    I don't need to show anything, I am a member of the Wilders Security forum since year where all we talk about is security solutions and every one there knows how heavy it is.

    Just to give you a small example, on my D: drive, I have a folder named Software

    2019-02-13_054730.jpg

    In that folder there are many sub-folders which have portable apps in them and each sub-folder I've set it to have a custom icon to easily differentiate it, then there are some setup.exe files of apps that I use. If I have Windows Defender enabled, whenever I open that folder, the folders with custom icons load in slow motion, one after the other. It's fine if it was just one time as the AV is scanning the folders but it happens very freakin' time and you can see my system specs in my signature. I have a super fast laptop with all SSDs.

    Use what you like, no one is forcing you to use anything else but there are many other good and free options like Panda Antivirus Free or Bitdefender Free that don't rob you 40% of your system's performance. Maybe you live in this bubble thinking that Windows Defender is not heavy because that's all you've used and you think ok that's how my system performs, but when you try some other AV, you will feel like you just bought a new computer.

    I'm outta here, use whatever you wish.

    Is it so hard to just show us a screenshot which shows Defender using abnormal system resources?

    Don't get me wrong, i couldn't care less what AV is "the best" according to one of the so many test sites.

    But i never see any real evidence of taskmanager showing defender using the huge amounts, no even system crippling, of system resources.

    I have seen defender slow down the system much.. try copying a folder full of exe's (like sysinternals pack or something). Try see how slow that gets.

    Copy them and make a screenshot of taskmanager showing defender at work and post it.

    Bro, how can I show you any screen shot when the first thing I do after I install Windows is this:

    1) Disabled Windows Defender from GPE
    2) Ran this reg file:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    ;Windows Defender Security Center Service
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SecurityHealthService]
    "Start"=dword:00000004
    
    ;Windows Defender Antivirus Service
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend]
    "Start"=dword:00000004
    
    ;Windows Defender Antivirus Network Inspection Service
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WdNisSvc]
    "Start"=dword:00000004
    
    ;Windows Defender Antivirus Network Inspection System Driver
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WdNisDrv]
    "Start"=dword:00000004
    
    ;Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sense]
    "Start"=dword:00000004
    
    3) Disabled Windows Defender using O&O ShutUp10
    4) Disabled SmartScreen using this:
    Code:
    1) takeown /f "%systemroot%\System32\smartscreen.exe" /a
    2) icacls "%systemroot%\System32\smartscreen.exe" /reset
    3) nsudoc -U:T -P:E "%systemroot%\System32\icacls.exe" %systemroot%\System32\smartscreen.exe /inheritance:r /remove *S-1-5-32-544 *S-1-5-11 *S-1-5-32-545 *S-1-5-18

    Benchmarks are only valid for you when reinforcing your personal opinion, everything else is questionable? LOL

    Show tests with objective methodologies that support your statement and not your subjective sense.

    And learn to interpret an impact in a certain percentage does not mean slowness. Only that part of the processing power is being wasted on bulls**t. With cutting edge hardware you'll never notice a difference but with old hardware things may be different.

    sorry i sparked the defender debate. i just mentioned how it was preventing me from sysprepping if i left it in windows. personally on my own personal machines I don't use anything cause I'm not a tard on the internet. but I work at a public school district. high schoolers would ravage the crap out of our machines

    why we use deep freeze and sophos cloud

    Hi

    I took my 1809 ISO for Windows 10. I went in the toolkit (9.1.7) and selected "Enterprise". I remove the bloatware that I wanted gone and finished up. Basically did everything as stated in the readme. When I took the took the files that were updated in the DVD folder and ran setup on another machine. it installed Pro (instead of Enterprise), without giving me an option, and none of the apps are removed were gone.

    Everything appeared to work normally as I was going through the steps. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience

    Thanks

    Selecting one sku for servicing doesn't delete the other sku's. So use wim manager to delete all other sku's from the install.wim (don't forget to rebuild the wim afterwards).

    Thanks _ I'll take a look. Why would it default to another sku? Does the Toolkit treat each SKU separately?

    Yes, it only processes one index.
    You would have to delete the other indexes that you don't wan't to use, as enthousiast said.
    Personally I would first remove the unwanted indexes, rebuild and after that run MSMG on the only index left.
    That way you can't go wrong.

    Cheers.
