    I tested with "windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x86".
    As always.
    Perfect performance.
    Heartfelt thanks.

    Thank you for continuing to help. Unfortunately I've not been able to configure a finger print reader in a vm so all the tests were done on the actual tablet [Fujitsu Q736] which takes a lot of time.

    For each of the 3 options I confirmed:
    1. Capabilities.txt and Capabilities2.txt files modified, removing the two lines below:
      Hello.Face.18967~~~~0.0.1.0
      Hello.Face.Migration.18967~~~~0.0.1.0
    2. Synaptic fingerprint reader driver was installed
    3. Windows Biometrics service was running
    4. TPM2 bios cache was cleared
    5. Enabled Biometrics via Local Group Policy
    6. Added regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\AllowDomainPINLogon
    For all 3 options the setup fingerprint reader still doesn't open the window. Is there anything in debug.log files I should look for?

    Hi dyfi,

    There is one thing I forgot to add.

    Some services are disabled or set to manual at the end of the Windows installation via the "Win10x64.cmd" file located at the following path:

    \DATA\OEM\$OEM$\$Docs\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Since your version does not disable services, edit this file and remove lines 112 through 147:
    Run the test again—this time without changing any services—to see if any service is interfering with your process.

    Please report the results.

    Thanks for your suggestion. I will retry and can confirm line126 wbioSrvc is essential. Please confirm delete lines 112 to and including 147

    Yes, remove all lines so as not to modify any service.

    Unfortunately still no success the setup button doesn't open the window (image provided in earlier post).

    Setup - For each of the 3 options I made sure:
    Capabilities.txt and Capabilities2.txt files were modified, removing the two lines below:
    Hello.Face.18967~~~~0.0.1.0
    Hello.Face.Migration.18967~~~~0.0.1.0
    Synaptic fingerprint reader driver was installed
    TPM2 bios cache was cleared

    Observations
    For option 1&2 (services & tasks) I noted that Windows Biometrics service wbioSrvc was running
    For option 3 (trackers) I had to start Windows Biometrics service manually

    For all 3 options when setting a Hello PIN, a necessary pre-requisite to activating the fingerprint reader, the activation popup loads in the background. See attached screen shots for the successful fingerprint reader install on en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64 and I noted that the popup windows all open in the foreground.

    While I would really like to solve this as sd10 will benefit the limited tablet hardware, but if it is to complex I'll use en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64, just would like to know how to eliminate store, edge and telemetry

    That's a shame. I wish you success with it.


    It might be some code within the script itself—for instance, the part that removes telemetry—that is causing this.


    Let me clarify what you said in the last paragraph.

    Do you want to use the script to edit the `en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64` image, or just to remove the Store, Edge, and telemetry from it?

    if possible I'd like to use the script to add current updates remove the Store, Edge, and telemetry and make an iso to load onto the tablet

    (OP)
    I have edited the script again to include the "DisableTelemetry" and "RemoveSystemUWPApps" options.

    These two items are intrinsically linked to the execution of many Windows functions. So, it is worth trying to leave them unchanged.

    I set the default options as follows:

    SET "RemoveWordPad=0"
    SET "UseLaptop=1"
    SET "DisableStore=1"
    SET "RemoveClient=0"
    SET "DisableWindowsSearch=0"
    SET "DisableDefender=0"
    SET "RemoveEdge=1"
    SET "DotNet35=0"
    SET "EnableClassicCalculator=1"
    SET "RemoveWinRE=1"
    SET "EnableMediaPlayer=0"
    SET "EnableSubsystemLinux=0"
    SET "MASCode=1"
    SET "DisableTelemetry=0"
    SET "RemoveSystemUWPApps=0"

    Where:
    1 = Yes
    0 = No

    Note that only the options below will be enabled or disabled:

    SET "UseLaptop=1"
    SET "DisableStore=1"
    SET "RemoveEdge=1"
    SET "EnableClassicCalculator=1"
    SET "RemoveWinRE=1"
    SET "MASCode=1"

    However, you can make choices while the script is running and modify the code to your liking. Simply click the number corresponding to the item you wish to change and press Enter.

    I know testing can be tedious, but please give it one more try with this script.

    Unfortunately, the only way to find the cause is by running tests.

    Let me know the results.

    Best regards,

    Note: If you had already downloaded the package, please download it again, as I have made another change.

    So I've had success in enabling the fingerprint reader:). Used SD10_Default_1.70_1_debug and selected Disable Services/Tasks/Trackers, log attached if you want details. As before I made sure fingerprint reader driver was installed successfully and cleared TPM2 cache. On loading to tablet noticed wbioSrvc was not running so set it to automatic & reboot. Now I was able to setup a windows hello pin and setup a fingerprint :) Of note these setup windows were in the background but still successful.

    A couple of anomalies after reboot I keep getting a blue command window seeking to open a file .orig (I often name a file .orig if I want to run a modified version so it could be capabilities?) When I allowed .orig to open with notepad I saw it running through a script but couldn't capture. Unfortunately the result was to break all hello features :mad:, actually its seems all settings/accounts page was unresponsive. After reboot I prevented the command window from running, checked wbioSrvc but it was disabled so set it running again and hello features came back and working again. I still have to check things out and do some clean out but wanted you to know.

    Can you advise how I can prevent that blue command window popup at start? OK found Win10x64.cmd.orig in startup folder. Any issue if I just delete that?

    A major thank you for your help. You are a true ambassador for everything MDL stands for. Não tenho nem como agradecer.

    I'm glad you're managing to sort this out.

    The Win10x64.cmd file is part of the original script.

    I'm not familiar with the one with the .orig extension.

    So, you can delete it.

    I'm still going to try to create a script just for you that handles these issues. Please be patient, as I'm working on other scripts.

    Best regards!

    No problem I'll be very patient - I'm so grateful you'll continue to help with this. After checking things further the only anomaly I see is that updates weren't installed

    If the updates weren't integrated, you probably chose DEBUG mode at the start of the script.

    You should choose NORMAL mode.
