Windows 11 Tweaks, Fixes and Modifications [Overview]

Shutdown PC.

 

At idle? Search indexing, Defender, background apps, etc, all that s***, umm stuff, is disabled? My CPU is at ~1% at idle (10% due to taking the screenshot).

 

A workaround for new outlook not showing notification when closed
drag a shortcut from startmenu jumplist to desktop
Modify the shortcut to open minimised
go to system tray tick hide when minimised
drop the modded shortcut in users startup folder ..this is located in roaming
don't use the close button in the UI ...only use minimised
leave app running minimised
when you reboot/login ...outlook will go straight to system tray ....notifications working.

 

no just to start the process

Please tell me how I can use the lock screen window recommendation background when I log in from 24h226100 LTSC. There are a lot of Windows repack masters here, but I don't have a solution to this one. I'm curious and want to solve it. Please help

I remember that there were keys or values to be able to pause Windows Update for a certain time.

Code:

; Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Pause updates > Up to 4 years
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"FlightSettingsMaxPauseDays"=dword:000005b4

; Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Pause updates > Until January 1st, 2026
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"PauseFeatureUpdatesStartTime"="2022-07-01T20:00:00Z"
"PauseQualityUpdatesStartTime"="2022-07-01T20:00:00Z"
"PauseFeatureUpdatesEndTime"="2026-01-01T20:00:00Z"
"PauseQualityUpdatesEndTime"="2026-01-01T20:00:00Z"
"PauseUpdatesExpiryTime"="2026-01-01T20:00:00Z"

I tried to apply this in Windows 11 21H2/22H2/23H2 and even in 24H2 without success.

Does anyone know if there is another way to do it via registry or using cmd commands?

 

try this

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost]
netsvcs

Double-click and delete data

UsoSvc
wuauserv

 

this can stop updates but as i said before.. i just need to pause them on a certain date.

 

If you're trying to do that with the registry, I don't think that's possible.
How about changing the contents of "netsvcs" on a schedule?

 

I use the one to pause updates. Works very well and to re-enable just click on un-pause updates and they resume.

Its from Ankh Tech toolbox.

Code:

@echo.
Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseFeatureUpdatesStartTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseQualityUpdatesStartTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseUpdatesExpiryTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2050-11-01T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1

@echo.  Updates Paused Until 2050

Defragsvc keeps starting on my 24h2 installation when it's idle and is eating up my ssd. (checked it on resource monitor)

Should I be worried?

 

Definitely, 11 is known to have constantly defragmented SSDs twice and thus lowering their lifespan. Third time is the charm.

 

Nice move, microsoft

 

Running an initial defragmentation on a fresh system is important for optimizing the Volume Shadow Copy service, which helps with creating backup copies of files or volumes even when they're in use. This ensures that the shadow copies don't overwrite important data
Applies to all disks and ssd's ..nvme's
