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

I have fixed the errors not showing into the console. All exception messages were being ignored. Check once more now, if you see an error popping in the embedded console.

 

That is what i am dealing with now, but you said that this happened with a space in the dir path of the OO tool?

EDIT: I think i fixed the whitespace issues, can you check now if the file gets deleted properly?

 

Edited: Its fixed now, i had for some weird reason the noexit param in Start-Gui.bat
So now you can delete the folder as all the resources using it will be freed.

Hello there,

For now there is a pretty basic UI, use it like this:

Code:

./Start-GUI.bat

This is only in the master branch, no release yet.

Edit: Readme.md updated with GUI instructions

 

Hanks alot. Defenetly will try it out. Have a good reason. After own manual optimization and "S... script's" experiencing weirdly prolonged delays during restarts.

 

I think the culprit is removing Microsoft.AsyncTextService, this makes a task in: \Microsoft\Windows\International\Synchronize Language Settings run when you restart the pc. Test different removals in a VM. Removing system apps is only for advanced users that must know what those components serve for in the system.

 

This one i cannot replicate, just test once more with the latest master, maybe its related to one of the fixes i made.

Yeah, you are 110% right. Hanks again

 

Is there a command line to delete this serivce (maybe wif package as well) ? Pretty please ... Hanks alot.

 

Just use this command in powershell admin mode:

Code:

Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Synchronize Language Settings" | Unregister-ScheduledTask -Confirm:$false

In the near future i may as well add a feature to manage scheduled tasks in an offline install

 

Hanks Alot again! Also found this "Uninstall-WindowsFeature" and thru sc. Gotta try them all out.

 

Everything clickable in windows has a powershell counterpart

 

Edit:
Also you have some guides here in the forums regarding what the apps do, one of them i found is this one:

I'm experiencing this weird issue with v7 that I never experienced with v6.2. What I do is copy Content\Lists\* & Configuration.json from one version to the next. v7 is not reporting any errors but what it's doing is running very fast.

Spoiler: v6.2

Sorry to have broken it, but i think you are copying the old lists file structure. I have changed it. Make sure to compare with the master branch
