It was unclear to me how this works. I will test later. But I removed everything I could from AppX support so most likely it won't work.

Host refresh lol. AppX eventually will be a viable package option, not just for Store.
There's no legitimate reason for NVIDIA releasing NVCPL as AppX, other than partner agreements. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

money. ms wants you to have an ms account so they can sell your data. im suprised EU hasnt said "we aint putting up with this s--t" yet.
NVCleanstall obviously has. its the worst case of barefaced f---ery from ms ive seen yet :mad:

NVCleanstall needs to fetch it and save it locally like snappy driver installer does.

wonder if they'll do it for w8.1 systems. you know how enthusiastic ms gets when they want to force you to upgrade.
hmm, eol 2023. maybe not.

No, because 7 or 8 users don't meet system requirements. Given the PC supply chain, MS needs another look at easing the rules. Just like the 7->10 upgrade path never expired.
 
Hell finally froze over :eek:

Rufus 3.17 is now digitally signed for SecureBoot!!
https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs

Secure Boot compatibility

  • UEFI:NTFS is compatible with Secure Boot and has been signed by Microsoft.
  • You can find Secure Boot signed binaries (for x86_64, x86_32 and ARM64) in the uefi-ntfs.img archive of Rufus.
  • Note however that, due to Microsoft arbitrary restrictions regarding GPLv3 the only drivers that can currently be used with UEFI:NTFS in a Secure Boot environment are the GPLv2 licensed ntfs-3g ones. Especially, the NTFS and exFAT drivers from EfiFs, which are derived from GRUB 2.0, and therefore GPLv3, can not be submitted to Microsoft for signing.
  • Finally, Microsoft's current Secure Boot signing policies require additional validation for 32-bit ARM, therefore the 32-bit ARM binaries are not Secure Boot signed. This does not affect 64-bit ARM (a.k.a. ARM64/AARCH64/AA64) for which we have fully Secure Boot signed binaries.
 
tried installing intels CP manually, failed, 50% chance it could have been pebkac. hopefully NVCleanstall will work correctly.
LTSC(1809) is gonna be FoL then, perhaps new thread can cover adding Store to LTSB and C, might need nuhi's say so if it involves a 3rd party tool.
For intel it looks like you need to install some dependencies besides the control panel. For nvidia no.

NVIDIA:

NVIDIA now includes the control panel within the setup. Check out this post from an nvidia employee.

To confirm you can open the setup with 7-zip and browse the Display.Driver folder. In the NVCPL folder there is an .appx file which has the identical hash to the NVIDIACorp.NVIDIAControlPanel_8.1.961.0_x64__56jybvy8sckqj.Appx file downloaded from the Store. I tested it and setup installs the uwp control panel automatically.

About NVCleanstall if you tick tweak to install uwp control panel it uses powershell to install the app. I have tested it and a powershell window opens. And this post seems to confirm that.

For those who want to install manually, just download the .appx from the adguard site and use the command in powershell:

Add-AppxPackage -Path NVIDIACorp.NVIDIAControlPanel_8.1.961.0_x64__56jybvy8sckqj.Appx

Of course this is just an example, you have to change the name of the .appx as the name of the app changes.

Neither Host refresh nor clean installation was required :p I found a workaround :)

Congrats, you're sideloading :cool: . I was referring to host refresh if someone remove the UWP frameworks by mistake.

There was a comment made on win-get's github, about free Store downloads requiring a login, and their devs agreed it ought to be available without a login. If they fix it, then we can script downloads by package name without Store or adguard URL's.

For those not into PowerShell, keeping the DesktopInstaller will allow one-click installs using File Explorer.

While the app's revision will change over time, its hash (_56jybvy8sckqj) is permanently assigned.

But I removed it :p I removed everything I could related to UWP apps. The main cause of the uwp control panel not working in my case was a driver related to Containers because I removed Containers but restoring the driver and its registry entry makes the uwp control panel work.

I posted more details here.

The UI of nvidia's uwp control panel contained in the dch driver is identical to the one contained in the standard driver maybe that's why it doesn't depend on so many components of the UWP framework.
 
One way to go about it is using non-DCH drivers, but that's been getting harder and harder as time goes on. Another way, which I find preferable, is to get your hands on some OEM xml licenses (Dell is a good place to look) so you can have the UWP apps preinstalled 100% offline and working.
