Sorry, haven't yet. Working on another previous project to auto-restore Classic Ribbon on a clean install. As you know, everything's in the details.

The normal guidance on applying HKCU changes on a clean install, is to update Default User's NTUSER.DAT with your HKCU edits. This way, every new user account inherits the same settings.

In reality, Windows appears to clobber (or ignore) some HKCU settings when the user account is provisioned at first logon.

The workaround as several IT admins have realized, is to apply the HKCU updates during the first logon session, through a created RunOnceEx task or ordered by FirstLogonCommand in the unattended file.

My command is actually a PS script, since corrective logic has be applied to check if you're on 21H2 vs 22H2-24H2 system.

i only use the ribbon for specific tasks, hence the tool i made that i posted yesterday to launch a specific path only in the ribbon instance. i was just curious of your methodology. interested to see the final script when completed.

Use at your own risk. I did forget to say that.
I feel it does the job with safety nets.
But as always, have a look what the script does if you understand PowerShell. If not, it may be best not to run it.

I understand PS, and can confirm @JamieT's writes in that formal style of overcautious programming. :cautious:

If this was a "Fast & Furious" movie sequel, Dom & Letty would gut 75% of the script and it would still drive.
