    That's the only package that it could be part of I have callingshellapp package on 22h2 but nothing in start menu.
    Microsoft.Windows.CallingShellApp_1000.22621.1.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy

    Try dism++ it could be listed somewhere there as app or provisioned app. If it's not check cbs folder if there's some phone app in there if so it's part of cbs like search in start menu, but i don't think so.
    Myself would also look through cbsenum as it's easy to find packages there
    If this app is called phone link you can also try to
    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
    See if it works

    And if it doesn't just dont give up even Microsoft wants you to give up and leave their apps untouched, lol

    MS and apps like to change settings at will, it is like cat and mouse game. You should keep tweaks backed up and restore them at least after windows updates, I turn off PC with my tweaks to reset anything that might have been changed.

    It breaks Search Bar completely in 26100.1301, but only disables typing in NTLite Alpha.

    I found a tweak while testing to remove CTFMon without having an error,
    I'll see with nuhi if he wants to integrate it into NTLite and re-separate CTFMon (as it was with the 10002, changed since the 10006)

    Does your tweak break file intergrity (SFC /Scannow) and/or component store (DISM ScanHealth) integrity? In some builds CTFMon.exe can be renamed/removed without errors, but break DISM integrity.

    Do share the tweak!

    I don't know, I delete this with NTLite (Store, etc... and never tested sfc since I use NTL)
    I'll give it to you when I get home (registry key to modify)

    Thanks!

    Just to clarify - Microsoft tied/bound CTFMon.exe to UWP App typing only in 26100.1301 (and newer builds, I think). Versions before 26100.1301 allowed removal of CTFMon.exe without affecting typing in UWP apps.

    With the update to build 4037 made a few moments ago, the "Continue from phone" app disappeared.

    I tested with Notepad, adding the password for WIFI, etc... It worked without problem

    Go there : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input

    InputServiceEnabled => 0 to 1

    @ everyone

    How to revoke Admin permissions from a Store App?
    HP Smart app installed and I accepted UAC prompt which gave it admin permissions. Now a worthless HPSmart virtual printer has appeared under Devices & Printers. The virtual printer keeps on installing again and again even after removing it manually and deleting it's drivers. I uninstalled HP Smart app and reinstalled it. But it seems like it automatically takes admin permissions without even asking me again.

    Also found why cpu on 22h2 when I stop using mouse goes to 0% usage and stays 0% while on 24h2 cpu is constantly used by tasks. Well I use asus motherboard with Intel DTT enabled on 22h2 it works well just found there's no Intel dtt drivers for 24h2 from asus yet, didn't know Intel dtt drivers for 22h2 won't work on 24h2
