I am currently working on creating a Windows 24H2 ISO and am looking for two specific functions:

1) Disabling “Windows Spotlight” (cloud desktop wallpaper).
2) The restoration of the default wallpaper, “Windows HERO”.

Bug: The Taskbar Widgets function does not work and generates an NTLite error: Access denied.

If you want to disable Spotlight wallpapers, add this reg file under Post-Setup (After logon):

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent]
"DisableSpotlightCollectionOnDesktop"=dword:00000001

2) The restoration of the default wallpaper, “Windows HERO”.
You can replace the default background by adding a new image file from Post-Setup (Before logon). By default, NTLite will assume you want this image file as your new desktop wallpaper.

For Windows 11 24H2 that solution doesnt work. I added the new req file to 'After logon' page, but when I create new user (with OOBE procedure) I see new wallpaper and some additionaly icons...
