A PSAppDeployToolkit v4.2 Win32 app that gives Autopilot devices a UK keyboard, UK date/currency formats, UK home location, optional UK time zone and instant startup apps, without changing the display language away from en-US. Every setting, the full script walkthrough and the Intune configuration.

After upgrading to ConfigMgr 2409, copying or creating applications can fail with a duplicate-key SQL error on CI_DocumentStore. The identity reseed that fixes it, and the precautions to take before running it.
