GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset
- Thread starter garlin
- Start date
What version of W11 is this (23/24H2, Home/Pro)? This is a new error, for comparison can you try the older "GamerOS 10 Final" preset?
The updated versions remove a few extra components that aren't in general use, but nothing that should interfere with Updates or Xbox app.
Its the 23h2 with your preset, i have TimeBrokerSvc auto, disabled defender, firewall, removed wlan, Doesnt gamerOS final disable xbox app anyway?
Edit: i have removed edge legacy if that matters

TimeBrokerSvc is normally set to Manual. Try this on your PC:
No, the updated preset keeps Xbox apps since some gamers needed the Gaming Pass features. It's easy to ask someone to remove it, rather than figure out how to restore something they didn't remove in the first place. TimeBroker's other job is to check for App permissions to access your devices like a webcam or audio.
Code:
sc stop TimeBroker
sc config TimeBroker start= demandNo, the updated preset keeps Xbox apps since some gamers needed the Gaming Pass features.

whenever i try any of the commands above i get:
[SC] openservice failed 1060:
The specified service does not exist as installed service.
I uploaded my preset for you, removed my windows key, not sure if i should remove anything else for privacy
sorry for the hassle again

I don't know if that's protected by TrustedInstaller rights (to prevent tampering). Run this command, and restart Windows:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TimeBroker" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /fadded, restarted, and same error as above
Im still getting access denied applying the 2 commands even after adding the registery you gave me, and yes the xbox app still having this error

I have my Gameros from here running with Win 11 23H2 and I use the Xbox app every day without any problems. I am of the opinion that Edge Legacy should not be removed and I have TimeBrokerSvc running as default.

Store and other things unfortunately depend on the Xbox services. Are those services running?
Looking at the MS Store's list of app versions, they pushed out a new release of Xbox App on 2024-08-08.
For some apps, the back-end servers won't talk to you unless you upgrade to the current build. The GameOS preset has always disabled auto-updates of UWP apps, so you have two options:
1. Download a newer version of Xbox App (Microsoft.GamingApp) using:
2. Enable WU background updates for all UWP apps:

You can install the app by double-clicking it from Explorer. And integrate the newer app package in the image, from the Updates page.
2. Enable WU background updates for all UWP apps:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v AutoDownload /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /fDo u think thatll fix? Man this is draining honestly. Tweaking windows and tuning rams makes you a zombie alive and cant use the pc!!! Its a never ending loop hole.
Is there a way to do it in preset and not live? I dont want to lose more keys please

You don't have to lose keys by renew everytime you purge the OS. I don't have the way to tell it right now since I am away however I am sure Garlin or anyone else will post that.
I see you are new and using Ntlite takes time to learn. Using another present and having issues after is were people get into trouble. Its the same thing as getting a bag of concrete and not knowing how it's made.
I don't want to discourage you but learning what works and what doesn't helps much more then being giving everything. Gamer OS should be used after learning and then applying the present to see if anything else you would like to add.
Hope this helps

this s--t takes time and effort and 20+ test builds is not unusual. if it is getting to you walk away and take a break and come back to it with a refreshed brain.
I tried installing the current 23H2 preset, and Xbox App fails as reported.
1. Enabling WU background app updates didn't work for me (while I was impatiently waiting).
2. Downloaded Microsoft.GamingApp (and its dependent packages) using the PS script.
3. Running a PowerShell Add-AppxPackage command using the full dependencies worked:
4. Launching the Xbox app, allowed it to self-update. It will complain you haven't updated the optional Game Bar & Feedback Hub.
Since Appx updates are deliberately broken in the original preset; it suggests either restoring WU to work again, or have users to download the current Xbox app and integrate it into the install image. The problem is allowing App updates is better, but GamerOS has always wanted to avoid them in the first place. I believe this problem has always existed, but previous gamers had never complained.
The workaround is to use the PS script, download Xbox Gaming App and its dependent packages, and add them from the Updates screen.

There's only one version available, as MS removes all previous Appx versions from the Store's history. From Explorer, clicking on the package file to install ends with a DesktopAppInstaller restricted features error.
3. Running a PowerShell Add-AppxPackage command using the full dependencies worked:
Code:
Add-AppxPackage -Path Microsoft.GamingApp_2408.1001.14.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -DependencyPath Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8_8.2310.30001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx, Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.33728.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx, Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.33519.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx4.
