    I don't see it as a big problem either, it's just my wishes. For my purposes I used this script:
    Code:
    :: Working with install.wim image
    :: Mounting the install.wim image
    dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\Work\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\Work\mount\

    It would be very interesting to somehow merge the Slimdown script with part of this script.

    Is there someone actually working on that, or just wishful thinking?

    The purpose of these commands is to enable the "Store Apps", not the Store itself (which is disabled if EnableStore=0).
    And yes, you can disable the "Store Apps" again after MAS activation. Do not use the second command, but this one :
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "DisableStoreApps" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    How long can I expect slimdown to require while optimizing ltsc 2021? Laptop I'm doing it from is nothing special, I just want to make sure it hasn't hanged, been about 1 hour now. Anyone know what I could expect?
    It's been at 100% of installing kb5032189 and hasn't changed, is this a particularly big update, or is it stuck

    It could be paused. Press like space bar when the Slimdown window is selected

    Check your registry for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Your\BrowserName" and delete the offending settings, or find the same settings in the script before using it and delete or comment them out.

    Eample: what's left of mine...
    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox]
    "DisablePocket"=dword:00000001
    "DisableTelemetry"=dword:00000001
    "AppAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
    "BackgroundAppUpdate"=dword:00000000
    "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001
    "DisableFirefoxStudies"=dword:00000001
    
    Edit: After re-reading, also the "Action Center" is disabled in Slimdown10. If those were the notifications you were talking about, I don't know how to fix it after the fact, but there is a section in the script about it that should be easy to find and disable. I've not tested, but I assume this would do the trick?
    Code:
    :: REM Disable Action Center
    :: Reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell" /v "UseActionCenterExperience" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f >nul
    :: Reg add "HKLM\TK_NTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "HideSCAHealth" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f >nul
    :: Reg add "HKLM\TK_NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "DisableNotificationCenter" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f >nul
    :: Reg add "HKLM\TK_NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "NoBalloonFeatureAdvertisements" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f >nul
    :: rem Reg add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\wscsvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f >nul
    :: rem "%~dp0tools\%HostArchitecture%\NSudo.exe" -U:T -P:E -UseCurrentConsole -Wait cmd /c "del /q /f "%~dp0mount\Windows\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\Windows.UI.ActionCenter.dll"" >nul 2>&1

    Friends, somewhere in this thread I saw a path in the registry that would switch to the standard Start, but now I can't find it. Can you point me to the page with this information?

    I installed 10_v2_02 (pro) and it works great.
    Sorry for my ignorance. After installation and if I run any of these commands:
    sfc /scannow
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Windows will return to the original and without being SLIM??
