    That's a total BS answer. I got an error removing some cancer from windows that MSMG specifically puts tons of time and effort in to allow the removal of. But you're telling me to just not remove it because I got an error?

    Wanting to remove windows defender is not unreasonable. It's one of the biggest resource hogs and can creates massive amounts of CPU usage at times. There are way too many problems with it to keep it active. Realtime AV is bloatware, and usually worse than malware itself.

    Telemetry and and Defender give me these errors on removal. I'm POSITIVE I did it in the order that the readme says.

    @MSMG is this error legitimate? I'm using the Win10_1803_English_x64 image from Windows ISO Downloader 6.04
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/attachments/telemetry-clean-png.45701/

    Also, I'm sure someone has said it somewhere, but how can I add a custom hosts file? I've never run an image in a VM (that's a goal I have) or learned how to do any further modification of the ISO (like using the mount registry feature - I don't understand where to access it once I mount it).

    I gave up on Windows 10 coming back to 8.1...

    I know it's a blasphemy to say this here but LTSB 2016 is buggy, it starts using HD and CPU massively for no apparent reason at random. Windows Update with bugged search. In new builds only cosmetics and features are added for those with tablet/hybrid devices so it's not interesting to me, apart from the amount of apps and processes running in the background that are useless to me.

    8.1 does everything I need and Windows Update works acceptably. In the future we only have to use Linux :)

    I do not understand why it is so difficult for Windows to stay current, in Linux this process is super quiet and efficient.

    yep I agree, although I haven't issues with HDD because I use SSD but is true 2016 LTSB really HAVE buggy in my case I solved at least what I found so no isssues and also not remove nothing my ISO is original for this Build I think that is not necessary remove anything (only disabling a lot of things) and for Windows 8.1 for me is the best version of Windows after Windows 7 no doubt; but unfortunately until 2023 and finally Linux is the future bro :D

    @ AeonX well dude seen I'm kidding but no some minutes ago I try update my graphics drivers (AMD) and bum!!! issues AMD Settigns NO open more and warn me that Radeon Settings and driver versions do not match. Please try again after Updating to the latest version(s). although now I remember that maybe a need re-install graphic drivers for gpu onboard(R7 inside of CPU) and after re-install new optional driver for RX460 that is dedicated card of course then after I make this if I have some issues no doubt go back to Windows 8.1 again but remembering that I need use drivers from Windows 7....believe-me because for Windows 8.1 NO more drivers from AMD this is the caos dude ;):mad:

    I believe, I read this once that AMD pulled the driver support for Win8.1. This made me think a lot before going to 8.1 but since I have NVIDIA for now I do not have to worry about it...

    I install Windows with the internet unplugged and download the setups of updated drivers on the video card manufacturer's site when possible because I do not trust Windows Update for this. Maybe the WU only updated the drivers and not the graphics card control panel.

    Ah understood then maybe you have to use an older version to match the same version for both.

    I like the hardware of AMD but in question of software/drivers they are horrible so I went to NVIDIA and also because of the best support for Linux.

    I've spent hours researching on the deviantart site and testing on VM until I find one that pleases me lol seems to be based on the Windows 8 RP theme but in my opinion it's more refined and elegant. Windows 7 themes are identical to the original if you use Aero Glass and OldNewExplorer.

    In Windows 8.1, in addition to running Aero Glass without headaches, msstyles-based themes also work perfectly.

    Aren't these the options to cleanup winsxs in 8.1 and 10?
    Code:
    Offline:
    Dism /Image:c:\mount /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    Online:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    
    On 10 /resetbase is disabled by msft, by default (prolly because it breaks the resetpc option), when the command is run it actually only runs /startcomponentcleanup
    This even applies to winpe images now. @abbodi1406 published more info about the subject.

    On 7 these commands can't be run. Someone made a rebase tool for 7 and once published it here as a free giveaway, i personally didn't like the outcome, but it reduced the windows 7 footprint significantly.

    Yes, running the command manually with the /ResetBase switch is always better. The scheduled task uses only /StartComponentCleanup.
