Description

I found that in some cases, my account settings disappeared in settings, and the entire account tab disappeared.

Steps to reproduce

Edit gpedit Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Local Policies - Security Options - Accounts: Block Microsoft Accounts (disable)

Login My MS account, my develop E5 MS account and my school MS account.

Expected behavior

It should be normal. At least you shouldn't be unable to access account settings.

Actual behavior

I noticed that after a while, the entire Account tab in Settings disappeared. Sometimes I could get there using certain Settings links (such as Change Password or Account Settings), and sometimes I couldn't.

Maybe it was a system update and Atlas that finally caused it (?)

Atlas Edition

Atlas for Windows 11 23H2

Desktop information

Version Windows 11 Professional Edition Build number 23H2 Installation date ‎2024/‎5/‎3 OS version 22631.3737 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1009.0

Additional content

This bug does not seem to appear on Win10. One of my computers did not have this bug after the above operations, but since it is unstable to reproduce, I am not sure if it is due to luck.

What's strange is that this behavior doesn't seem to happen on the first reboot. But it happens after multiple reboots.

Hi, it seems like a Windows update cleared Atlas's method to disable ads on the accounts page.

To fix this, open PowerShell as an Administrator, and copy and paste the below:

cd "$env:windir\AtlasModules"; $ver = 'v0.3.3'; $name = "ViVeTool-$ver"
if ((gcim Win32_ComputerSystem).SystemType -match 'ARM64') { $name = "$name-ARM64CLR.zip" } else { $name = "$name.zip" }
curl.exe -LSs "https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases/download/$ver/$name" -o "$name"
iex(irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas/cef5ab81b9ef5d477f3a8aeb7b1e30cd54e4bb09/src/playbook/Executables/CLIENTCBS.ps1)

Then, restart.

嗨，似乎 Windows 更新清除了 Atlas 在帐户页面上禁用广告的方法。

若要解决此问题，请按 Win+R 打开“运行”对话框，粘贴，然后按 Enter：

RunAsTI.cmd powershell iex(irm https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Atlas-OS/Atlas@main/src/playbook/Executables/CLIENTCBS.ps1); pause

Thank you, that work. (need reboot)

Still going to keep this open as it's an issue some users have and I want to properly fix it

Then it seems that it may have nothing to do with my restarting the MS account. I will modify the context.

Thanks your help.

It's due to the FeatureManagement overrides being cleared. See the script that disables the Settings ads for more info: https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas/blob/main/src/playbook/Executables/CLIENTCBS.ps1

Fixed in release v0.4.1. See the release for more info on what v0.4 users can do.

Hi @he3als - Unfortunately this powershell command does not appear to work on Windows 11 24H2

Github has autoformatted the command to markdown (with some links changed), you need to copy it raw. If it's still having issues, maybe put your error here instead of just bitching about it.

Hello,

My apologies if I appeared to be "bitching". I was genuinely just trying to reach out as the command does not appear to be not working, and wanted to raise awareness.

As for an error message, I do not receive one. After inputting the command, the power shell windows closes. After restarting, the accounts page is unfortunately still not visible.

It is definitely possible this is user error, as I am not 100% sure I copied the command raw correctly. In order to do so, I clicked the copy option on the command window in he3als comment. If that is not correct, please let me know!

Hello @Ast3risk-ops / @he3als,

I've tried debugging further, and it looks like I'm getting the error "Settings extensions (C:\WINDOWS\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\Public\wsxpacks\Account\SettingsExtensions.json) not found."

I'm currently on Windows 11 24H2 running Atlas 0.4.0
