    Hello! Stupid question..or not.. Does anyone know why my wallpapers changes faster than I set it in Persoanlization > Background? I set it to change every 30 minutes but it changes every minute or so. I have and AMD Ryzen 7 laptop, so I guess it has to do something with the chipset, or the software, because on my other laptop, Intel chipset, it changes every 30 minutes, or however I set it. So, what could it be?

    Does anybody know a way to disable/hide the profile button. I don't use profiles and even with everything in gpo related to profiles disabled this button is still there.

    Hi. I've been using your script for a long time with great success. This 5.0 last version somehow breaks the functionality of some programs and installers in last windows 11 22621.1485
    Some programs are taking minutes to open and then freeze and some are not opening at all. It's creating a lag in the system, very wierd. Not even the Nvidia or AMD control panel are working. And even if using reverse script, the problem remains in the system. I thought maybe it's because of the new service that you put in the script (wscsvc) which is also creating an annoying notification. This service was not killed in earlier versions. I have modified the script not to kill this service but the problem is still there even without it.
    I have tested on two different systems, one PC and one laptop, both with clean install of Windows.
    Latest version that I have and it's working without problems it's AntiDefender 2.0

    I think adding an append option
    like grabbing a folder into .wim file,
    and it will add this folder
    this is a bit challenging, any ideas?
    All other option, added, and work just fine

    Edit.
    Done.

    I have exactly the same issue, though I didn't make use of the script. Besides wscsvc which didn't let me, I manually disabled Sense, WdBoot, WdFilter, WdNisDrv, WdNisSvc, and WinDefend in safe mode, and on the next reboot MsMpEng process wasn't running any more, and "Turn Off Microsoft Defender Antivirus" via Group Policy wouldn't revert back to disabled. But executable files were extremely slow to open - their background process would initiate instantly, but it would take a long time to move to the Apps section in the Task Manager, and show up on screen. The system was generally crawling after the change. I had to reverse that by using a system restore point.

    So my next project is to add another set of option
    Folder - image service - remove ... & Add all available options
    Using PowerShell commands & gui

    Credit for idea for MDL052020 \ (\_/)^(\_/)
    from his Script, Remove Windows Apps / Features / Capabilities / Packages
    using built-in GUI, which is a very good idea.
    and now in the menu, it's an awesome idea

    Added ## Auto Load & Un-Load Registry hives
    Added ## New Hive Menu items, Force Load/Unload Hives
    Added ## New Remove Menu Using API / DEEP method
    Improve Error handling, less error, Some bug fixes
    Remove Inbox Apps by Built-In SafeList (From aveyo)
    v2 attached using less safe list for inbox apps
    Deep operations should use with care
    ...

    Added ## New Extract option
    Code:
    where {$_ -match 'c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515|1527c705-839a-4832-9118-54d4Bd6a0c89|E2A4F912-2574-4A75-9BB0-0D023378592B|F46D4000-FD22-4DB4-AC8E-4E1DDDE828FE|AADBrokerPlugin|BioEnrollment|ECApp|LockApp|MicrosoftEdge|Win32WebViewHost|AppRep.ChxApp|AssignedAccessLockApp|CallingShellApp|CapturePicker|ContentDeliveryManager|NarratorQuickStart|ParentalControls|PeopleExperienceHost|NcsiUwpApp|XboxGameCallableUI|XgpuEjectDialog|CbsPreview'} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | OGV -PassThru -Title 'Select Windows Packages to Remove')
    
    Known bugs

    if the hive is loaded --> [after successful mount operation]
    Using Any Remove Option [Non-deep] is not available
    So you must Un-Load the hive via the menu !!
    ** FIXED **

    It's affect capture too
    So to capture folder later
    Force un-load registery

    If the hive is not loaded
    Using Any Remove Option [deep] is not available
    So you must Load the hive via the menu !!
    ** Will return Error, manual Re-Load Hive is needed **

    I have two GPUs in my laptop - Intel and nVIDIA - with automatic switching (Optimus). Is there a way to force the new Media Player app to use the nVIDIA GPU for playing videos? I can do it for the Films and TV app but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it for the new Media Player app.
