• Refactor Remove-AppxApps.ps1 - simplified code and use same approach on physical and virtual machines when removing AppX application packages
• Update Install-Defaults.ps1 to only call Remove-AppxApps.ps1 during OOBE. This ensures that this script does not accidentally run on an existing machine and remove a user's apps. Call Remove-AppxApps.ps1 explicitly when needed (e.g. for gold images)
• Removes the parameter -AppxMode from Install-Defaults.ps1 - Remove-AppxApps.ps1 acts the same on physical and virtual machines
• Set a static wallpaper as default on Windows 11 24H2 - this removes Windows spotlight as the default wallpaper
• Set Windows Terminal as the default terminal application. This removes the 'set default' prompt that shows by default in Windows Terminal
• Set HKLM:\Software\\Policie\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent\DisableCloudOptimizedContent to prevent Outlook (new) shortcut from being added to the taskbar in Windows 11
• Rename default Windows 11 Start menu data file to start2.bin #40
