===== Remove Power Plans =====

  * For whatever reason, Windows likes to revert to High Performance (or another program switches it) instead of keeping a custom power plan
  * The solution to this is to simply remove all power plans that aren't the custom one

==== Show Plans ====

****

  powercfg /list

==== Ultimate Power Plan ====

  * [[https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/107613-add-remove-ultimate-performance-power-plan-windows-10-a.html|Windows 10 Help Forums]]

  powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

==== Remove Plans ====

  * Replace ''x'' with the ''GUID'' of the plan listed with the above command

  powercfg -delete x

  powercfg -delete 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

===== Prevent Driver Changes =====

==== Notes ====

  * To be done after a proper driver is manually installed
  * This ensures Windows Update nor anything else can replace installed drivers for specific devices unattended
  * Additional entries need to add a new number (the value after ''/v'')
  * The device ID can be acquired from Device Manager and should be pasted as-is (no extra slashes)

==== Base Policies ====

  reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDs" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f

  reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDsRetroactive" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f

==== Format ====

  * Do **not** copy/paste these as-is; only here for reference
  * Adjust to specific devices as-needed

==== Add Prevent Policy ====

****

  reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs" /v "#" /t "REG_SZ" /d "PCI\VEN_XXXX&DEV_XXXX&SUBSYS_XXXXXXXX&REV_XX" /f

==== ADB ====

  * :!: ADB drivers are automatically installed by Oculus
  * :!: For general ''.apk'' installs and ''adb shell'' commands, use SideQuest instead
  * :!: For sideloading firmware updates, SideQuest cannot be used, and thus will need the ''platform-tools'' package below

==== Backup/Restore ====

=== Installer ===

  * Let Oculus download its 5GB+ installer
  * While it is installing, backup the ''C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache'' folder
  * :!: The backup must be done after the download, and while Oculus is installing
  * If restoring, transfer 5GB+ to ''C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache'' and start the Oculus installer
  * :!: If an updated Oculus client is available, it will download instead of restoring

=== Client ===

  * Go to the ''Oculus\Support'' folder
  * If there's 15 folders, backup everything except ''oculus-dreamdeck-nux'', ''oculus-touch-tutorial'', and ''oculus-worlds''
  * :!: 12 folders should be included in the backup and it should be around 605MB if archived
  * This has been true with versions pre-V12, V18-V30
  * For restoring, stop the Oculus service through command or Debug Tool, delete the existing 12 folders, restore the 12 folders from backup, and start the Oculus service

<code>%OculusBase%\Support</code>

== Prevent Client Updates ==

  * This sets the update channel to something unknown, so the Oculus client can't compare its version to check for updates
  * :!: To revert this, it may be enough to toggle the ''Public Test Channel'' option from Oculus

  * ''LIVE'' Stable
  * ''PublicTest'' = Public Test Channel/PTC
  * ''NOUPD8'' = Some nonsense value

  reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus\Config" /v "CoreChannel" /t "REG_SZ" /d "NOUPD8" /f
