Doesn't work anymore.

[jcovillers]

Hi!
The script doesn't work anymore.

1909
18363.720

[Disassembler0]

Please be more specific. What steps are you taking to run it? What output do you get?

[jcovillers]

I just migrated a few machines from 7 to 10. Until recently the script was working perfectly well.

Since a few weeks, when I run it on the newly migrated machines, it doesn't work anymore. The changes don't apply.
Some error messages on paths or registry keys that don't exist.

I think it's from the latest microsoft update?!

Can we generate a log file?

What is curious is that the script works on the admin profile but not at all on the user profile.

[Disassembler0]

I can't reproduce any of the errors on any edition of 1909 or 2004. And I went so far that I even tried it on French Windows. :)

The errors don't even make sense. HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache\DefaultAccount needs to exist. Without it, the user doesn't have any start menu. The same goes for HKCU:\Control Panel\International\User Profile because without that, the user has no locale settings and keyboard. There must be something you've forgot to mention. From the errors it almost looks like you're running the script before the user profile finishes initialization or like you're impersonating a user from different user profile, but in that case I'd expect to see many more errors.

When you say you've "migrated", does it mean clean installation or the in-place upgrade?

Do you use Microsoft account, active directory, or local one?

Can you please write down all the steps you're taking from the end of Windows installation until you get the script output which you've pasted above? Things like how do you create the user, how do you execute the script etc.

[Disassembler0]

Also, you wrote

script works on the admin profile but not at all on the user profile

Does that user have admin privileges or is really just a regular user? Because if it's regular user, then the script asks for elevation and the tweaks are applied to the elevated user and not the one originally executing the script as you'd expect. See #29 and #274. But this has always worked the same way, it's not a recent change.

[jcovillers]

Okay,
I have several computers running Windows 7.
Each workstation has a local administrator profile and a local standard user profile.
To switch to windows 10, I use the migration tool of microsoft.
When the migration is complete, I go to each profile to validate the telemetry options (^^) of microsoft.
(the questionnaire that asks to answer yes or no for sending data to microsoft, GPS position etc...).
I log in with the standard user profile, run the script and enter the admin credentials when requested.

After reading #29 and #274, I'll try to modify the script to change the standard user account to admin the time to apply the script then switch it back to standard
Thx
