Multiple issues on 24H2

[SFMextrico]

Heyo

These are my experiences with AutopilotBranding on 24H2 so far:

• Windows Background is defaulting to Windows Spotlight, overwriting the customized background, even if Windows Spotlight get's disabled earlier in the script.
• Setting location registry keys terminates the script due to "path not existing" even though they do.
• General Customization doesn't work off the bat as it does in earlier build, it needs the device to be rebooted multiple times, before start menu is configured correctly.
• Toolbar customizations such as icons seems to be working 50% of the time, changing the search bar to icon does not work
• Context menu registry "hack" does not work, at all. Have had to create a platform script for this
• Downloading and installing onedrive gets stuck, and makes autopilot deployment timeout, needed to add a timeout for the installation or remove it entirely.

I'll add if I find other errors

I found a different way of doing the toolbar that seems to be working, at least in my testing. I have not deployed this to production yet as I am still working through issues with the Windows Background being overwritten by Windows Spotlight. I have not found a workaround for that and it is driving me nuts.

Here is my workaround for the Toolbar. Copy-Item "$($installFolder)Layout.xml" "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Layout.xml" -Force

I got the toolbar customization working by simply creating a settings catalog configuration that I deploy to the device group :) Will try your way!

I've got the Windows Background working by adding this part to my script before setting the theme:

Log "Disabling Windows Spotlight for Desktop" reg.exe add "HKLM\TempUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent" /v DisableSpotlightCollectionOnDesktop /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f | Out-Host
