Thanks for the testing @garlin 💕 I've updated the script and will attach it here. However for me, it seems very hit and miss if it works now on my daily use PC! On my test VM it's great and works every time. Param( [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)]$RemoveStartMenuItems = $True...

It feels like this is probably the best 'solution' for now. I plan to leave this now as it sorts out my particular issue for my standalone clients. But I'm keen to hear if anyone finds a way to remove this stuff in a 'fire and forget' type of way. I hope this helps pave the way for a more...

OK, so some more testing and I've made if more robust. The permissions on the appxmanifest.xml file weren't being reset correctly so I fixed that. I also tested a Windows update that installed a new version of the CBS package and it failed, so I've added another option to revert back to the...

I put the original appxmanifest.xml file back after reinstalling the tweaked appx package. So hopefully future CBS package updates will install OK. You will have to re-run the script to remove the Start menu items again. Not ideal, but we're getting there!

Oh, if you ran the first script I posted. Restore the original appxmanifest.xml file first before running this one. At: C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy appxmanifest_[earliest date/time].xml -> appxmanifest.xml

Well I just had another quick look at this and I got it to work on my laptop. I'm not sure if it was the remove package not working or how I was running it. But I put back in the ugly remove AppX package function. Anyway.. be sure to use the PowerShell that comes with Windows 11, not the one...

I'm more coming at this from just tidying up the all apps area of the start menu. The clients I'm building are quite locked down and don't have Internet access so those 3 things on the start menu just don't work.

Yeah, sorry. It worked on my test VM. But I think I need to make it a bit more robust. I'll hopefully have a better version ready to go on Monday.

Thanks for the tips, I'll have a look at that on Monday. Just having tried the script on a different machine it's failing.. so more work to do it seems!!

After quite a while trying to remove the rubbish that the CBS package installs into the Start menu, I think I've finally cracked it! The following will just hide 'Get Started', 'Windows Back up' and the new 'Continue from phone'. Leaving all functionality of the package. Run the PowerShell...
