    Greetings forum,

    Having used the universial media creation tool to download and "modify" W11 in order to bypass HW requirements,
    I made a test installation of an Enterprise version (x64, US-English). After activation, I tried to change the skin using OpenShell and other settings, like task bar using WinAeroTweaker.

    Version was 21H2 and I also let Microsoft apply updates as of march 20, 2022.

    It did not work. Tried invoking both utilities also as Administrator but that did not work either.

    This was a test install only and nothing crucial but it would be interesting to know if the use of theese utilities has been blocked in any way by MS.
