hey winter,

i realized that after using winreducer (i dont exactly know what component is causing it), the shortcuts at Start are missing.

The *.exe files are still all present at system32, and when i start them everything works.

EDIT: both programs dont work !

EDIT2: never mind the first edit. both programs work only shortcuts are missing !!!

hmm ok,

i will try testing it again when i have time and try to find whats causing the problem for me

i got it:

EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup

is causing it.

I checked it and winreducer just removed files from windows\winsxs but still the shortcut disappear


both shortcuts are normally stored here:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

tested it again. and just to mention it.

starting both exe files from system32 is working. only the shortcuts are missing after using ONLY EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (install.wim) from an clean/untouched iso

just to get it at the right topic too:

hey winter, i maybe found somthing interesting about the problem with snipping tool and sticky notes.
when i install from an untouched iso those 2 shortcuts are at

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories

but when i check the .wim file at 

ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories

those shortcuts are missing.

i would say that during installation or after they are created by a batch or registry


EDIT: and something breakes that when using the expert option

Hey guys!

This thread needs to be reopened becaues in [EX-70 - v1.8.6.0][6.1.7601] snipping tool is missing once again. Just to note, I saw a similar thread for EX100 and winter closed it over there so maybe with the long awaited updated of EX70 1.9.x.x it is already working, but if someone of the VIP's could please check this?

All the best and kind regards,
Markus
