To clarify: does this problem exist when modifying a 23H2+ image offline from any host, or when modifying any image (including a Windows 10 one) from a 23H2+ host?
It is not recommended, because Search feature in Windows and also MS Office will need CTFMON.exe to run properly ..
"Start" - type secpol.msc , enter. This starts the "Local Security Policy" Editor. Right click "Software Restriction Policy" - "New Software Restriction Policy" Select the "Software Restriction Policies"- "Additional Rules" Right-click in the list to the right: "New path rule...", enter the path C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe Then you should give some meaningful description, f.e. "prevent ctfmon" After this you can kill the process, and Windows can no longer restart it. You only need to delete the rule and ctfmon can start again. Works fine for smartscreen.exe, mobsync.exe ect..
I guess you have never tried it before, because disabling keyboard in Windows is generally not a good idea.
Offcourse i tried, this prevents typing in search (windows store) when disabled, the keyboard however works fine everywhere else..
Before or after 24H2, because it changed it's behavior. For one you can not even login to Windows without it. It is no longer just a scheduled task, it is a service, which can not be disabled.
Sorry for the bother friend, do you have any cmd command or script that can disable the mandatory use of signed drivers for windows 11 23h2 and 24h2? any offline registry setting?

In Windows 11 23h2, are there services that when disabled cause Microsoft Store to not start (apart from Windows Update)? Sometimes I disable some unnecessary services and it ends up happening that the Microsoft Store does not start, it just shows "sorry, there was a problem"
also i have tried today chatgpt code copilot free trial. you can use it on your pc or phone. it can write scripts or you can upload ready script and ask ai to correct it to your liking, it will do android apk for you too, kinda cool. also uploaded Toolkit.cmd to its server and asked ai to correct it so it works against windows 11 24h2 and Ai did the magic even was showing what lines was correcting. thing is that file was over 1mb and in free trial thats to much. you can ask ai to write script for you to remove recall package upload screenshoot to its server of svchost netsevcs and ask ai about what each service means which ones are safe to remove. world is changing
ctfmon is successfully unregistered but restarts immediately afterwards. Could you share your list of services that are safe to disable from svchost?
