In version 26100.5061, I notice a new exe keep running in background.

C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\CrossDeviceResume.exe

Anyone know how to disable this? Renaming file gives an error on windows startup
 
File is in the "Windows Feature Experience Pack - Desktop" component.
Also remove 'Shared Experiences', those two should cover it.

Let me know if not, with a preset.
 
From Reddit:
Code: 
vivetool.exe /disable /id:56517033

If you want to disable this feature automatically, add this reg file from NTLite's Registry screen:
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\1387020943]
"EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000
"EnabledState"=dword:00000001
"Variant"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayload"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayloadKind"=dword:00000000

sihost.exe apparently runs CrossDeviceResume.exe in the background, regardless of the CrossDeviceResume policy or settings.

Have you tested this with the latest cumulative update (March 10th)? It changed something. I was able to remove CrossDeviceResume before somehow but I can't since this update, CrossDeviceResume.exe runs in the background again regardless of any registry hacks. My solution is to kill it with ProcessKiller. It only spawns after a reboot and few times per day, as far as I can see, so that works for me.

I'm burnt out after the latest build so I won't test this, I need some time off from this, so I'm gonna stick to my solution until my next build, but I'm curious.
 
I run on the march 10 build and it worked for me. Try it never the less it can also work for you too.

Thank you!

So tested this, couldn't resist. This is exactly what I have and CrossDeviceResume.exe indeed no longer runs on my current build. You're right. I must have missed something in my previous builds obviously, because it works now and I overlooked that fact. I'm sorry :oops: Please ignore me. Like I said, I really got tired of this, I've gone through too many builds in a single month just to get a handful of little things right.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\1387020943]
"EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000
"EnabledState"=dword:00000001
"Variant"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayload"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayloadKind"=dword:00000000

I've heard some users saying the trick doesn't work, but after trying again later, it works. Other users say it never works. /shrug
