Missing Blank Site template SharePoint 2013

When setting up site collections, I mostly use the Blank Site Template. But in SharePoint 2013, there's a big "surprise": no Blank Site Template. Neither for Site Collections nor for sub sites:

There are two ways to enable blank site.

1)Create blank sites by using PowerShall

• Run the command Get-SPWebTemplate to get the full list of the available templates. You can see, the Blank Site template is still there, and it's ID is STS#1:
• From this point, creating a new site collection is as easy as this:
• $template = Get-SPWebTemplate "STS#1"
  New-SPSite -Url "<URL for the new site collection>" -OwnerAlias "<domain\user>" -Template $template

2)you can enable this site template for the UI too. Just go to the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\1033\XML, and open theWEBTEMP.XML file. There, you'll find a line like this:

• <Configuration ID="1" Title="Blank Site" Hidden="TRUE"ImageUrl="/_layouts/15/images/stbs.png?rev=23" Description="A blank site for you to customize based on your requirements." DisplayCategory="Collaboration" AllowGlobalFeatureAssociations="False" > </Configuration>

just change the highlighted tag from Hidden="TRUE" to Hidden="FALSE", save the file, and that's it. next time you want to create a new site, you'll get the Blank Site Template.
