    I have Win 11 enterprise machines. They are on 21H2. Is there a reg key that can force 22H2 instead of waiting forever for it take or downloading the Microsoft tool to re-install the OS to get 22h2?

    22H2 fixes a lot of problems in my office and all the machines are MORE than capable to run (and pass the PC check with flying colors) but, getting from 21H2 to 22H2 has been a hassle.

    Just looking for a shortcut here to make it force the update. I would love a manual update that I can install but, seeing how it's a complete OS update, installing a msu won't help here.

    Unless something changed ?

    Hello.
    I use modified - by myself - with scrypts from this forum - Windows 11.
    Among other things, I am removing the defender.

    And here I have a question - how to disable memory integrity using - reg or script - in mounted instal.wim?

    After removing the defender, I cannot open the security panel and disable it.
    In win 11 - it is enabled by default.

    I have been using - since always - shadow defender - a system virtualization program - and now after installing it - without disabling memory integrity and I have bluescren restarted.
    I have to turn it off - offline. Please help. :worthy:

    in new 22h2
    some keys were changed,
    this key ->
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1
    moved here ->
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.ps1
    so you have to use both keys, for 22h1 + 22h2 systems
    Code:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\shell\RunAsTI]
    @="Run As TrustedInstaller"
    "HasLUAShield"=""
    "Position"="Bottom"
    "SeparatorBefore"=""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\shell\RunAsTI\command]
    @="c:\\windows\\NSudoLC.exe -U:T -P:E powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -File \"%1\""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\shell\RunAsTI_x64]
    @="Run As TrustedInstaller x64"
    "HasLUAShield"=""
    "Position"="Bottom"
    "SeparatorAfter"=""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\shell\RunAsTI_x64\command]
    @="\"c:\\windows\\NSudoLC x64.exe\" -U:T -P:E powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -File \"%1\""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.ps1\shell\RunAsTI]
    @="Run As TrustedInstaller"
    "HasLUAShield"=""
    "Position"="Bottom"
    "SeparatorBefore"=""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.ps1\shell\RunAsTI\command]
    @="c:\\windows\\NSudoLC.exe -U:T -P:E powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -File \"%1\""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.ps1\shell\RunAsTI_x64]
    @="Run As TrustedInstaller x64"
    "HasLUAShield"=""
    "Position"="Bottom"
    "SeparatorAfter"=""
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.ps1\shell\RunAsTI_x64\command]
    @="\"c:\\windows\\NSudoLC x64.exe\" -U:T -P:E powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -File \"%1\""

    Is it possible to activate Windows 11 Home without having to sign into MS account? I prefer local accounts. This is for a set of OEM laptops that already has Windows 11 Home pre-installed, but activation happens only when user is signed into MS account. This is for a company, not personal use, and as such, activation must be legit. I think at the moment it is done throuigh OEM UEFI/BIOS.

    I'm on 22621.819, why does the Downloads folder in my user directory always group stuff by date? It's very annoying, I have to set it to none every time...

    Hi, click on Downloads folder set it to none, click on Documents (Others folders work too) on quick access folder (PC user folders work too) , return to Downloads folder and close Explorer.
    Do the same with "C:\user_name\Downloads" and close explorer.
    I must do this every time i reinstall Windows.

    Hi guys! What are for you the most effective tweaks for Windows 11 to optimize performance (boot speed or gaming and so on...)?

    For me, for example, this registry command give an excellent boost in the boot speed:

    REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Serialize /v StartupDelayInMSec /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f >NUL


    Give me yours! ;)

    check now with my phone timer,
    different of 1 sec, both boot took about 10 sec
    with \ without this registry key,
    the result is very interesting

    I will call it faster,
    if let's say boot will took 5 sec,
    instead 10 sec …. but didn't

    OK, what Windows settings do you suggest to modify besides installing a fast ssd?
    This is a Windows tweaks thread, or I've gone wrong and I'm in a pc shop? ;)

    Thank you for yout test. We could create a collection of registry tweaks to speed up Windows (with or without a ssd) :)

    if you want to speed up window's
    - start with autoruns, remove un-necessary apps
    - un-install any uwp / msi / exe app's
    - don't use a\v that eat lot of resources
    - install only necessary software
    - format your device from time to time
    - use MS Disk cleanup once a week
    - disable un-necessary services
    - more advice to come
