SuperMSConfig 1.5.1 / A100

Looks like Microsoft totally broke the PS Get-AppxPackage command ith the 24H2 update! 😤 Even trying to run it with Invoke-Command just blows up with the dreaded 'Type initializer for Module threw an exception' error. Can anyone confirm this? As a result, the app management/Microsoft Cleanup Companion plugin isn't working right now either in SuperMSConfig. We rely on the Get-AppxPackage command in the app to dig deep into Windows and identify all those pre-installed apps (you know, the ones cluttering your system). This cmdlet is key for listing, managing, and even removing "bloatware"

• Added New category for Windows 11 Personalization
• App startup times have been improved. The first launch takes longer, but subsequent starts are now faster. If you don't want to use the Copilot plugin, you can delete it from the plugins folder for an extra speed boost
• The UI has been slightly refreshed and the color scheme optimized
• I have also tested the app on Windows 10 22H2 and can confirm partial support. If the app doesn't start, consider installing the WebView2 Evergreen Runtime, or alternatively, you can choose to stop using the "PluginClipilot" in SuperMSConfig. To do this, simply delete the mentioned plugin from the plugins folder, and the app should start.
• Template integration (external configurations) has been improved. Now, clicking the "+" button gives a much cleaner overview
• Templates under the "App" category (e.g., old Bloatynosy Classic config) have been optimized
• A feature to check for app updates has been added
• Plugin loading has been separated from the msconfig tools, meaning the msconfig tools load when you click on the main menu, making things smoother
• Versioning has been slightly revised. The app may adopt a calendar-based or even feature-based versioning system in the future
• Compatibility with xd-AntiSpy configurations has been improved
• About window has been refreshed
• Minor bugs in the summary and result display have been fixed.
• Code has been cleaned up and streamlined in several areas
• Numerous smaller bugs have been fixed.

Listing all the changes would be too much to handle here, so i'm only highlighting what meets the eye. Under the hood, almost everything has been rebuilt ;)

• The entire app core, including the UI, has been elevated and revamped. The UI is now fine-tuned to provide results in the simplest, most streamlined way possible. Tweaks and settings are displayed in individual "bubble" panels, offering all essential info at a glance, with an option to hand over the tweak to the Copilot for further clarification if needed
• Now you Navigate directly through categories or use the back/next buttons, similar to the Windows 11 OOBE experience. Tweaks within a category can now be enabled or disabled with a single click from the top-right corner
• A new search function has been added to the plugins menu for quicker access

Here’s the new SuperMSConfig, which is evolving into a more "intelligent" MSConfig tool. With the support of Microsoft Copilot, you can now ask questions about each setting. So this is the first real "PC Manager" that seamlessly integrates Copilot - every change is 100% transparent and can even be explained by Copilot itself!

• The UI has been fully redesigned with a modern look and feel. Don’t worry, it’s not a web app, even though it might look like one. SuperMSConfig no longer tries to imitate the traditional MSConfig but has evolved into a hybrid tool-combining the functionality of MSConfig with a post-OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) wizard that helps you customize Windows 11 to your liking
• Now compatible with Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 24H2, offering broader configuration options and enhanced external mapping of sources and settings
• Plugin support has been expanded, and a Microsoft Copilot plugin is now included by default. This allows seamless integration, letting you pass the SuperMSConfig log to Copilot for each setting or configuration if something isn't clear. So every setting, every aspect can basically be checked for correctness
• You can now easier map guides from websites or external apps to streamline your setup process. Check out the "source" folder for template files that make it easy to integrate additional configurations
• The apps classification system for settings, -here Not Configured, Good, and Bad- has been refined. This allows Copilot to provide clearer, more accurate responses based on the current configuration state. (The log file is always located under the results window)
• App now starts faster thanks to a new wrapper window
• You can navigate through a brief tutorial in just four steps using the "Next" button, which initializes the main UI with the first click
• Added Full view feature (just click the small icon on the left)
• The included plugins are showcased in the bottom area, but they can also be accessed directly through the main menu via the Copilot button
• Numerous code enhancements have been made, necessitating the cleanup of the old code branch. The complete code will soon be pushed after some refactoring

Build 1.3.1.19 fixes the issue that prevented the Copilot plugin from being called up
