Just a heads up, a couple months back, the feature flag noted in my post above stopped working again to disable CrossDeviceResume.exe, so I'm back to using the scheduled task tweak provided earlier.

It turns out that this understanding of ReconcileFeatures is actually what caused your registry tweak stop working on my machine. ReconcileFeatures is the solution, not the problem—those registry flags often do nothing without ReconcileFeatures—it is what applies them! When run, it doesn't...

@msmcintosh Yeah, that's a problem. Try running the command shown in the quote now at the bottom of my previous post (it should return "[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS"), then disable VMD again and see if it'll boot. Also, if you have the option for RAID or AHCI, you want the latter (remember...

Open Device Manager and expand Storage controllers. Inside, look for Standard NVM Express Controller. Double-click -> Driver -> [Driver Details] and confirm that the driver file is stornvme.sys. If so, back out to Device Manager -> View -> Devices by connection. Is your NVMe drive under that...

Those did nothing for me on Windows 11—multiple PCs. My guess is they're for Windows Server. You need these (save as a .bat file and run as administrator): reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\14\156965516 /v EnabledState /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f reg add...

That's the router's personal firewall setting for its public (WAN) port, and it is disabled for security—that one makes sense. This has nothing to do with the router "blocking ICMP"—it wouldn't know where to route incoming ICMP packets from WAN to specific devices on the LAN regardless (unless...

Yeah, it's ridiculous. All other operating systems and devices (besides ones running Windows) ubiquitously respond to pings.

@HarleyQuinn Not for me, using the tweak I provided earlier. Fresh boot looks like this for me on stock Windows 11 25H2 after tweaks have been applied:

Ah, now I understand. Yes, you can modify the command to kill other programs running in the background. However, note a few caveats: taskkill.exe filters processes by EXE name. So you won't be able to kill services hosted in a common container (such as svchost.exe) as it will terminate all...

No, you'd need to set policies to do that. And Recall only works with a very small subset of processors (mostly ARM), so I haven't had the opportunity to need to try to kill it. All the Task Scheduler does is launch programs on a schedule or event. My command asks it to launch taskkill.exe...

@HarleyQuinn The command I gave only stops CrossDeviceResume.exe from constantly running in the background. There are policies you can put in place to disable the CoPilot and Recall features.

All that command does is create a scheduled task in the "\Microsoft\Windows\Shell" folder to terminate CrossDeviceResume.exe upon the login of any user (which is when it gets started). It's much easier to run the command than to manually create the task. It's written out in plain English, so...

Turns out I don't even have the ReconcileFeatures task on my PC. In that folder, I only have GovernedFeatureUsageProcessing (never run), and ReconcileConfigs (last run in June). So clearly I was wrong about those tasks being necessary for newly downloaded features to get enabled. And...

Interesting. So I don't want to disable feature reconciliation as I want my system to move forward with updates/features, and have my system set to reapply tweaks after each version change. I wonder what additional flags ViVeTool is setting that is still working for this feature.

@HarleyQuinn Execute the command below in an administrative command window—this is what I'm currently using: schtasks /create /sc OnLogon /delay 0000:03 /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Kill CrossDeviceResume.exe" /tr "taskkill /im CrossDeviceResume.exe /f" /ru SYSTEM /f @TheSystemGuy What build...
