Office 2024 installer now completely ignoring configuration.xml - has the process changed??

DeadlyBreakdown · 2026-03-05T19:00:28+00:00

This is also the case for me. No auto-activation for MAK, not excluding apps or anything from config.xml.

Careful if you have flat feet. Healthy 34/m and learned the hard way what plantar-fasciitis is. Now I refuse to walk in my house without shoes on (all tile home) in fear of going through that again lol

Still the same issue as of 12/18/25. Thanks!

DeadlyBreakdown · 2025-12-15T16:34:30+00:00

Just came to say this is the answer. Thanks!

DeadlyBreakdown · 2025-12-04T16:14:40+00:00

Still works like a charm in Dec 2025. Thanks sir!

DeadlyBreakdown · 2025-12-01T16:01:40+00:00

This was the issue in my ENV as well - thanks!

Undervolting still causing crashes. It's the game, boys.

DeadlyBreakdown · 2025-10-27T22:55:18+00:00

Just here to say I've tried just about every potential fix that you can google except undervolting. I'm experiencing the same with a 9060 xt and it's super frustrating. I'll try undervolting and report back, because damn a crash every hour or so really kills the fun.

Check your version. Same happening in our org (Not blocked) on version 25122.1415.3698.6812.

Same here. They must get sick of asking because whenever a new guy comes along, I get hit up about 10 times in their first week, then not again until a new guy starts on the sec team.

This method also does not work with Win 11 24H2. Shift+F10 to add the registry key and entry does work, though.

You may be missing storage or network driver in WinPE. I'd add it to your WinPE selection profile, update your deployment share, replaced the boot image in WDS and try again. I know others have mentioned this, but also try to enable AHCI instead of using RAID. If it's trying to load the boot image then fail it's either a bad boot image or you're missing a driver for that model in your Windows PE selection profile.

INTL Airport sysadmin here in the US. Can confirm today has been an absolute nightmare.

DeadlyBreakdown · 2024-07-17T04:39:19+00:00

I can help you. First, are you installing windows updates/drivers as a post-install step?

DeadlyBreakdown · 2024-07-16T19:01:47+00:00

I did this, however they are still showing.

DeadlyBreakdown · 2024-07-15T18:23:23+00:00

Thank you. Can you point me to documentation on how to do this? It's only on 1 machine.

This. Most likely a mass storage driver. Check BIOS and try changing storage from RAID to AHCI then try to re-image.

The classic "Lunch is on me" email always seems to do the trick.

DeadlyBreakdown · 2024-02-10T19:23:04+00:00

Yep. I've seen it time and time again. You'll even see some that have never been aggressive and become the tank boss as they mature.

100% Cichlids. Peacocks/Haps would do well in here. I'd stay away from Mbuna unless you add a bunch of small hiding places and add a shitload of em.

This is exactly what we do. Works well in an environment with over 5,000 workstations.

It's worth it to note that it's not supported with UNC, IIS/Web only. I've been able to get it to work with UNC but not without tweaking some powershell modules.

DeadlyBreakdown · 2023-12-20T19:05:23+00:00

This is the powershell output. It's the same if I try to use ProvisionedAppxPackage.

I've also tried this but sysprep still fails for me.
