[SOLVED] Preset doesn't work on Windows 10

[weehong]

Hello,

Recently, I tried to modify my Windows 10 ISO.
However, I found that most of my presets aren't picked up by the NTLite or reflect on the modified ISO.
One of the example below.

<settings pass="specialize">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup">
        <ComputerName>DESKTOP-VMWARE</ComputerName>
    </component>
</settings>
...
<Tweaks>
    <Settings>
        <TweakGroup name="DesktopTweaks">
            <Tweak name="Advanced\TaskbarGlomLevel">0</Tweak>
        </TweakGroup>
        <TweakGroup name="Explorer">
            <Tweak name="Explorer\EnableAutoTray">1</Tweak>
        </TweakGroup>
    </Settings>
    <Services></Services>
    <ExtraServices></ExtraServices>
    <ScheduledTasks></ScheduledTasks>
</Tweaks>

I'm expecting that my computer name is DESKTOP-VMWARE.
I attached my preset here to seek for some helps.

19045.4957 is Sep 2024. Did you start with an updated image, and make no changes other than driver removals?
I tried your preset, and it worked for me. Hostname and both reg tweaks were correct.

I found the problem and the issue was caused by the registry keep overwriting the XML preset.

; Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Combine taskbar buttons > Never
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"TaskbarGlomLevel"=dword:00000002

; Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Select which icons appear on the taskbar > All
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"EnableAutoTray"=dword:00000000

Thanks Garlie to verify the preset.
