While creating my master images an issue I have run into since I found DefProf was that upon OOBE and even after with New user creation I am bombarded with windows messages about default application associations being reverted to defaults (IE Firefox as default, photos ect ect ect).

I did/do not change any file/type associations when setting up a user account to DefProf copy, am I missing something?

Bonus question, is the addon it requests to download and install actually required when making an image like I am, or is it more for when its used on a live/in use system? I cant seem to find information on what it does or why its needed

EX steps I take

Install Windows, Jump into Audit mode from OOBE, run Windows 10 Decrapifier, exit Audit mode and boot into OOBE, setup user with the settings and layout I desire, run sysprep, DefProf, then enter OOBE and setup new user to have the template profile I just made, everything goes fine except the 30+ messages about file associations being reset to defaults :/
