[Bug]: Can not install Autodesk Programs after running Privacy.Sexy

[LuciferJensen]

Description

Hello there.
I've been running and using a de-bloated Windows 11 for a long time, but I wanted to re-install it, and start fresh... So I basically installed Windows 11, 23H2 and ran Privacy.Sexy and Winutil by Chris Titus, but after I ran both of them, when I tried to install Auto-cad 2025, an error occured, with the code number "1"...
So I deleted the current version of Windows and re-installed it again, but I first ran Chris Titus' script, and activated the default things, then I attempted to install Auto-cad again, and it worked perfectly.

How can the bug be recreated?

1. Install Privacy.Sexy.
2. Run the Standard script.
3. Attempt to install Autodesk's programs like Auto-cad 2025.

Operating system

Windows 11 Pro - 23H2

No response

Additional information

I did not install any other programs except Privacy.Sexy and the normal drivers for my GPU.
I installed and used the 0.13.5 version.

Thanks for very clear bug report.
This is unfortunately hard to test as I can not install Autodesk (requires sign-in for download URLs?).
Looking at the script file, these should not really interfere with any installation process.

As I cannot reproduce this, I can only ask you if you can help us find the root cause of this.
This is method I do to figure out what is the root cause when I have no clue what can be the reason:

1. Can you revert standard selection? Go to privacy.sexy -> Select Standard. Then Revert: Selected. This way we're sure that privacy.sexy causes this.
2. If we know this you can create a Standard (not-revert) script and then go with binary/bisect method:
   • Run half of the script. Can you install Autodesk? So this half is fine.
   • Split the rest of the script in two halves (you can just copy half of the script to another file).
   • Check which half causes this, once you figure out, revert them all (using method 1) and continue splitting in half until you find the script.

It would be very useful to community if you can figure this out and report back, then we can take an action and fix this. "Standard" should not have any side-effects.

Hi there.

Thank you for monitoring and replying to this Bug issue.

However, after I re-installed Windows again, and tried the Standard script again, the problem did not happen, but when I ran the Strict script, the problem happened, and it may be due to the removal of "Windows Web Experience Pack" and the removal of "Microsoft Store" and it's dependencies. The problem also occurs when I run the All script.

Maybe you can add a warning?

Also, to install Autodesk programs, you can try using and downloading the first installer for Autocad 2025 and the second installer. These links are the officially installer and links that are provided by Autodesk itself.
