    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

    Are you saying that "InputServiceEnabled = 1":
    - Prevents CTFMon.exe process from running in the background
    - Doesn't break Start Menu Search
    - Preserves typing ability in UWP apps (such as Start Menu Search)

    ???

    "InputServiceEnabled = 1" doesn't do anything for me. The latest (and now public) NTLite cleanly removes CTFMon.exe, visually preserves Start Menu Search, but disables typing ability.

    Please let me know if I misunderstand something here.

    This is the right key ;)
    I remove CTFMon with NTLite 10002 (and keep "text service framework") the following versions require to remove this component
    And I modify the registry key

    I do not use the Windows Start Menu (removed with NTLite) so I do not know about the search (the rest works as indicated above)

    Yes, the search in the taskbar and in Settings no longer works
    The tweak is to no longer have the error message when opening Notepad, Settings, closing the Task Manager, etc...

    If Windows 8.1 is not present, run msconfig.exe to remove it.

    How can I get the old untabbed Notepad back? Currently, when I close Notepad, my changes to the files I had opened don't get saved - no save prompt. When I open another file (perhaps several days later), I see the tab for the old files, and when I close the tab for the old file, then I get the save prompt. But by this time the file might have been moved or the location unavailable (pen drive etc.). Moreover, I've forgotten what it was I had changed.
    I tried several tweaks found on the internet to get rid of the tabbed style but it keeps coming back.

    Go to notepad settings and change when notepad starts open in a new window. Then you will be asked everytime you will close notepad if you want to save changes

    Remove BackupApp from start menu

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftAccount
    create dword32 DisableUserAuth set to 1

    This tweak break gamepass authentication(cant run any of my games, even free preview ones), and i think all paid app will not work too.
