Disable minimal download strategy using powershell

Question

I am trying to disable the minimal download strategy but the feature is not available even though the redirection persists.

This site is a users Blog site. The Blog link from the MySite redirects here: Blog/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/default.aspx

MDS is disabled at the top-level site. When I execute the following command:

Disable-SPFeature -identity "87294c72-f260-42f3-a41b-981a2ffce37a" -URL <weburl>/personal/<userid>/Blog

I get the following:

Disable-SPFeature : Feature '87294c72-f260-42f3-a41b-981a2ffce37a' is not activated at this scope.

Answer 1

First, I had to add my account in the User Policy for the Web application: CA -> Manage Web Application -> User Policy -> Add user

Second I tried the following commands and it worked:

$web = Get-SPWeb <site>
$web.EnableMinimalDownload = $false
$web.Update()
