    Hey, no -- I'm sorry: I manually disable all these Experience/Processes -- I just observed the Start Menu toggle script would be pretty easy to mod, and replace the process directory paths for anything you wanted a toggle script for. The manual method is pretty simple and once I find I can do without particular 'Experiences' I just uninstall them... For good! Literally... GOOD!

    Tested 2xH2_Creator_15.6. version 26x00.8037. I am having issues using Office Profession Plus LTSC 2024 with Microsoft exchange for setting up emails. I keep getting this error "A required authentication broker is missing". I think it is related to this missing system app Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin.
    Is there a way to install this missing app or modify the script to include it during install.
    Thanks

    I will check...

    You can edit the script to remove "Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin" in the code below:

    Line 1709
    and line 1726
    Note: Also remove the comma, leaving only one between the apps.

    Save the script and test it to see if it works.

    Hey guys, has anyone seen an activation package for Windows 11 versions 26000–26200 to version 28000 ?

    I’ve read online that one exists, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

    If you mean Enablement package, then no. 28000 is a complete new base build.

    Hmm, are you serious? Do you really think Microsoft will abandon its current architecture and switch to a completely new kernel written from scratch? Personally, I find that hard to believe. Because so far, there’s absolutely no sign that they seriously want to rewrite their kernel. So, most likely, they’ll just release an update to move from 25H2 to 26H2. IMHO

    Enablement packes are just reconfiguring Product Policies and change the version number in the registry. This only works inside the same kernel revision or branch. For example, 26100 and 26200 are both based on 26100.1 kernel and are thus switchable via EP.

    28000 is Bromine branch. It is a new kernel revision 28000.1 and you need to do a full build upgrade via ISO or WU.

    (Canary 28020 is already an even newer revision, based on 28000.2)

    Got it, thanks. I was really hoping to update it. I guess it wasn't meant to be.
    But I'm still going to try to find a way to make the impossible happen ...

    Modded the script as described. The AAD Plugin still failed to be included in the C:\Windows\SystemApps\ folder. I pulled the app out of the install wim and installed it manually.
    Otherwise the script worked for me.
    During research for my Outllook issues, I discovered that there are 2 apps related to Outlook authentication with Microsoft and 365 exchanges.
    One is AAD Broker plugin for ADAL and Office 365 Business which was my issue and the other is Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy for
    LIVE ID for Office 365.

    Regarding Outlook, you can check and remove the Apps.exe and RemoveOutlook.exe files from the folder "2xH2_Creator_15.6\Addons\Install\Install".

    Perhaps this will help you...

    Actually, the script removes most apps that aren't used by the majority of users. But there are some users, like you, who need some of these apps. In that case, it's necessary to adjust the script to your needs.

    I hope you understand this.

    Best regards

    Please download the uupdump ISO image, as recommended, to obtain version 28000.1.

    Run the _PreDownloadAllUpdates.cmd script as administrator to download the necessary updates before running the main script.

    Only then can you run the 26H1_Creator_1.6_Start_Nsudo.cmd script.

    However, remember that in this case, the LOG file will not be created automatically.

    When the process is complete and prompts you to press a key to exit, you should edit/select all/copy and then select and paste into a text file. Save it as LOG.txt.

    Note that there is a _HowTo.txt file inside the main folder. Please read it carefully before doing anything.

    Good luck.
