    Are you talking about BlackViolet.reg? with reset_all_theme_changes.reg
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent]
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
    
    
    Originally posted it on reddit and I did include the undo.reg script there.

    listen, I have 2K screen,
    and it filled almost all of my display ;)
    and it seems that set EnableLUA to 0, its just enough.

    2k or not. it will fit on %100 scaled screen. np. other settings are incase u open uac back. so it won't bother so much.

    Updated Pitch Black Theme.reg with Ctrl + Alt + Del support (all the pre-sign-in ui that could only go as low as dark gray before)

    Just been trying these out on Server 25075 - very nice work! Alt-themes often go a little too wild and end up creating a bit of a visually glitchy mess.
    EDIT: Now using it on my regular 11 install too!

    Guys, I think it is interesting to leave a fix and Tweak here.

    In case any of you have applied any tweaks from Windows 10 in Windows 11 that disable Notification Center.

    Just enable it again in Windows 11.
    Code:
    @echo OFF
    
    cd /d "%~dp0"
    
    setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion
    
    for /f %%f in ('dir /B /ADH-I /OG "%HomeDRIVE%\Users" ^| findstr /I "Default" 2^>nul') do (
       if exist "%HomeDRIVE%\Users\%%f\NTUSER.dat" (
           set "DU_NTUSERdat=%HomeDRIVE%\Users\%%f\NTUSER.dat"
       )
    )
    
    color 0E
    :options
    cls

    echo.
    echo.The Windows 10 Tweak that causes this issue is:

       echo.       Or use the option below.

    The Tweak is to hide the new watermark. This can be added to the Bypass Hardware Requirements Tweaks to be applied in Live Windows session. Or integrated into install.wim.
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\UnsupportedHardwareNotificationCache]
    "SV1"=dword:00000000
    "SV2"=dword:00000000
    
    Script and Reg Tweak attached.


    EDIT: Both files fixed as per abbodi1406's notes.
    Script can be started as admin or select the "Get Admin Rights" option in the menu.

    Available options:

    [1] Enable Action Center (Notification Center)
    Note: Explorer will be closed and restarted
    [2] Disable Action Center (Notification Center)
    Note: Explorer will be closed and restarted

    [3] Disable Windows 11 New Watermark Message:
    "System requirements not met. Go to Settings to learn more."
