remember to test in a virtual machine first with all devices attached before trying on real install. only then will you know if it works for you or not, report issues encounted in this thread if something critical is broken for you. i've tried to my best to test this on mulitple systems. I have sixe desktops all with different hardware and attached devices. two laptops and one tablet (tablet support is untested atm) failure to test in a virtual machine beforehand is at your own risk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All-In-One Release: (back to just one version) notes / issues resolved: had to restore staterepository as it broke opening external links from steam discussions. only had to restore spaceport.sys to avoid bsod for nvme users. storage spaces seems unrelated so left that removed. download: rls at some point in future, be patient. This project is ongoing. more info will follow. release date is when it's done. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Removed Features / Components List: (will try and list as much as I can) "WIP" the following is just off the top of my head for now, the actual list of removals is very long. *available in non legacy version. - Windows Runtime (RT) components, used mostly by the settings apps (not to be confused with Windows RT) start screen / start menu, shell experiences (clock etc) - Settings App - Gaming, Xbox, Devices, shared experiences, remote desktop, phone, windows update, accounts etc - all xbox services, settings app system files, appx support files, modern printing - various control panel applets (replaced by older ones that dont point to settings app, some have links to settings app, but that can't be helped) - *storage spaces - tethering - proximity - extra usb features / drivers (core stuff remains for usual stuff, drives, wifi, kb/mouse, printer, scanner etc) - defender and all the extra apps and components & drivers - whole load of non crticial system files, too many to list and describe here - all windows apps - all system apps - all folders containing app payloads / installation sources - big winsxs cleanup of payloads - large amount of non crticial drivers plus their payloads from various folders Code: Whitelist (removal of these files caused variou funky things to happen) TH1 #ren C:\Windows\System32\OnDemandBrokerClient.dll OnDemandBrokerClient.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\tileobjserver.dll tileobjserver.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\wpncore.dll wpncore.dll.tmp TH2 #ren C:\Windows\System32\OnDemandBrokerClient.dll OnDemandBrokerClient.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\tileobjserver.dll tileobjserver.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\wpncore.dll wpncore.dll.tmp RS1 #ren C:\Windows\System32\cdp.dll cdp.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\InputLocaleManager.dll InputLocaleManager.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\InputService.dll InputService.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\OnDemandConnRouteHelper.dll OnDemandConnRouteHelper.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\SharedStartModel.dll SharedStartModel.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\SystemSettings.DataModel.dll SystemSettings.DataModel.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\wpncore.dll wpncore.dll.tmp RS2 #ren C:\Windows\System32\cdp.dll cdp.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\InputLocaleManager.dll InputLocaleManager.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\InputService.dll InputService.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\OnDemandConnRouteHelper.dll OnDemandConnRouteHelper.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\SharedStartModel.dll SharedStartModel.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\SystemSettings.DataModel.dll SystemSettings.DataModel.dll.tmp #ren C:\Windows\System32\wpncore.dll wpncore.dll.tmp RS3 -

Personaly I like windows stripped but I use MSMG toolkit for that ! I appreciate you effort to post all the info on bringing windows 7 look back and they say there are more roads that lead to rome
its independent shell but its start menu is quiet minimal so thats why using classic shell a bit must for some search in theoven forum for more info
I watch all of these type of projects with interest and admiration. Personally I think this particular one probably won't be a thing for me. First impression is that the OS is cut down so much that one would need to replace too many components by 3rd party items to make it usable. Now on the other hand that may very well be a big plus for some people. In any case its a very interesting project and there is always something one can learn from it. Thanks for sharing !!
One can admire all of your hard work, the only problem is that M$ will change all that with the next revision update due this spring. Then it'll have to be done all over again
This is a Windows bug??!?!? For f-s sake, I spent weeks figuring out what's wrong with my mouse then just ragequit.
