Windows 11 Tweaks, Fixes and Modifications [Overview]

It seems that winre has become a must-have in 24H2.

 

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{F874310E-B6B7-47DC-BC84-B9E6B38F5903}]

After days of researching and trying different things, I was able to restore Dolby AC-3 codec to the native Media Player in 24H2.

1. Refer to this post and download the Base Dolby package and updated Dolby Package (Note that there is an error in the script for the base package; refer to this post for the fix).
2. After installing those packages, go to MSMG Toolkit download page -> Packs -> Apps -> W10 -> and download Microsoft.DolbyAudioExtensions_1.0.61521.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx

Code:

DISM /online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:Microsoft.DolbyAudioExtensions_1.0.61521.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx /SkipLicense

I know you can install the LAVFilters and other media players like VLC to play AC3 files, but I wanted a way to get it back into the native Media Player.

If anyone knows a better way to restore the Dolby and AC-3 codecs, please share...

EDIT: ...a better method here, thanks to @pm67310 .

 

The second item in the menu.

 

There is only one option on right click, says `go to settings`

 

I have two :

 

Is this 24H2 26100.712?

 

No, 22631.3672.

You right! In 26100.712 there is one item in the menu. I think it's bug.

 

thats because 24h2 has a scrollable feature... no editing/adding because they already pinned in scroll

 

The scrollable feature has delete/adding feature by right click on tile and click the second item on the menu.

 

But for god sake, why i need to have flight mode on my desktop machine

 

in case you took your desktop pc on an airplane ? hello ?

 

You got it right, Microsoft logic

 

if you don't use XBOX & OneSync
run this script to disable their services.

Code:

Get-Service | ? Name -match "FileSyncHelper|OneSyncSvc|OneDrive Updater Service|^OneSyncSvc_*^" | % {
  Stop-Service -name $_.ServiceName -Force
  Set-Service -name $_.ServiceName -StartupType Disabled -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  [Microsoft.Win32.Registry]::SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\$_.ServiceName","Start",4,[Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind]::DWord)
}

Get-Service | ? Name -match "XblAuthManager|XblGameSave|xboxgip|XboxGipSvc|XboxNetApiSvc" | % {
  Stop-Service -name $_.ServiceName -Force
  Set-Service -name $_.ServiceName -StartupType Disabled -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  [Microsoft.Win32.Registry]::SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\$_.ServiceName","Start",4,[Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind]::DWord)
}

 

Hello

When installing W11 24h2, there is an option "Previous version of Setup" (to have the old interface)



Using an autounattend file, is it possible to add this option with autounattend (or another way, registry key, etc...) ?

Thanks for your help

 

Just delete the services. Run each in command prompt:

sc delete "XblAuthManager"

sc delete "XblGameSave"

sc delete "xboxgip"

sc delete "XboxGipSvc"

sc delete "XboxNetApiSvc"

sc delete "FileSyncHelper"

sc delete "OneSyncSvc"

sc delete "OneDrive Updater Service"

sc delete "OneSyncSvc"


Use same format to delete any other service.

 

Tested multiple trick not found atm

The best are use windows 11 23h2 iso as base and replace install.wim or install.esd with install.wim from 24h2

 

Thanks for help, I'll test but not sure if it works

EDIT : Tested and it works, thank you very much for the info
