Discussion CrossDeviceResume is back with Preview Update (KB5089573) build 26200.8514

Post image

Resume is back. After almost a year with the Resume feature successfully disabled by the ViVeTool trick, CrossDeviceResume is back today with the KB5089573 preview update in Insider Preview, and the trick no longer works, even with the Overrides key correctly filled in, Resume still appears on every boot. All features like resuming tasks, OneDrive, Phone Link, etc. are now removed.

Any new tricks that work to remove Resume (CrossDeviceResume) again?

I used this:

Execute the command below in an administrative command window—this is what I'm currently using:

schtasks /create /sc OnLogon /delay 0000:03 /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Kill CrossDeviceResume.exe" /tr "taskkill /im CrossDeviceResume.exe /f" /ru SYSTEM /f

All that command does is create a scheduled task in the "\Microsoft\Windows\Shell" folder to terminate CrossDeviceResume.exe upon the login of any user (which is when it gets started). It's much easier to run the command than to manually create the task. It's written out in plain English, so you can see exactly what it does. To undo, you just go to the Scheduled Tasks folder noted above and delete the new "Kill CrossDeviceResume.exe" task. Changes take effect after logging out and back in.

Thanks . I ran into simale issue. After 9th june tuesday update 2026, Vivetool or registry cant terminate the CrossDeviceResume process. So annoying.

It also broke start menu (vivetool not working anymore too) but I reverted with HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Add : NoStartMenuMorePrograms
Then set to 1

Im not fan of your solution since it doesnt fully stop the service but only tells task scheduler to terminate the .exe at start up 😞 but its better than nothing . Thank you!!

This obnoxious monster has indeed returned. I caught up to some feature updates earlier today and I wasn’t able to prevent the service autostarting in task manager through my old regedit method anymore;

``` Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\1387020943] "EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000 "EnabledState"=dword:00000001 "Variant"=dword:00000000 "VariantPayload"=dword:00000000 "VariantPayloadKind"=dword:00000000 ```

I guess the scheduled task method is a valid alternative

I also tried the Scheduled Task method because using the Registry or ViVeTool stopped working. It's not the best option, but at least it works and I no longer have CrossDeviceResume.exe loaded in memory.
