    The registry tweaks if you modify them manually then gpedit.msc does not show the parameter changes because you need another path to update and read the registry and then they will show up on the gpo policy as changed.

    Yes, I know both methods work, but if someone wants to change it via GPO, they won't see the changed registry settings that were changed manually.
    The problem is that the GPO does not update the changed settings that were added manually in policy.

    Tested it in Virtualbox.
    The fact that operation system does not respect user choice and revert gpedit.msc (!) policy changes (e.g. disable Defender) is wild.

    Is there really no way to stop running Windows Defender in background? It slows down virtual machine.
    So far managed to remove it by mounting WIM and deleting folders manually. This is wild, Windows Defender in W11 quarantine group policy edits and registry edits. basically turned into malware itself

    After taking ownership and removing WD files from Program Files and winsxs, sfc /scannow no more can be completed. So WD cannot be restored, but if something else breaks and will required sfc /scannow... so not a perfect solution, and WD will probably return with first cumulative update anyway.

    I use this application Control Defender Switch 2.01 to deactivate it and in my opinion it works, then in group policies I also deactivate real-time protection

    easiest way is to boot in safe mode. start autoruns type defender and uncheck everything defender apart from firewall and policyagent , also type security and uncheck wscsvc and securityhealthservice

    thanks. Defender control worked in realtime and disables antivirus completely (but cannot enable it back, lol). Still, it is closed source software, and I got used to group politics edits. Would be more awesome to do this manually somehow without 3rd party tools no matter how effective they are. But maybe, it's just me who wants it

    Releasing another batch file. Needs some refining but it's good enough to post.

    This one will list and make a .txt on the desktop of your packages, features, and capabilities. Then you are presented with the option to remove them.
    Alternatively, if you know by memory what you want to remove you can jump right in to that.
    Currently only for online images.

    Most. Most are network drivers. Make sure you have spare net drivers on hand if you remove them all instead of finding what you are using. Check my (notes) in the code block for other info.

    Here's a fun one to include in your batch files or what-have-you.

    setlocal
    del /q /f "%~n0.exe" >nul 2>nul
    :: find csc.exe
    set "csc="
    for /r "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\" %%# in ("*csc.exe") do  set "csc=%%#"
    
    if not exist "%csc%" (
       echo no .net framework installed
       exit /b 10
    )
    
    if not exist "%~n0.exe" (
       call %csc% /nologo /warn:0 /out:"%~n0.exe" "%~dpsfnx0" || (
          exit /b %errorlevel%

    This will generate a .exe file that you can simply call to mess with a window in the future. Or, you can have your batch delete the exe after it has been used.
    OR..........

    Here is one such usage for a help file I made for Hashcat that needs a maximized window to read effectively. It creates windowMode.bat, runs it, uses the exe, then deletes both files.
    Code:
    @echo off
    pushd "~dp0"
    title ~~~~~ HashCat Password Recovery ~~~~~
    
    :hcb
    call:banner
    choice /T 5 /C yn /D n /N /M "Open help? [y/n]:"
    if '%errorlevel%' EQU '1' (
    start cmd /k help.bat
    ........yes was pressed........
    
    @echo   off
    pushd "%cd%"
    title ~~~~~ Hashcat Help ~~~~~
    call:windmode
    
    :setup
    ::(creates windowMode.exe, deletes bat/exe)
    call windowMode.bat -title "~~~~~ Hashcat Help ~~~~~" -mode maximized
    timeout 2 /nobreak > nul
    del windowMode.bat
    del windowMode.exe
    cls
    set help=
    goto start
    
    (rest of help file is here)
