Un-check “I want to help make the installation better.” Wonder at this point how Windows 11 is checking for updates for the next couple of minutes considering you have no internet. What Paul’s Hamtastic4 rig might look like if he erased the IDs, attempted to erase the name, and got bored and posted the screenshot with Hamtastic4 very obviously the machine nameĭisconnect your internet.

You can extract the DLL from the non-microsoft served file and look at the SHA1 an SHA256 digital signature which claim Microsoft signed them but you know what, I’m not a security expert and am not going to claim a signed by Microsoft Windows digital sig couldn’t be spoofed somehow (like maybe there are letters there in a different country character set that I can’t determine) – use at own risk obviously. That’s the build 1809 release of appraiserres.dll – if you have the installer disappearing and can get me the steps to get that one DLL from MS, let me know the best way as I’d like to keep this all MS-served and not have to trust anyone but them for file integrity. You can also go through the steps of downloading an older build from MS, but I ended up going a different route. This last link, it’s not served from Microsoft, so if you can avoid it, do so. In my particular case the Windows 10 steps listed in the Reddit post didn’t work and I had to download this file here.
