Packages such as the metadata for capabilities (FoDs) or the foundation package were being incorrectly filtered. They were part of `Remove-ProvisionedPackages`, which only removes AppX packages. These are **OS packages**, something completely different
Exclude that from feature list. Fixes ChrisTitusTech#2705
…dingWonders/winutil into microwin-1st-anniversary-prep
DISM is a system component. It will never be an AppX package. This is unnecessary
Compilation script is very adamant that this should be this way
Exclude the VBSCRIPT feature on demand (or capability) from package removal. Some people were reporting that excluding VBSCRIPT fixed problems with AMD chipset drivers on MicroWin
This fixes problems people were experiencing where the file explorer would go back to the Windows 10 layout
I've only been able to disable Search Highlights. News and Interests persists
Avoid showing "Access denied" errors for this. This is still broken - News and Interests is still there. [louder]Linus Torvalds curse word here[/louder] Anyway, if someone wants to give setting this up a shot, send me suggestions on how to do this
Items are being added correctly, but I can't get that to show to the end-user. Perhaps a different approach will work
Sadly, the links for these had been removed by Microsoft, in favor of the latest version (24H2)
Thanks @og-mrk for the suggestion and the patch (even though I applied it myself)
* Make error messages easier to view * Improve error output --------- Co-authored-by: CodingWonders <[email protected]>
Keeps the Explorer look of modern Windows 11 builds whilst removing the Recall feature (which I think will manifest itself on PCs with Lunar Lake processors)
This still works on single-boot configurations, but presents a more dynamic approach
Fix originally from @MyDrift-user on ChrisTitusTech#2856
Chocolatey may not be the way to help us detect the presence of OSCDIMG. Everyone, unless someone REALLY uses old deployment technology, has moved to Windows ADK 10.0

PowerShell 7 support is temporarily broken with the error "Specified method is not supported". Look at the additional notes for more information EDIT: fixed |
…omparer' approach (#2) Fixes startup issues in PWSH 7
Even though the logic is still there, it doesn't work. I don't want to deal with that anymore. Search Highlights, on the other hand, is removed very easily
They throw an "Access denied" error when trying to remove them. This is a timesaver

Type of Change
Description
This PR adds final fixes and enhancements for this first year of MicroWin, and is, therefore, an anniversary special. MicroWin was first introduced to the WinUtil repository as a PR by @KonTy on October 26, 2023 (the 11th anniversary of Windows 8!), on #1129, and has been improved ever since.
The current highlights are these:
Note
Downloads for older versions of Windows 11 have been removed from WinUtil because Fido no longer supports downloading them. Microsoft has removed the links for these (obviously in favor of 24H2)
Testing
Testing has concluded successfully thus far.
Impact
A better experience
