    After some searching, I did discover tiny 11 as well. And even better for my use case, a build called "windowsxlite ultralight divinity". The description stated: "Windows 11 22H2 Pro (Build 22621.1245) ISO SIZE: 1.60 GB CLEAN INSTALL SIZE: 2.97 GB". It exactly took 2.99 GB installed disk space in my case. So, it appears to be the best option found so far. But I will keep searching if can find anything better than this. At the end, we are looking for a bare-bone Windows OS with the ability to install and run the latest simple browser apps on top of it, so most of the extra features on top of the OS should be safe to delete for this specific use case. We could possibly go with windows XP or 7 for which installers way below 1 GB are available, but the problem is latest browsers don't support such old OS and for some work they require the latest stable versions of the browsers.

    If you find anything better, please keep updating and I will do the same.
    In addition, I would like to know how the windowsxlite ultralight could have achieved such a small installer and installed size.

    How can we get the OS to take less than 3 GB installed size using MSMG toolkit? Is it possible to get some ideas from the experts of this toolkit please?

    Use MSMG toolkit to debloat Windows. Then use Winreducer to further lighten the Windows. Don't forget about the cleanup of the component store. You can also tweak a lot of settings here and add your custom registry files.

    One more way to further reduce the size is to manually delete files and folders from mounted wim. In this case you have to be extra careful and know exactly what you're doing. Which files are associated with the components you're removing. In some case you have to replace the original files with dummy dll's or some 3rd party softwares will start complaining that such and such dll is missing from your system. It takes lots of investigation and hard work for this step, if you don't know what you're doing, just skip this step.

    If you just want to use an up-to-date browser. And that's the only thing you demand without much further explanation... You should try android x86.

    EDIT: The Prime OS Classic is 32-bit. Search for "primeOS-classic_0.6.1-20211206.iso". There are mainline and standard and currently the newest build is only for x64. Or maybe a Bliss OS.
    I used Prime OS for a long time. To use whatsapp business from my old physical store. So I avoided having to use a mobile device just for that in the store. Of course I used it for anything, but that was the motivation for starting to use it. Today, this is no longer necessary. But in those days it was the only means available. So that's why I recommend it.

    A little crazy and I integrated StartIsBack from the Packs/Firefox folder, changed the package name and .reg file from StartIsBack_w10.tpk to Firefox_w10.tpk, and StartIsBack_w10_x64.reg to Firefox_w10_64.reg ! Good luck!

    Why does it always fail when I try to integrate NETFX48 and VCRuntime into Windows 7? It always says that is missing an update.
    And why this options to integrate this packages is not available with Windows 11?

    I did it that way with NET:

    1) Get the 10.0.22621.1105 msu file (windows11.0-kb5022303-x64_87d49704f3f7312cddfe27e45ba493048fdd1517.msu) and using 7-zip extract the below files to Toolkit's <WHD\w11\x64\10.0.22621> folder SSU-22621.898-x64.cab Windows11.0-KB5022303-x64.psf Windows11.0-KB5022303-x64.cab 2) Mount the source using Toolkit 3) Use the Integrate -> Integrate Windows Updates -> Integrate WHD Update Pack -> Integrate WHD General Updates -> Integrate to Windows Setup Install Image menu to integrate the updates to the image. 4) Apply the changes to the source

    I am trying to build an iso with working updates.

    I downloaded 22621.1105 from UUP Dump (unchecked include updates). When I try to integrate the latest update (26 Jan) it throws me this error - 0x800f0988.

    This happens on clean iso with zero modifications.

    It will probably be released as per the usual schedule, which is on the second Tuesday of the month. So the updates for this month and March will be released on the 14th.

    Pardon such a question, but does this StartIsBack/StartAllBack still work with no limitations after 30 days?
