Just as it says on the tin, removing the component doesn't remove the backup shortcut (ideally, the shortcut should be removed standalone). Its a minor annoyance, but its an annoyance nonetheless. Sorry for being OCD.

I've been using license files with packages downloaded from Store.Rg-Adguard for a while now, and still installing successfully. I use PowerShell -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath...

did you try Driverpack.io yet?

Symlinking is great and should be a great way to keep the data safe while you nuke the OS, IMHO. On linuxes, I'm quite a fan of the KDE and their range of customizations, but I like the Linux Mint approach the best, and its in theory kind of what we do with NTLite: they take vanilla Ubuntu (or...

Not in the Dell website, not anymore. Nowadays you don't get anywhere there without a login, password, service tag, cookies and geolocation data. Y'know, standard information stealing and money grabbing gimmicks. these are the ones I have: Intel Graphics, Intel Thunderbolt, Killer Control...

well, you need to match the names of the versions you have, and the folders, I prefer to run this at first run, install everything, then reboot to userspace. Many appsh*t give a lot less grief if installed through an account, even if its the inbuilt admin one than if they're installed through...

This is what I've been using to this day: not the most elegant solution, but it works: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Setup\iGPU-DCH\Installer.exe --passive --overwrite PowerShell -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath...

OK, I've been keeping way from Windows 11 for a while, but I can try to help you. There are some questions I need to ask for that though: Do you absolutely need to use windows? Yes, that is a serious question, I use both Linux Mint and Windows, some games and software I run are not linux...

I work around that by adding a runonce RegFile via NTLite that starts up a batch in C:\Setup, and at the end, adds another runonce entry to delete the folder after a restart, then end the batch with a system restart.

ok, Cortana is NOT needed for Power & Battery, just windows search. I still need more testing to figure out why I can't install APPX stuff and why file explorer and other inbuilt stuff seizes up when I have search enabled and why it doesn't when I remove it. ----- Edit ----- NTLite update...

if it works it works!

I actually have a powerplan script, since my W8.1 machine, but I have to post it as a file, because its above the post length allowed. It should be a .cmd, but uploaded as a TXT to be left uncompressed. This is, of course, meant to be used in a notebook, but you can process those in a desktop...

for reference, I use a Runonce called Setup located at C:\Setup, instead of the one NTLite does (or did, when I started doing this instead), because Spotify dislikes being installed at the SetupComplete time, added via this reg file attached. I don't do NTLite post installs nowadays (I know it...

Sure! its not that complicated, really, its harder to explain than to show really, but it is a bit of a long tutorial. Just have this as the first line in your script: for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic csproduct get identifyingnumber /value') do set tag=%%a This gets the Service Tag...

I actually keep a driverless NTLited image in a 128gb stick + Driverpacks (With only Mass Storage unpacked) + Software installers (especially the browser, since ChEdge needs to die in a fire), for those 'just in case' scenarios. That and my Linux Mint boot Drive saved my behind many times in the...

That may be the for the best, yeah. At least until I have a machine to test these stuff, because testing on your main machine is just... pain. Unlike you I'm not so keen in not sounding like I'm bashing Microsoft. If it sounds like that, they deserve it and more. The LAST good Windows was 7...

I can confirm restoring Cortana makes the page load. But restoring just Cortana (and two dependencies NTLite asked me to) breaks the start menu, and makes file explorer stop working... What the freaking-?!

I don't know about Cortana because I ALWAYS remove it, but on my phone, any sort of voice recognition/search eats my battery. Simply disabling mic and camera access already gives me hours more of runtime on my device, at the cost of a prompt when answering a call or taking a photo. And the...

Power Automate AFAIK is about Automation of tasks, not Power Profiles. And I frequently use the search, in all tabs as a matter of fact. I did NOT think of Cortana and I'll be testing it right away. If it is her, damn, that's going to be a pain and half to neuter afterwards.

...as it says on the title, I was trying for a lite install of the latest Windows 11 home, but for some reason Battery & Power tab of the settings force closes on me, with no errors visible I can find. Everything else on my PC (that I have tried) works as expected with this profile. This is the...
