    So I am trying to customize the latest LTSC:
    Although after selecting the system apps removal it crashes:
    I run it like this: .\Start-Optimize-BAU-TI.ps1

    I ran it on the same ISO. I'll share my log and configuration.json etc. when I get home from work. Your log says the script finished though, but with 8 errors. I get zero errors.

    Also, I use the script to disable a ton of services, but edit the list I'll share for your purposes.

    And attached are my lists and configuration.json in .zip files.

    Edit: If you want an answer file that'll automate your Windows setup, I can attach it as well. You'll just have to replace the ***** entries with your username, PC name and admin password you want etc.

    After I install Windows, I just accept the region and keyboard, my user is already set up and a bunch of tweaks like showing hidden files and disabling hibernation are already done.

    Don't even have to do anything else at first login, just accept the region and keyboard.

    It is set up for an en-US ISO though.

    This is only necessary if you use Store. Otherwise it can be disabled without problems. I always disable it and I don't have any problems but I don't use Store or UWP apps.

    This is different from paging file. Paging file is not recommended to be disabled.

    I have not tried it with winaero tweaker. I will test again.

    What does it do? Disable UAC? I did not understand. Is it necessary to apply this to restore classic search?

    EDIT:
    You mean disabling UAC restores classic search without needing winaero tweaker or mach2?

    You are right with winaero tweaker this works :) thank you for the tip.

    But this applies a different tweak. Adds a different value to the registry than mach2.

    It is necessary to restart Windows Explorer to work.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{1d64637d-31e9-4b06-9124-e83fb178ac6e}\TreatAs]
    @="{64bc32b5-4eec-4de7-972d-bd8bd0324537}"

    Wow great job in demasking the truth of winaero tweaker. So the link they were providing in their tweak page was not what in reality it was doing. How did you manage to find this? Some registry diff tool?
    Am on my way to integrate this, definitely the best solution!!

    Am going to make a release.
    Later will continue with @KedarWolf BAU script not deleting temp folder. And also edge chromium deletion. Any news anyone on this? Is it worth removing edge chromium? Any side effects?

    • [W11] enable classic search in explorer
    • [W11] UI ribbon W10 style in explorer
    • [W11] enabled classic context menus

    Is it automatic?
    What if I don't want it?

    Because I like the style of the W11?
