alf9872000 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hi, With my PC running Windows 10 Pro, i use a script to clean folders, recycle bin, automatically each time the PC is restarted. I use the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to do that; the script (.bat file) is placed in C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown. Example of lines in the script: RD /S /Q "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp" RD /S /Q "C:\Windows\Prefetch" RD /S /Q "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" RD /S /Q "C:\Windows\temp" RD /S /Q "C:\$RECYCLE.BIN" I have a new laptop under Windows 11 Home; i have enabled the gpedit.msc, but the script doen't work; folders and recycle bin do not go empty. Any idea ? Thanks. Akaneharuka and kkwong7878 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Akaneharuka Posted December 23, 2022 Solution Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) since Windows 11 Home ignores some group policies. MS restricts choices, e.g. Windows S and Home. Best thing to do is to upgrade to Windows Pro. https://superuser.com/questions/1758761/schedule-a-task-to-run-before-computer-goes-to-hibernate Edited December 23, 2022 by Akaneharuka alf9872000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc71520 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 You need at least 11 Pro to enjoy the Group Policy features. Unfortunately, 11 Home and Group Policy do Not get well. alf9872000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf9872000 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Thanks for answers. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5 A517-52. After booting on a bootable USB key, the installation setup asks where to install Windows but no partition is visible ? Thanks for your help.

Akaneharuka Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 @alf9872000 I guess your CPU is new version, ← (Sorry I do not know how to say it in English XD ) Use Rufus to create bootable USB and it will be ok. https://rufus.ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf9872000 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 @Akaneharuka I already tried with Rufus; don't work; i think have found the solution. My processor is an 11th generation (Intel Tiger Lake) and it is necessary to install the IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) driver. You must copy the folder which contains the IRST files on the bootable USB key. During installation, at the stage where you have to select a partition (which is not visible), you have to load the IRST driver to make the partition appear. I will test it.

You can also change your version of windows using the MAS script - https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/releases. I've updated my windows version to Enterprise as all features work well. alf9872000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf9872000 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 @nsaner2006 1. To use the Group Policy, you need a Pro version of Windows (i now have a Pro version; it's OK) 2. About the problem of 'invisible' partition during installation of Windows, it's solved. It is necessary to install the IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) driver; without this, the installation is impossible, either with [Windows] Media Creation Tool, Rufus or Ventoy. nsaner2006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
