but I connect my three PCs across my LAN with no problem, (with network discovery off even before Slimdown10). However, I use manually assigned IP addresses, not DHCP from the router. IE: Router = 192.168.1.1, PC#1 = 192.168.1.10, PC#2 = 192.168.1.20, etc. so I can open specific ports to specific PC for bittorrent, games, etc. without doing the wide open "DMZ" thing. Then I have a shortcut on my main desktop pointing to my second/backup PC (with shared drives) with a target like so: Target = "\\192.168.1.20" so I can just double click and open it just like any drive on my actual PC.
I do not have a router so I use direct connection. On a normal windows installation both can see each other and transfer files without any problem.
Thats where a router comes in.. You must use one to better protect yourself and create a LAN. Are you atleast using a switch? If not and you're using two different ports in your CTS/modem thats why they cant see eachother
Why do I need to protect them? They are not connected to Internet. As I said, they are connected to each other and only to each other.
Is the cable a crossover cable or do the endpoints support auto-crossover? Do both endpoints get an APIPA address (169.254.x.x) or a manually set one? Can they ping each other?
It is a commonly sold ethernet cable, however both PC should support auto crossover. I do not know if related, but my PC can not connect to the ftp server my phone set up after I reinstalled OS using Slimdown10. It used to connect without problem.
And the other question? Using which FTP client? If MS removes IE they might also remove FTP folder capability from Explorer (which uses IE engine aka Trident).
The other question is I do not know since currently the other PC is down. As for the ftp client I use Xftp.
Yes, I can confirm that. After taking a quick look inside Slimdown script I can say that it itself prevents sharing tasks by design. I guess you should modify the script before running it because once Windows has been installed I find it hard to restore.
No, you wrote you're using a direct connection which for me means you're just using a cable straight to internet. Set IP-adress and same subnete mask, gateway and stuff like that and try again
I do not know why some of you like to treat this as something extremely complicated that requires multiple hoops to achieve. It should be as simple as below: Connect two PCs with a normal ethernet cable Share a folder and give permissions Enable file sharing and maybe Network Discovery Type the computer name and folder name on the other PC and I should see the shared folder. It works before, always, without any problem, between any two computers I have. Now it stopped working, along with the ftp thing, after I used Slimdown to reinstall OS on my new computer. And I want to solve it.
