Hi
Bruce we use deep freeze as well, and had the same issue with the constant updating. So I decided to revert back to using sysprep's copy profile. Defprof and User Profile are amazing products, that have a few quirks that I am hoping Forensit work out shortly, in regards to windows 8.x |

Thanks for the link, but is there no way to disable the updating completely?, I had to revert back to using sysprep's copy profile due to the updating of apps that defprof does.

I have noticed the same problem ie. that the startscreen apps update with every new login (which is really bad for us because we use Deepfreeze, so we have "new logins" all the time).
At first I was not sure why the logins were so slow, but after I pressed CTRL-ALT-DELETE during the wait and then ESC, the screen showed what was going on (ie. the apps are updating). It would be helpful to know if this is something which is on the radar to be addressed (ie. is it a problem, or is it just the way it is with DefProf?). Or, is this something User Profile Manager does better and we should use that? Thanks, ...Bruce |

Sorry, I didn't see the error the first time when running the powershell script. It gives an error
powershell : Add-AppxPackage : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument At C:\Windows\fixblanktiles.ps1:1 char:1 + powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Add-AppxPackage...cepts argument :Strin g) [], RemoteException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError 'files\windowsapps\*\AppxManifest.xml'.

Also I have noticed that using defprof the appstore always updates apps every new login if even updating apps is turned off via gpedit.msc is there a fix for that issue?

Thanks Ray.
I Think you missed a quote? shouldn't it be powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register 'c:\program files\windowsapps\*\AppxManifest.xml' Also do I run this before I run defprof or after? Edited by clivebuckwheat - 18 Aug 2014 at 10:53am |
