    On the latest OO build, the RunAsTi and Black Theme imported registry tweaks are not working.

    The OO log says they have been imported but in a VM and now on a clean Windows install not working until I double-click both .reg files.

    The 'Additional Tweaks.reg' wasn't applied as well. No CMD As Admin or anything. :(

    Fixed definitely on the master branch, and even tested it on a VM with 22000 modded iso. However please feel free to test it also :)

    I tested in a VM, and everything is working, except for the Black Theme, Windows Explorer etc. definitely still the stock white theme.

    But have Run As Trusted Installer, Open CMD As Admin and stuff.

    Can i put an option in Configuration.json like:

    Code:
    {
         "Output": "YourPath://Image.ISO/WIM/ESD"
         OR
          "Output": false //default
         OR
         "Output" : "Select" /// Save dialog will show, with the extension adapted to the input
    }
    if false the normal behavior will be executed.

    If you agree i can do that. Like this we will cover any kind of input. Remember, we have also WIM, ESD inputs as well.

    That works. The file name can be the normal output (19044.1645.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso), just subtract the extra stuff at the end of the name. I like the current format (version.build) just not the extra junk.

    Ok with a bit of modification i present you even a better version:

    Code:
    {
         "Output": "YourPath://Image.ISO/WIM/ESD"
         OR
          "Output": "YourPath://{filename}" // will preserve the OO filename format but you choose the path
         OR
          "Output": false //default
         OR
         "Output" : "Select" /// Save dialog will show, with the extension adapted to the input, BY DEFAULT the filename will be the OO filename, you can either choose the path or change the filename or both
    }
    So basically i introduced the {filename} optional variable, which represents the default OO filename, if you put that, {filename} will be replaced with the OO filename inside the path.

    And if you want to choose everytime you run the script, just put select, and you will be presented with a save dialog loaded with the default filename and at the last directory you had. You can change both filename and path as you need it.

    I'll probably choose Select and then choose the path. Will it select at least a filename and then I can modify it as I please or will the filename will be blank?

    Edit: Nvm, can't read. I'll test it out and will let you know how it goes. I'm sure many will find the change an improvement.

    Windows Explorer, all the menus definitely not the Amoled Black Theme with Windows 11 IoT 22000.

    It IS if I manually apply the .reg file and log back in.

    Hello
    Ask, after the two tools, NTlite and MSMG ToolKit, delete the system components, the system will restore the components after the update patch is executed.

    Excuse me, in the system processed by "Optimize-Offline", whether the processed components are also restored after the patch is updated?

    Sorry for my bad english, this is translated by google.

    I think for sure - yes.
    The only option without restoring - LTSC - Windows server. ;)
    Maybe someone knows better?

    You can remove system components from an online image with AutoSettingsPS_v.0.5.1.

    If I integrate the updates with W10UI, then run the OO script on the ISO, I've never had system apps etc. reinstalling when updating Windows afterwards.
