After Running Set-Additional.cmd Settings Network & Internet Won't Open

Question

After Running Set-Additional.cmd Settings Network & Internet Won't Open

KedarWolf opened this issue 4 years ago · 1 comments

It works before running the script but after I get a stack based buffer overrun error linked in the picture below.

Also, when I click on Devices in Settings it just closes.

Edit
Added a missing quote-mark in line 3 of first script and clarified the solution.

Certain per-user services are required to run in order for the "Network & Internet" immersive control panel to show
This issue emerged with 20H1 Build 19041 and continues with 20H2 Build 19042.

** Test if yours is broken**
Paste into Windows explorer address bar or run in a Command Prompt: explorer ms-settings:network-status

== Two steps to fix this issue==

Manual Step 1

Open Regedit
Check for and delete any "UserServiceFlags" values in these three keys
(If the values are not there, move on to Step 2)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MessagingService
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OneSyncSvc
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WpnService

PowerShell - Step 2
Save the following script as 'per-user-fix.ps1' preferably using a better text editor than plain Windows Notepad. Something like the free Notepad++.
Run the script with Administrator privileges.
A restart is required.

Background to Issue and Future Problem Avoidance

Background
Seven per-user services disabled by 'Set-Additional.ps1'

*CDPUserSvc* << You can safely set this to Manual and still see the "Network & Internet" panel
*OneSyncSvc* << (!) From Build 19041, this service must remain "Automatic" to see "Network & Internet" panel
*PimIndexMaintenanceSvc* << OK 
*UnistoreSvc* << OK 
*UserDataSvc*<< OK 
*RetailDemo* << I don't consider this per-user, but I could be wrong. I leave mine set to Manual.
*WpnUserService* <<  (!) From Build 19041, this service must remain "Automatic" to see "Network & Internet" panel

Goal
What you're aiming for:
Includes all the per-user services I'm aware of up to 20H2 Build 19042.

Note:
(1) I only tested disabling the four per-user services shown below.
(2) The two per-user services set as "Automatic" and "Running" are required for "Network & Internet" immersive control panel.
(3) I disable Clipboard User Service which Set-Additional.ps1 leaves alone. I don't need it, but you might want to keep it.

Future Problem Avoidance
Either fix the the per-user services section in 'Set-Additional.ps1' or
Delete the per-user services section in 'Set-Additional.ps1' and use the AlternativeOnline.ps1 script provided below.

AlternativeOnline.ps1 script
Save the following script as 'AlternativeOnline.ps1' preferably using a better text editor than plain Windows Notepad. Something like the free Notepad++.
Run the script with Administrator privileges.
A restart is required.

Note
The below script contains code to disable the Clipboard User Service
Delete the word "cbdhsvc" in two places if you want to keep that service active.
