A little late reply, but a reminder that you and in general everyone should decide what's being disabled line-by-line and be sure it fits your needs instead of using a giant predetermined list. Open the services list and look at the description of WLAN AutoConfig. I have not dug deeper to see if SSID settings can be manually enforced without going through the flyout interface, but even with saved settings (as seen in the adapter properties) I believe I remember the connection dropping as soon as the service was disabled when I last tested, so for now that service is required.
Thanks checked my services advanced list & is set to auto. Code: { "description": "WLAN AutoConfig", "name": "WlanSvc", "start": 2 },
Did you remove the Broadcom WiFi clients? Edit: And run it without disabling any services. You can disable or enable any in Windows later with Autoruns. Second Edit: Or just enable any already disabled services IN WINDOWS with Autoruns. Save you reinstalling Windows.
Yes, I realize there's been another delay. I've had an update to push to Github for a while now but have not been able to test it on my personal workstation because since updating my NIC cards, Hyper-V has been an absolute whiny b*tch with a plethora of intermittent issues. "Well, why not just swap to a Hypervisor 1 program like VMWare?" I will most likely do that, but the convenience of me using the abysmal Hyper-V was it having its own PShell cmdlets. This allowed me to create an optimized image, then create and format the proper partition layouts for a VHDX, applying the image and then automatically starting it and running a post-install debugger...all using a single command. I suppose I could just use my server instead. Eh, either way I'll get it pushed to Github this week. Incorporating Windows 11 support into the current Windows 10 framework has created a module package well above the size I like because it makes tracking down issues a pain. I am considering making the Windows 11 optimizations its own module which will be automatically called when detected within the primary framework module.
@gdeliana Neither the populateTemplates.bat or populateLists.bat are working for me, nothing gets added to any list or template. I also noticed opening the ISO with the GUI, it doesn't populate any apps at all if I choose Select as all the options.
In latest commit, using List isn't working. In the GUI only options are Blacklist and Whitelist and it doesn't populate anything from any of the lists like CapabilitiesList.json @gdeliana
Hello Everyone, After some silence time from my side i have decided to abandon the fork of optimize-offline. Hopefully @GodHand will provide stable updates. Anyways, you all can fork it and modify as you need. The reason behind my choice is because i don't see Microsoft heading in a right direction with Windows, and frankly speaking i am tired of continuously monitoring changes of Microsoft. For me the operating system feels like an adware and long is gone the good old experience of windows 7. Personally i use Windows only for gaming and the rest i do in Manjaro (Arch linux derivative). I feel linux distros have made a huge way forward, and soon they will completely replace, the usage of Windows, even for beginner users. Wish you all the best, Genci
I'm making my tool handle the data searches within the image and, autonomously, create the menus for the User, because of exactly what you said. But there are always new details to be thought about. Now the new telemetry concern is AIs, in Windows it is the copilot. Even if it was launched with a mode of choice for the user to activate in features... But it's forced, it seems to me that it's a turbocharged Cortana, so they renamed it to replace it.
Everything that Microsoft buys/owns it just degrades over time. I cannot mention lately, how many technologies and apps they ruined, such as the famous LinkedIn, forget about getting job opportunities unless you pay. ChatGPT, since open-AI adapted the model to the AZURE open-AI, the quality of the results fell down. Ex-Employees of Microsoft itself have commented over the disgrace of the new W11 taskbar and start menu. The start menu feels completely obsolete, it does absolutely nothing, the design is bad and it shows no frequent apps like the previous w7 start menu. I just don't want to comment anymore, because it makes me even more pissed and sad that such great company that used to be Microsoft to fall so badly. I wouldn't mind paying them 200 bucks license, if they gave me a rigorous and crap free OS
Ok, I think I found what was causing: Basically script for cleaning root folder of iso was removing too much. For 24H2, the file that must stay is 'setuphost.exe'. Under: "Src\Public\Optimize-InstallMedia.ps1" Edit line 11 to look like this: ... -Exclude @('EI.cfg', 'gatherosstate.exe', 'setup.exe', 'setuphost.exe', 'lang.ini', ... After that, you can use old installer (new one for some reason will throw error after ~5%) Keep in mind, if you use autounattended with windowsPE pass, you won't be able to select old installer option.
I have been using the Optimize offline script for years to customize my Windows ltsc. With the tips above I managed to get 24h2 the way I want it. List isn't working so I removed everything manually after populate templates: Code: "SourcePath": "D:\\Zuig\\en-us_windows_11_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2024_x64_dvd_f6b14814.iso", "WindowsApps": "None", "SystemApps": "Select", "Capabilities": "Select", "Packages": "Select", "FeaturesToEnable": "List", "FeaturesToDisable": "List", "Services": "None", "DeveloperMode": false, "WindowsStore": false, "MicrosoftEdge": false, "Win32Calc": false, "DormantDefender": true, "Dedup": false, "DaRT": [], "Registry": true, "OutputPath": "default", "Additional": { "Setup": false, "Wallpaper": true, "SystemLogo": false, "LockScreen": false, "RegistryTemplates": true, "LayoutModification": false, "Unattend": false, "Drivers": false, "NetFx3": false }, "ComponentCleanup": true, "ISO": "No-Prompt", "CompressionType": "Maximum", "SelectiveRegistry": { "DisableWindowsUpgrade": false, "DisableWindowsUpdateMicrosoft": false, "DisableDriverUpdate": true, "DormantOneDrive": true, "Disable3rdPartyApps": false, "W11ClassicContextMenu": false, "ExplorerUIRibbon": false, "ClassicSearchExplorer": false, "RemoveTaskbarPinnedIcons": false, "DisableTeamsApp": false, "DisableVirtualizationSecurity": false, "RunAsTiContextMenu": false, "AmoledBlackTheme": false }, "ShutDownOnComplete": false, "FlashToUSB": "Off" Better not remove Capability "Microsoft.Windows.Sense.Client~~~~", The installation survived 2 windows updates without any problems , thanks for your work!
