    As you can see there is immediately a problem with the first application because the "InstallLocation" field is empty. I don't know if it's normal so I'm looking on the internet ...

    I'm sorry it's the translator's fault. I wanted to hear from everyone, not just you. However I tried to reinstall it. I found this c-runtime-packages-desktop-bridge, it looks like the same version.
    Uninstall Apps in Windows 10-immagine.png
    But as soon as I ran it he told me that a newer version was installed.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I tried to re-register it but it gives an error because it doesn't find the "manifest" I think.

    Code:
    Add-AppxPackage : Impossibile trovare il percorso 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' perché non esiste.
In riga:1 car:68

    then i tried to remove it but the PackageUserInformation is changed to "staged"...

    @Brink

    Shawn, In Windows 11, I've tried both the Command Prompt and the Power Shell methods to get rid of Get Started, which mysteriously appears only in the Start All Apps list, not on the Apps & Features list. Is there a secret to ending Get Started?

    I found the first problem.
    I put it onto my relocated desktop: "D:\Pie & tea\Relocated desktop\CleanWA_0.1.3Beta_.cmd"
    I double-clicked on it. After four seconds, it attempted to run as an administrator but failed.
    I replaced your -verb RunAs line with the following line, and it worked.

    (PowerShell start """%~f0""" -verb RunAs & Exit /B)

    thanks Matthew,

    I tried to create a directory like your "pie & tea" and put the line as you did but it doesn't work for me. (neither my code nor yours).

    Can you send me the complete script (which you edited) so I can check it better?

    I have a test.cmd file in "C: \Users\fposc\Desktop\Pie & tea" which looks like this:
    Code:
    @echo off

pause

(PowerShell start """%~f0""" -verb RunAs & Exit /B)

pause

goto :eof
    but it does not work

    @einstein1969, I forgot that a script can never run as an administrator as long as the name of the script or the containing folder contains any of the following three special characters:

    @
    ^
    &

    Yes it's a bug.

    But I found a workaround.

    Code:
    (Fsutil Dirty Query %SystemDrive%>Nul)||(powershell.exe -c "Start -Verb RunAs cmd /c, ("^""%~f0"^"" -replace '[ &^]', '^$0')" & Exit)
    It does not start directly as administrator, but if you double click after it does it by itself.

    i tried with this folder, with all poisonous characters :
    Code:
    C:\Users\fposc\Desktop\Pie & tea % @ ' $ ^
    and it seems to work.

    Your workaround does not work with the file name below:

    (ABC).cmd

    The solution is to add a pair of brackets as below:

    Code:
    (Fsutil Dirty Query %SystemDrive%>Nul)||(PowerShell "SaPs -Verb RunAs CMD /C, ("^""%~f0"^""-replace '[(& ^)]','^$0')"&Exit)
