[EX-100 v2.4.5.0] [Win10 v19H1, 20H1, 20H2] Intel Graphics Command Center won't launch, hangs on initial blue screen

On all 3 versions of windows, my reduced builds have working Microsoft Store apps installed, and I can successfully download, install and run apps from the store, but the Intel Graphics Command Center won't run!, it loads the blue start screen when I launch it, that says intel and has scrolling dots, but that's it, wont progress any further.

The Nvidia control center, and Dell Waves MaxxAudio Pro apps also from the store, are able to run, can't figure out why the intel graphics command center won't, help would be greatly appreciated!!

(versions of windows are 19042.685, 19041.685, and 18362.1256)

hi FBConan

Be carefull when deleting National Language Support 
i should not remove

---- National Language Support (European - Western)
--- National Language Support (United States)
---- National Language Support (Various NLS)
and there could be others

Thanks icy007, I appreciate the suggestion! I'll try rebuilding the iso with that feature enabled, and let you know if it helps!

icy007 I found the national language support options in the experimental tab in system, I have not previously selected anything in that tab in any of my builds, do I need to put checks in the boxes of the ones I want to keep?

@FBConan: No.

Okay thanks guys, I guess that's not my issue then, as I haven't disabled any of the options in Experimental. Hmm.... Not sure why it won't load... I've tried building iso's with winSXS folders in tact, and removed, both with the same no go result.

The newest DCH Intel Graphics Driver is installed?

yes, the latest DCH intel display drivers, from intel's website. There's another build I've been using built by another person, made with winreducer, that's fairly light, a 1.7 GB iso, with winSXS folders cleared, version 19042.662, similar footprint to my build, but the intel software works on that build. goes past the initial loading screen, to a license screen that you have to accept or decline, then you can use the software.

So it could be that it is not winreducer at all. Install a non-reduced Windows on your hardware and see if you get the same error.

Installed clean MS Windows 10 iso 19041.685, tested intel control app through store, works fine. WinReducer image is lacking something, just not sure what

I was hoping someone else here would've run into the same problem and figured out the solution to fix it. I'll keep trying different settings.

hi FBConan
It is possible that microsoft replaces your driver with one of his own.
i had this problem with an AMD driver.
So  make an iso without updates and try it

Hello guys,

I confirm since MS moved the Intel control center to DCH architecture, there are troubles to correctly support it, as we usually do ... but this is possible by keeping more components like all Modern UI Apps - Framework components (I didn't narrow them down) and the entire net framework ... this should be a starting point.

To be honest, I gave up with Intel integrated solutions (internet browser navigation and vmware player slow downs), I simply moved to NVIDIA (GT1030) which have better compromise between power and consumption (AMD have also good solutions) ... and a simple driver cpl. But maybe the future Intel GPUs will be even better and I will be back to it ... you knows

Thanks for the suggestion, It didn't fix the problem unfortunately, but that DDU is a great tool to have! Still working on figuring it out...

I think I found the solution!, I made a couple builds last night with the registry optimization option disabled, and the intel command center app successfully launched and functioned properly. This took a while to figure out.. hopefully this info helps someone else out  Time to give my sd cards and hard drives a rest!
