Optimize-Offline Guide - Windows Debloating Tool, Windows 1803, 1903, 19H2, 1909, 20H1 and LTSC 2019

Been a fan of this script for some time now (used it up to current 18950 release without any real issue),
You might want to read @TheStutch's post here as to why he chose to maintain info on it, rather than
open a dedicated thread.

Might be worth a mention also that the script was written by MDL's @GodHand
.. also I believe it is his intention to release a GUI version with additional facilities.

Edit: ... and for @GodHand's thoughts see here

 

For general Info, I changed all 18362 instances tin the .ps1 script to 18945 and used with these settings

PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Optimize-Offline.ps1 -SourcePath "D:\18945.1001\sources\install.wim" -WindowsApps "Select" -SystemApps -Packages -Features -Win32Calc -Registry

... current installed [main] OS, all working OK (still have to keep re-installing graphic driver though)

... recently updated to 3.2.6.5 [thread is worth maintaining]
accidently ran it on 18956 with no changes/adjustments .. all appears to be ok

... but this part might be of interest...

Upcoming Features In-Progress
This is to give a bit of information and insight as to what features are currently being implemented and tested on future versions of Optimize-Offline,
what to expect and what will be getting implemented. All of these features, modules and add-ons are already either complete or going through debugging stages.

• Offline update integrations - which will retrieve the appropriate packages automatically - will be introducted within a few weeks.
• A full XML writer add-on module will allow for the creation of Answer Files using an editable form.
• Current Windows Apps and manifests will be able to be updated.
• A DISM.API and WimgAPI library will be incorporated allowing for full core component removal options and advanced imaging features.
• The creation of custom WindowsPE bootable images will be implemented.
• The ability to apply the image directly to a Virtual Disk or physical disk will be implemented using native Microsoft Win32 dlls (VirtDisk.dll, etc.)
• Local and network deployment compatibility.
• Additional runtime modules to further customize and attain full control over your system.
• Many, many more features.

The full GUI version is in its alpha stage and has been delayed to ensure complete compatibility with PowerShell 6. Its release will be coming soon, though.

 

... updated to
3.2.6.7 (08-14-2019)

- The Boot and Recovery images are now automatically mounted at the beginning of the script and remain mounted during the full runtime of the script. The Boot image will only be mounted if a Windows Installation Media ISO is used as the source image for optimization. If only an install.wim is provided, the Recovery image will only be mounted.
- Drivers can now be added to the Boot and Recovery images.
- In the 'Content\Additional\Drivers' directory are three new directories: Install, Boot and Recovery. Driver packages placed in the 'Install' directory will be added to the Install image, those placed in the 'Boot' directory will be added to the Boot image and those place in the 'Recovery' directory will be added to the Recovery image.
- Updated the applied registry optimizations to accommodate the recent decoupling of the Windows Search and Cortana features which could have resulted in a non-functional search function.
- Updated the functions module.
- Optimized and updated additional script and module process code.

3.2.6.6
- Updated both the primary script and the functions module.

 

.PARAMETER -SystemApps
Populates and outputs a Gridview list of all System Applications for selective removal.

I created an iso witout the packages ticked on your post, installed the windows and now windows update cant install updates. i triedamy methods to solve it but it says we couldnt complete the changes, undoing changes after reboot.

 

not the one with august 15 commits.

 

i also run the set-privacy and remove-onedrive scripts after installation.

 

hmm. can you provide it? and why do you think that there is something wrong with the stock script and need another one?
