• There already is a setting Disable app suggestions, and I have now added the term Content Delivery Manager to its description:

• To enable .NET Framework 3.5, please run

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName 'NetFx3';

as a .ps1 script in the Scripts to run in the system context, before user accounts are created section. I don't think a dedicated setting is justified for this.

• I am not a gamer, and I have no experience with these HPET settings. As far as I understand, running bcdedit.exe /deletevalue {current} useplatformclock is supposed to disable HPET. Microsoft warns that both useplatformtick and useplatformclock “should only be used for debugging”. Testing is also difficult for me as VMware guests apparently do not support HPET. I would assume that there are more specialized tools to optimize a Windows PC for gaming.

Add this please. [HKEY_USERS\DefaultUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarDeveloperSettings] "TaskbarEndTask"=dword:00000001

This script run but not enable it in my windows (Win11_24H2). Is possible with this command and how? Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

This script run but not enable it in my windows (Win11_24H2).

Thanks for pointing this out! Running Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName 'NetFx3' in the Scripts to run in the system context, before user accounts are created section indeed throws an error. To check the output of custom scripts, find the log files that match the C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\unattend-*.log pattern:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature failed. Error code = 0x8024004a
At line:1 char:1
+ Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName 'NetFx3';
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand

However, running in the same script in the Scripts to run when the first user logs on after Windows has been installed section succeeds, and .NET Framework 3.5 is properly installed.

Thanks for the answer. Not enable also with this way.

After some tests, finally working with this Scripts to run whenever a user logs on for the first time as a cmd file Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Is this really that important? I have never missed the End task command, since Close window does the same thing in almost all cases.
