"SubscribedContentEnabled" may be from below if it has changed.

Turn On or Off App Suggestions in Start in Windows 10

It is indeed the "SubscribedContent-338388Enabled"=dword:00000000 entry, so I will just REMOVE it from the REG file.

"DolbyLaboratories.DolbyAccess_rz1tebttyb220" looks to be for the app below from the Microsoft Store.

It is for a FREE Trial of Dolby Atmos for Headphones or to Setup a Dolby Atmos Device. I can therefore LEAVE that as set in the REG file.

Thanks for the reply, links, and information, it is appreciated.

OK, it appears to be for a FREE Trial of Dolby Atmos for Headphones or to Setup a Dolby Atmos Device. I can therefore LEAVE that in the REG file as "DolbyLaboratories.DolbyAccess_rz1tebttyb220"=dword:00000000.

Hello @RickC,

Wow, that was some time ago. I had to re-read the entire thread to refresh my memory.

To answer your question, no... I didn't get an answer.

It took me a while to remember why I didn't pursue this and then I realised that the re-appearance of 'suggested apps' hasn't been an issue for me. I've just checked one of my most up-to-date devices and the 2 reg keys are still there... so I may have done something else that I cannot now remember.

Sorry... I doubt that this helps...

I appreciate the time and effort that you took to re-read the entire thread and investigate, THANK YOU.

Hopefully @TairikuOkami will be available to give us an answer.

Hello @RickC,

I did try and investigate for a solution to the two REG Delete entries, but I couldn't seem to find anything relevant. Perhaps @TairikuOkami did NOT actually apply those changes in the end because they produced a problem and he didn't amend his post.

I might have another look at this over the weekend.

Hi, last time I applied all settings to disable silent installation of random apps, Windows still installed them.
Those 2 reg entries contained some of them, as the name suggests SuggestedApps and Subscriptions.
Once I removed those, Windows no longer installed anything by itself, manual install works just fine.

Thanks for the reply and information @TairikuOkami, it is appreciated.

I will go ahead and ADD these REG files to my customisation files . . .

OK. I spent some time investigating this and decided to post a follow up in case anyone is interested. This appears to relate to Dynamically Inserted Tiles, so I am quite happy that it can be Disabled in my REG file.
