With my testing of 4.0.07 so far there is no improvement I can tell from my last post of #310
Though very keen on this PS script & sure it will only get better. Thanks @GodHand

... or simply add the following to additional reg tweaks

Disable_floating_immersive_Search_bar.reg (Default Setting)

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"ImmersiveSearch"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\Flighting\Override]
"CenterScreenRoundedCornerRadius"=-
"ImmersiveSearchFull"=-

 

I could add support for .swm files as a source image as well as the option to split the final optimized image into .swm files. It would not be difficult to integrate that into the current framework nor the next upcoming major build update that uses the WimgApi and DismApi for all imaging and optimization processes.

hi there, I am trying to use this tool on a "Win10_1909_English_x64.iso" and the tool shows a warning :

WARNING: Optimize-Offline is designed for the "en-US" regional culture. Not all optimizations will be available for the "en-GB" regional culture".

I have downloaded and tried both "Win10_1909_English_x64.iso" and "Win10_1909_EnglishInternational_x64.iso" but I CANNOT find any en-US versions.
can i simply ignore this error?
if thats not possible, then can anyone point me to a en-US version of Win10 1909 64 bit?

 

simply ignore & install win10 adk on your host . restart your machine then execute the script using powershell ise as admin . please dont forget to review the results.

Edit : Win10_1909_English_x64.iso is already en-us . dont worry after adk is installed it wont show anything like that.

 

You can ignore this error. Is the PC you're using set for the language/regional culture of Great Britain?
In my experience, I've gotten that warning when working with a definite en-US ISO, but the host PC was set to another language.

yup, the host OS is GB/UK that i downloaded previously.

update: i have successfully configured and installed the OS without any problem.
i didnt install ADK (i didnt want to do it either, since last time it took almost 3 hours to download and configure).

 

this tool is messing up the Sleep feature of windows.

if i put my laptop to sleep, then it is not able to wake up (cpu fan spins up, hdd spins up but nothing else works, no video, no usb, no keys).

i tested with installed a clean, unmodified iso and this issue went away. (for this test, i used the base iso without any modifications)

I am ONLY using the suggested options/toggles in the original post.

what could be causing this?

steps to reproduce:
1. create new ISO with the tool
2. install OS
3. install official graphics drivers (i tested with 2 different versions)
4. test sleep

Dell Inspiron 15 5575
AMD Ryzen 5 2500U (Vega 8 iGPU)
8 GB DDR4
5400 RPM HDD

i tried the script several times with different configurations and i finally got sleep working with a very minimal config. i THINK enabling HyperV or deactivating language/OCR stuff is the cause, but i cant be certain since i am in absolutely no mood to do any more "testing".

right now, the laptop is atleast usable and stable. i'll upload my ISO config later.

 

That will display if the default language for the image is not en-US. It can be ignored and is there simply because there may be some variables or values that are different depending on the default language of the image. For example registry property values.

Optimize-Offline does not modify or change any default power options. The only change that is made is by the default SetupComplete.cmd script in the 'Content\Additional\Setup' folder that turns off hibernation (POWERCFG -H OFF).

 

Hi,
I'm not sure if stuff was removed too aggressively (Win10 x64 20H1 19041 SLOW), but:
- missing Windows Ink Workspace (Win+W)
- completely missing on the sidebar of Settings > Devices: Pen & Windows Ink
- explorer ms-screenclip: says I need to install a new application. Same when clicking new in Snip & Sketch app (ScreenSketch.exe)

Any particular reason Internet Explorer is still set as the default browser in CustomAppAssociations.xml?

I'm aware and I do change it to Edge with each release, I was just curious as to the *reasoning* behind Internet Explorer being the default choice when its development is practically dead save for the most essential security updates.
