    You are mixing what I said about the live filesystem with what I said about the wim.

    There is not RE-compression using wimlib to build a wim. Wimlib Is just a (better) replacement to dism it does exactly what dism does with some advantages (like a bit better speed, and the multi OS support)

    Well. Just NO.

    The files on mounted image aren't compressed, the files inside the wim are compressed. To move an uncompressed file in a compressed place you have to compress it. (it's not even an IT matter, is just simple logic), and compression takes time and CPU cycles, especially an asymmertical one like LZX or an higly asymmetrical one like LZMS (esd compression in dism parlance).

    In your dreams, maybe :D

    For you to be happy, I correct my speech.
    Speed is not noticeably affected.
    The difference is very tiny.

    I was talking to him about Toolkit and Custom Toolkit.
    Why would I be confusing myself about what you said?
    If I was strictly talking about what he asked.

    Man, being native to another language, a little complicates the way of expressing me ... but I tried to be clear about that in Toolkit and Custom Toolkit we do not use this command:
    Code:
    "%WimlibImagex%" export "%InstallWim%" %%i "%_TMP%\install.wim" --compress=LZX --recompress
    
    we are using for ex:
    Code:
    "%WimlibImagex%" optimize "%InstallWim%"
    
    that replaces the use of:
    Code:
    "%WimlibImagex%" export "%InstallWim%" all "%_TMP%\install.wim" --compress=LZX
    :: Move Replace Source "install.wim" for New "install.wim" Image File
    if exist "%_TMP%\install.wim" move /y "%_TMP%\install.wim" "%InstallWim%" >nul
    


    And, this one:
    Code:
    "%WimlibImagex%" export "%InstallWim%" %%i "%_TMP%\install.wim" --compress=LZX --recompress
    
    like that one:
    Code:
    "%WimlibImagex%" export "%InstallWim%" all "%InstallEsd%" --compress=LZMS:100 --solid
    
    They take too much long time to have their task completed.

    Yes.
    The command uses the compress algorithm of source install.wim.

  4. for services i use kedarwolf template advanced list on offline image & everything going great.
    pl do have a look at his post in OO

    For settings i use reg capture on current installed os & have a backup of it
    change key according to offline image loading of registry then apply that reg whenever new image is created . save lot of time.

    That's the point.

    Just provide an option in the menu tools to export the wim as uncompressed, then mount that and work with that, all the operation would be an order of magnitude faster, then provide an option to export as compressed at the end of all operations .

    To be clear that's not my pet feature, is just a request of another user that IMO makes sense in some scenarios, and probably makes sense even for common uses.

    Likely the time spared removing and adding features and doing the normal things that MSMG does will overweight the time to export the image at the beginning and at the end of all the operations.

    I've done it at Custom Toolkit.

    The results were very little speed difference (a few seconds). That's why I removed the option. Since it would not make noticeable difference.


    I did not understand right.

    But describing the dynamics of Toolkit and Custom Toolkit:
    If it is an ESD image, there is the option to export to Wim. So Toolkit Mount only the selected WIM image indexes and after completion of the user customizations are that unmount, saving changes and, following the optimization that cleans the unwanted remnants and maintains the source image compression factor.


    We have been far from what we have today with Toolkit.
    Those who had no experience with Toolkit 10.2 could take 4 hours up to finish a personalized ISO.

    Today, if it takes 40 min is too much. Maybe a little more if you want to convert to ESD.

    Got it.

    But my experience tells me to never take a single test (or few tests) for granted. Maybe the mileage may vary depending on the CPU power and the speed of the storage.

    Whatever, like I said that's not my personal feature request and I'm too busy in other things to do benchmarks myself

    But on the other hand MS undermined a lot the importance of what MSMG could do, since 1809 o_O

    Yes, for ESD conversion, yes.
    But for tests on my atom with 2 GB RAM DDR2 HD 2.5 "256GB 5400RPM, only with tests in Mount Wim Images did not make much difference.


    I did simple tests in this case. Only with a timer, really.
    It is not a test that requires a lot. Since the gain is tiny.


    Assuming the goal would actually make this type of venture difficult, Windows customization, I agree with you.

    But everything is based on the tools provided by MS. So, there is a certain paradox there, hehehehe

    Thank you so much for this amazing tool @MSMG
    I have a question, I plan to use my windows 10 pro mainly for gaming, office products and adobe (photoshop, illustrator, premier pro, after effects). anything I should aware of that I shouldn't remove?
    Also, does removing WMP still breaks games some games lik GTA or the dll files you retains (WMASF.DLL, WMVCORE.DLL) prevent that?

    sorry, I don't like the look of Dart 11 tools, totally the weird programming X64, tools in the x86 folder

    >Why

    must be so because I have restored the old dart 10 programming,

    the only thing missing is the Remote.exe


    why does due not use prom
    %windir%\system32\netstart.exe


    ::::

    [LaunchApps]
    %windir%\system32\netstart.exe,-prompt
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\recovery\recenv.exe



    ::::

    [LaunchApps]
    %windir%\system32\wpeinit.exe
    %windir%\system32\netstart.exe
    %systemdrive%\sources\recovery\tools\MSDartTools.exe

    I would rebuild it, may I do that for you

    Guys sorry for this question which might be a bit irrelevant to the thread but I installed the official Win10_21H2_English_x64 (Windows 10 Pro) on a vm to do some test, after the install I ran sfc /verifyonly
    To my surprise it says "Windows resource protection found integrity violations"

    Is it normal? I mean it's an unmodified official image and as far as I know no such thing is supposed to happen, right? or am I missing something?
