Disabling some service(services) breaks things.

[igorbaryshev]

I used the Set-ServiceStartup function that disables some services and sets some to Manual. I was getting weird issues, like not being able to run Rockstar Games Launcher, it would fail to initialize. Also, Settings app > Accounts > Sign-in options menu would take like 20 seconds to load. As soon as I ran the PowerShell script and reset the service startup to default, the Rockstar Games Launcher worked as intended and Sign-in options opened up instantly. Which services could affect this?

Windows 11 24H2

Not sure about the Rockstar Launcher, but the Sign-In Options is because the Windows Biometric Service is disabled, as detailed in Issue #176. Without it, Fingerprint and Windows Hello is disabled as well.

I also suspect a similar case with Issue #174 regarding the clipboard. You're gonna have to note the initial states of the services and manually turn each one back to the default to test which specific service is the culprit.

Hope this helps!!

@Ravel-Ravencroft I guess Windows Hello partially works without the Biometric Service, the non-biometric part, since the PIN worked fine for me before I discovered that something is broken with sign-in. And yeah, something weird was going on with the new clipboard, but didn't pay much attention and forgot about it.

Hey there and sorry for the late reply,

Since the creation of this issue I have released a new version of the XML file and a major update to Winhance, I recommend that you watch this video which provides a full demo of the current version along with how to use the new version of WIMUtil and how to install the drivers etc. You now also have the ability to create an autounattend.xml file based on your selections in Winhance, so you have more control over which apps are removed and which settings are applied.

I have also created this video about v3.0.0 of UnattendedWinstall, I suggest that you watch it too if you're interested.

I'm closing this issue now, but if you need more help with the same issue, feel free to reopen it.
