    This mostly happened when running a build created from the UUP system, the 22563 and up builds had a problem that appx weren't distributed by the standard UUP system so they weren't available after installing windows.

    Starting an elevated cmd and running:
    Code:
    wsreset -l
    made the settings app available again.

    Just:
    Code:
    slmgr -ipk <key>
    works fine.

    This is only for switching licenses between all Business ISO SKUs and switching between home <> homesinglelanguage.

    Those tiny screens are hard to read at all.

    I think i used the wrong command, it should be:
    Code:
    wsreset -i

    I apologize @Enthousiast I shouldnt have cropped the photo ! I did the elevated cmd thing again with the code you just posted, and no dice. i *did* get a different result this time though; no error about "ms store needs an app to open" or whatever


    (the goddamn image is still screwed up, and im unclear as to why) anyway the error is
    ms-settings: the app didnt start.

    the second error (the one not present , this time around ) is
    you need an app to open this ms-store-link


    edit, sorry im brainless today


    @Enthousiast the change pk thing worked! thank you ! (and all!) i still cannot access the Settings menu(despite trying 5-6 different ways) but that is more of a curiosity/minor inconvenience at this point. at some future time ill want to install updates, but i reckon there are other ways to do so

    Hello, every time I connect a controller via the Xinput API I have this window that opens since the latest versions of Windows 11, do you know if we can prevent gamebar from opening when you plug in a controller ? However, I disabled and removed the option with MSMG.

    Thanks.

    I copy-pasted from my reddit post, probably formatting got screwed / localization issue, so I made an edit to work only via powershell (them quotes).

    Thanks for this update(d) script ... worked nicely for me ,- my pet hate = MS store :p
    have used a few of other items from your 'script repo" ....thanks

    Question:
    is there a way to STOP INSTALLATION of JUST THIS ONE PARTICULAR UPDATE in Win11 for Enterprise (22H2) version?

    eg: (KB5015818) - keeps failing with various different error code (over 5 times trying to install - see file attached)

    eg: or "Lenovo - Extension" ((don't know what this 'extension really does)) not much docomo 'ation

    eg : Realtek Camera + software = dont even want to use "camera" - thus disabled in Control Panel

    My guess: They don't deem it necessary anymore because of their KIR (Known Issue Rollback) system. This could backfire some day.
