Change Device Family?

[NotStupidAhaAha]

Found this on Twitter:
Cortana team uses Windows::System:rofile::AnalyticsInfo:eviceFamily for homegrown feature control (e.g. Windows.8828080). This can be overriden if DeviceFamilyOverride velocity is flipped on (15812352), then reads reg values DeviceFamilyOverride, DeviceFormFactorOverride

You can also do old fashion licence policy editing and change kernel-devicefamily. Setting it to 8828080 causes quite a few inbox app and shell changes.
With this, I can get the DF.
public string DeviceFamily { get; }
How do I edit it?
I guess after that, I can at least dump the assets and if game owned, the executable.

I guess not.
Cortana lives in shell or app OS, which is a different VM from the gameOS.

Sorry, this isn't directly related to the XB1. I didn't mean that. I meant changing your PC's ID to Xbox so it's like one, then you can download Xbox apps.

Well that still doesn’t let you dump Xbox games. Xbox XVD/XVC encryption is a hardware thing and it’s absolutely not possible to decrypt on a PC.

Well, it can for EAppX files. Not talking about the XVC files, I think the packages will be encrypted by the licence.

Not dump. The MS Store will give you the packages to install, if UWP it'll open, dump, and there you have it, the first 'probably' UWP dumped game.

With XVC Xbox-only games, not sure but it still might not work. Also, assets aren't encrypted. Only the executable. I tried this with an EAppX and was able to copy stuff.
