Windows 10 Tweaks & Fixes

This man said it best. Anyway people need to be cool, make sure you have working backups, even if tweak does not work but does not seem to effect anything now. In the future after you have long since forgotten about it, things start acting alittle strange, guess what it is, yup, even if it does not work, does not seem to effect anything, put backup on to be safe knowing that nothing was introduced into or removed from registry, just my 2 cent

The new File Explorer App is pretty nice, though not exactly easy to locate to use. Forgive me if this was already mentioned:

Create a new shortcut on your desktop
For target location, paste:

• explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515_cw5n1h2txyewy!App

Name it whatever you want.

The link to disable Cortana and Keep the search functionality is dead.

Any link to a method which works on the latest Windows 10 (1703)?

Thank You.

Why not gpedit.msc Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Search\Allow Cortana>Disabled? (then restart or run gpupdate.exe /force)

 

Maybe this?

Code:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowCortana" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

 

Which of those will keep the Start Menu fully functional (With Search)?

Thank You.

I have searched but I do not understand how to do it, if someone can help me

Thanks so much

I add these to the offline 1703 install.wim's software registry hive which basically turns Windows Search into LTSB/Windows Server 2016 search:

:Will Disable Cortana and Location Use
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowCortana" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowCortanaAboveLock" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowSearchToUseLocation" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

::Changes Search Bar into Magnifying Glass Icon
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /v "SearchboxTaskbarMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

 

I have apply various tweak found on this thread, but now the notifyes on the notifications center not work anymore. How I re-enable notifications?

 

Code:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings" /v "NOC_GLOBAL_SETTING_TOASTS_ENABLED" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessNotifications" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications" /v "NoToastApplicationNotification" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "DisableNotificationCenter" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WpnUserService" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
sc config dmwappushservice start= auto
sc config WpnService start= auto
sc config wscsvc start= auto
net start dmwappushservice
net start wscsvc
net start WpnService
taskkill /im explorer.exe /f & explorer.exe
