Its ok, not your fault man. I'll try editing the bat. This time I'll be sure to have a backup image of my ssd And I know its mainly for workstations etc. I just like to squeeze every inch of performance out of Win10.
This setting is reversed with 1.Remove registry tweaks option in Restore menu. But that's useless when you're locked out I send you custom one (without this setting) by message we need to edit GPO files too (it's a GPO)
Ok thanks Thomas, when i saw what time your post was edited i gathered you was probably on the home straight.
Done. v3.7 changelog: -Modified Microsoft account policy (security setting) to: "Users can't add Microsoft accounts", to avoid people using microsoft account being locked out. -Added option to set Group Policy again or to reset Group Policy after registry tweak removing (Restore menu): Some important registry settings are redundantly included as Group Policy settings. If you launched full/fast optimization or Group Policy single task before, the tweaks you just removed are still stored as GPO, which means that while tweaks were removed, a future "GpUpdate" command would re-add them. In this case (only), it's better to launch Group Policy task again with these only the registry tweaks removed, or to reset Group Policy totally. So, I made 4 new policy files without those registry settings and added option to set again, reset Group Policy totally, or leave like this. -Minor cosmetic changes
Nice one Thomas , i look forward to going through it later. Small suggestion, can you add the version numberto the actual file so users know they are getting the correct version?
The version is displayed in title bar (cmd title) when you run it. I'm too affraid I get some problem with the . (dot) in the script if I change the name, I will try hehe
Check your inbox, I've sent you custom one (without any microsoft account setting: modded LGPO files and scripts...and v3.8). Public version still has "users can't add microsoft account" ( but now they can log in with microsoft account)
Thanks! I actually tried 3.7 and logged in just fine with my Microsoft account. Unless I used the one you sent me instead? I cant remember ha ha.So far so good
Bloody hell Thomas your bats are way more complicated than mine , mine are fisher price by comparison.
On w8.1 i think there is ovcer 3000 settings in GPO, lord knows on LTSC. IM not that up on export/importing policies but i am savvy on harvesting gp settings using RegFromApp, point RFA to scan mmc.exe. HKLM/CR are easy enough, HKCU are a pig because they have a user id, you have to shorten the string. Im not anal enough to go through thousands of settings but i am anal enough to barebone ltsc services to 207 disabled.
My LTSC is airgapped(telemetry isnt an issue) with w8.1 or Debian being used for online duties. Disabling Scheduled Tasks and Services has given me good results for not a lot of work and i am happy with the results so far but i am still looking at other peoples work and looking for that 1 holy grail of a tweak. I am not liting or doing package removals, untouched source, install, some $OEM$ folder and phantom installer trickery, update, extensive cleanups, tweaks and a slight fettle with dism++. LTSC is stable
I'm more or less on the same boat. Disabled a bunch of services in the install.wim through the registry, then installed Windows 10 LTSC without an internet connection and proceeded to disable a bunch of scheduled tasks. So far the only hickups I've had were having a few Settings pages crash or notifications not working at all, but it was all remedied by re-enabling a service or two. Managed to get around 36 processes running on a VM while retaining all essential functionality, which is almost Windows 8.1 levels of lean.
@the_soft45 Ive had problems capturing ltsc, clean source, install, update then capture then deploying, oobekeyboard error during setup. Ive mounted ltsc registry with msmg and had the same issue later. Had the same issues after NTLite. Theres nothing Nuhi or MSMG can do if the os itself is buggered. Now i start with an untouched source, add a few basic tweaks and updates with SetupComplete.cmd, run more extensive tweak bats with Power Run post install because of elevated permissions. I cleanup from an 8.1 partition using a custom list so nothing is locked by running processes, final light fettle with dism++. I dont bother with those settings pages, i go straight to the organ grinder and do it all in the registry. LTSC is nigh on a clone of 8.1 fettled the same way and i use the same wallpaper, XP's Prairie Wind and colour on both. As this topic is for LTSC and if @Thomas Dubreuil doesnt mind i will share my stuff here(or with him directly) so he can cherry pick anything he wants, will wait for his yes/not bloody likely 1st If he doesnt find anything he likes fine, if he finds 1, happy days, if he finds more then great I build my bats with Rem's so users can see what each bit does, its annoying when you dont know what something does and there are no fancy menu's.
