How can I remove Windows Backup App, SandBox?

Hi,

after running the script from
github.com

GitHub - JamieToll/Remove_CBSStartMenuRubbish: Remove items from the Windows Start Menu: 'Get Started', 'Windows Back up' and on older Windows releases 'Continue from Phone'.

if you run the command sfc /scannow you will get error(s) and windows will not be able to fix them.

I found a way to fix that:


1 - before running the script, run sfc/scannow ( from an admin command prompt )

2 - no error? OK

3 - run powershell script

4 - run sfc/scannow, then there will be error(s) found and unable to repair...

4 - run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth ( from an admin command prompt )

5 - run sfc/scannow, the error(s) will be repaired

6 - run sfc/scannow again to confirm that there is no error(s)

7 - fix is done.

end
 
I've explained before to Jamie (on ElevenForums) that his current method runs into certain problems.

In order to apply changes to Client.CBS, you must modify the AppxManifest.xml. Windows has a security restriction where that file must be named AppxManifest.xml, and cannot be anywhere else. After re-registering Client.CBS with the modded file, it's important to revert the file's contents because it no longer matches the AppxBlockmap.xml security hashes.

Two things will happen: Because the file has been altered, Windows thinks it needs a repair. It can block WU from updating to the next Monthly Update (because it wants to refresh Client.CBS), until the original AppxManifest.xml is restored.
 
Ok that second bit sounds nasty, My test install where I ran the script, SFC fails, but CU did install.
 
When I left an edited Client.CBS AppxManifest.xml in place, 24H2's WU would consistent stop at 23% progress. Nothing worked, until I restored the original file and pending updates could be installed again.
