Hy all, First of all, i want to make it clear that I have been coming on this forum for quite some time to find solutions and I want to thank the hard work of all members. I'm looking for the simplest, no-frills OFFICIAL Windows 10 and the lightest possible. Let me explain, I would like a Windows 10 that just works, without Windows Defender, Microsoft gaming, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Edge, Cortona and whatever else is not needed because I just want to install MY favorite softwares. I had Windows 10 LTSC installed, which was fine with me, but Windows Defender and a Microsoft game still came preinstalled. I tried to search in the Forum the different versions of Windows but got a bit lost. Could you just enlighten me by telling me that such a product exists? I also want to point out that I would try to keep this windows 10 updated through Windows Update, without it unintentionally installing the programs listed above. (sorry i'm not english)
No, it does not. At best you could create a custom ISO with NTlite and that is it. Or you can try the new Windows 10X, once it comes out.
Just disable Defender or install your preferred AV, and uninstall the game. This is the easiest solution.
It is worth taking the time to learn how to create your own custom images not only to remove all of the stuff you don't want but to also include things like drivers and updates to expedite the install process. I stumbled on this forum years ago due to being frustrated with all of the preinstalled stuff that comes with Windows and searching for a solution. Today, I build my own install images with exactly with what I want included.
Just run an untouched windows. it will be safer, longer lasting and running fine. All download options: Download Windows Install Media Techbench/MSFT ISO/UUP/SVF/ESD + Office VL
+1 for what he said. You start monkeying around with the install image, you are very likely to cause problems. Just install Windows, then install the A/V and software that you want to replace the Windows build in stuff. The Microsoft supplied A/V, games, software (photo view, music player, etc, etc, etc) will not cause you any problems once you have set the default to your preferred software (VLC, Irfan, etc). They will take up a little space on your hard drive, and that is it. And hard drive space (even SSD), is cheap. ON EDIT: If you really want a barebones system to play with, why don't you try Linux?
Hello all, I am an casual user, I start my PC and use it like everyone else, I want and I launch, an intact window. I don't use an antivirus, so I don't see the point of having one preinstalled (windowds Defender) that downloads updates (even disabled) and sends data in the background even if it is not running. I am using windows, just because I have some softwares that works on it. My concern is that I wanted to install Windows 10 LTSC N but I have music software that requires me to have Windows Media. But when I install the Windows Media patch, I have a whole bunch of stuff that I don't need. I really need a pure Windows which can install everything without adding anything (windows media patch or others ...) That's why. I tried that, but windows defender still downloads updates after a while and I don't believe "Game" can be uninstalled natively.
The "everything is bloat" mentality. Just take a regular LTSC iso, take MSMG toolkit, remove all components except windows store back-end(needed for dch drivers) and you have your iso. There's no official iso that matches your description.
you say that for "game"? yes, I could find that but what bothers me is the whole process of defending Windows which, even completely deactivated, continues to send notifications and to make updates which ends up reactivating it .... (my problem is not really solved but the question on this post is ^^) TY, i trying this.
Please ask in the thread of the used tool: MSMG ToolKit N is not a feature edition, it's crippled by design, enforced by EU law, and when you want to use multimedia stuff just use the regular non N edition.
