on GitHub

• Renames the project to Windows Enterprise Defaults
• Refactor Remove-AppxApps.ps1 - simplified code and use same approach on physical and virtual machines when removing AppX application packages. Supports the prevention of Outlook and Dev Home from being installed automatically on Windows 11 and Windows 10
• 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 prevents 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
• Sets BingSearchEnabled to prevent web search on the Start menu by default
• Sets SearchbarAllowed to prevent the Edge search bar from appearing on the desktop in Windows 11
• Sets ScoobeSystemSettingEnabled to disable 'Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device'
• Sets DisableCloudOptimizedContent to prevent Outlook (new) shortcut from being added to the taskbar in Windows 11
• Sets Start_IrisRecommendations to prevent 'Recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more' on the Start menu
• Rename default Windows 11 Start menu data file to start2.bin #40
• Removes TipbandDesiredVisibility and PenWorkspaceButtonDesiredVisibility that disable the touch keyboard and pen input UI on the taskbar
