Holo crap

How to remove Holographics crap from Creators Update?

Apparently, even with the creators update installed this is not shown on systems not meeting some of its requirements. So try removing your two GTX 1080 Ti s from your rig and use the on board graphics -- should solve the problem. Just kidding.

I have the Creators Update only installed on my work machine and even though it has a GTX 970 it does not show up for me. Maybe since the CPU is too old. Anyway the first thing I found was a registry key, have you tried that already? Does it do more than just enabling / disabling the entry in the settings menu?

You have also seen that uninstall button?

I want to offline service the image like https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744294(v=ws.10).aspx UI optione doesn't help me in this case.

dism /disable-feature dism /remove-package or remove-appxprovisionedpackage would be fine :-)

[W4RH4WK]

You could try using dism like it is used in experimental_unfuckery.ps1. Yet there is a high probability it will break something in the long run. Try disabling the enabled needles and add holo / reality.

Also have you tried this: http://winaero.com/blog/uninstall-mixed-reality-windows-10/?

Dism /online /Get-Capabilities doesn't list any holo stuff on my machine

[W4RH4WK]

Tomorrow I'll try to capture what happens when you hit that uninstall button. Maybe this somehow helps.

[ThiloL]

Yes. This stuff confuses our users. I hate Microsoft for doing this - placing useles stuff in user's start menu.

[W4RH4WK]

If this is just about the start menu, have a look at #115.

[ThiloL]

The all apps area is the problem. So, un-pinning is no solution.

[W4RH4WK]

Sorry for the late answer, I haven't found time over the weekend to get to this issue. Maybe the following information does help. Upon pressing the uninstall button the following command is executed:

C:\Windows\System32\SystemSettingsAdminFlows.exe HolographicUninstall

If you intend to automate the uninstall process you may have to resort to an AutoIt script or similar. I haven't found a way to fully automate that process.

[ThiloL]

Start menu entry isn't removed with the uninstall. :-(

[W4RH4WK]

Apparently MS cannot even get the uninstaller right...

[W4RH4WK]

Just to be sure, you did reboot the machine. If it's still present can you provide me a screenshot as I cannot find it in my VM where I used the uninstaller.

Here https://www.administrator.de/frage/build-15063-1703-alte-app-thema-unternehmen-pro-edition-333525.html I found a cool way to remove this crap. I currently trying it.

[ThiloL]

Mixed-Reality-Portal only is in the start menu if you make a in-place upgrade from 1607 to 1703.

[W4RH4WK]

Okay, that would explain why I do not have it on my VM, I just made a clean installation yesterday. Glad you found a way.

Can I close this issue now?
