Troubleshooting Guide


Installation Issues

Most common causes:
  1. Defender / Tamper Protection still on — disable both in Windows Security before running
  2. Third-party antivirus running — disable or uninstall it completely before the playbook run
  3. Windows Updates not fully applied — install all pending updates and reboot before running AME
If a specific task errors and you can read the task name in the log, report it on GitHub Issues with the full error message.
This occurs if registry values are in an unexpected format. JarvisOS v30.05.26 normalizes all REG_DWORD values to decimal format to prevent this.If you see this error, ensure you are using the latest release: JarvisOS_30.05.26.apbx.
The Windows Time service (w32tm) requires an explicit start after some configurations. Run:
net start w32tm
w32tm /resync /force
This was fixed in v30.05.26 with an explicit service start action in the build.
These are transient memory violations that occur during the first boot after mass service deletion — SvcHost is merging process groups mid-restart.Fix: Simply restart the machine. The errors are self-resolving and do not indicate a corrupted install.

Browser Issues

Zen Browser uses a GitHub release as its download source. If the installer fails, download it manually from the Zen Browser GitHub releases page and run zen.installer.exe directly.
After install, Windows may still reference Edge (even though it is removed). Set your default browser:
Settings → Apps → Default Apps → search for your browser → set all relevant file types
Or right-click any .html file → Open with → Choose another app → your browser → set as default.

Developer Tool Issues

Verify Hyper-V and Virtual Machine Platform are enabled:
# Check features
Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | Where-Object { $_.FeatureName -match "Hyper-V|VirtualMachinePlatform" }

# Enable if needed
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
Reboot after enabling. Then:
wsl --set-default-version 2
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
WinGet is preserved by JarvisOS. If it is not found in PATH:
# Check if it is installed
Get-Command winget -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# If missing, install via App Fetch
app-fetch deploy --target winget
VS Code’s extension marketplace requires internet access. Verify your network connection and DNS resolution:
nslookup marketplace.visualstudio.com
If DNS fails, the network stack may not be fully initialized. Restart and try again, or manually configure your preferred DNS (1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9) in Network Settings.

System Tools Issues

Ensure the AtlasDesktop files are in place:
Test-Path "C:\Windows\AtlasDesktop"
Test-Path "C:\Windows\AtlasModules"
If these paths don’t exist, the maintenance tools were not installed. Re-run the INSTALL_MAINTENANCE_TOOLS.bat from C:\Program Files\JarvisOS Tools\.
The Print Spooler is disabled by default. Enable it:
ame-settings-cli set spooler --state on
Or via Services (services.msc): find Print Spooler → Start → set Startup Type to Manual.Disable again when done printing:
ame-settings-cli set spooler --state off
net start w32tm
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"pool.ntp.org" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:YES /update
w32tm /resync /force

Still Stuck?

Open a GitHub Issue with:
  • Your Windows 11 build number (winver)
  • JarvisOS version (e.g., 30.05.26)
  • The full error message or log from AME Wizard
  • What you were doing when the issue occurred
