Hi, I need to make my Windows 11 ISO with least amount of features/components/services for higher performance just like Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC. But sadly, Microsoft did not release Enterprise LTSC for Windows 11. I know there's normal Enterprise Edition, but that is not light enough. This is why I want to make my Windows 11 ISO Enterprise LTSC. Is it possible to make Windows 11 ISO with least amount of features/components like Windows 10 LTSC?
No, you don't need to do that, you want to do that. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB/C is not meant to receive any feature updates, but provide a "stable" (cumulative and security updates) experience for Long Term (Servicing Branch/Channel), hence the name.
>Whatever. I still want to remove most of unneeded features/components/services for performance. You want to castrate it to make it perform better ? ...... Why ? ...... What are you hoping to achieve ?
I'm trying to do this thing for an offline image (WIM). Not for host. Obviously, I'll test the thing in a VM before testing on host machine. Also why? I don't want the services installed that I do not even use.
Thank you . If your realy serious about it .......... it would be sensible to do benchmark tests before you change anything ......... and again after you do each change ......... to see if the changes realy did improve performance . Because otherwise the performance improvements might only be in your perception .
Isn't this supposed to be like that? More services running, less free memory, less performance. More components, less free hard drive space, less performance. More features, less free hard drive space, less performance. That's why I have to use a slim Windows OS for more performance. I'm not using a low-end PC. But when I play games, it overheats when I use Windows 11 due to a lot of unneeded services running.
Mostly it's the less pre-loaded stuff, the slower the system responds when the stuff needs to be loaded. How low diskspace are you currently running on? Same as above. The services running in the background are most likely not the reason it overheats.
1. For example, which pre-loaded stuff can slow the system down? 2. I have 465GB harddrive. With 249GB being the one with system installed while I use other drive for backups. 3. Aren't background services supposed to use memory? This should mean less free memory and more overheats.
If you want a lite OS, I suggest you stick with Windows 10 or 8.1/7 whatever suits you. Windows 11 is still newer and lot's bugs still in there, not a good idea to slim it down because it's difficult to troubleshoot on a slimmed OS.
Well, I think I have to use Windows 10 LTSC 2019. Because there're some reasons: 1. Windows 8.1 does not have GPU drivers that I need. 2. Windows 7 has the same issue above. 3. Windows 10 20H1+ versions have an annoying bug that prevents me from using the computer normally. The bug is "An invalid name request was made" with code 0x801F0005. 4. As you said Windows 11 still have some bugs such as taskbar. 5. Windows Server 2022 is a Server OS. It has some Server Administration tools that I don't even use. Thanks for suggestion.
I said that not pre-loading some stuff will slowdown the reponse when the stuff is needed. Making backups to other partitions on the same drive as the source of the backup is not advised to do, use another physical harddrive for backups. If auto-optimizing and other background stuff overheats your system then there is something wrong with the cooling system.
LTSC 2019 is great, in fact the best Windows 10 in my opinion and it's supported till 2029. Good choice.
1. I understood it. Thanks for advice. 2. You're definitely right here. Because there's always a chance that my computer is infected by a ransomware. I know that the ransomware will encrypt the files in other drives aswell. 3. Maybe it has some problems. I didn't check it yet. So, I don't have any idea for that.
Of course I can't. I know how to remove features or components. But I don't know how to remove services. That's why. If there is a way to remove services, then why would I ask this thing here?
I'm sure there's a way you can remove services when installing a custom build but honestly this was years ago when I looked into this, back when 10 launched. Could you run a Powershell file to remove services using sc delete as part of your install?
Do delete the services from the image mount the wim file dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path_to_Image_file> /index:1 /mountdir:<your_mount_folder> Then load the registry hives reg load HKLM\SYSHIVE <your_mount_folder>\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM Then remove the service reg delete "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\<service_name>" /f Then unload the hive reg unload HKLM\SYSHIVE Then save your changes Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:<your_mount_folder> /Commit Lastly export the image to new wim file Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\Images\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:\Images\install_cleaned.wim Rename install_cleaned.wim to install.wim and use in your ISO
