    Pretty remarkable the complaining and arguing about what the op wants to support or not. Thanks wkeller, script is running beautifully for me no issues and extremely snappy.

    Just wanted to say thanks - this is awesome. Exactly what I am looking for. Saved me many hours/days of R&D. Working very well and as others have said, Windows 10 is incredibly fast with these changes.

    Thanks wkeller for slimdown10... I try with v1.24. Everything seems snappy on old laptop.
    But camera is not accessible and can't use/login to microsoft teams...
    I notice the login to microsoft account is greyed out too in setting... what should i do to changed that?
     
  4. Except capabilities and user UWP applications that are removed via DISM, almost everything the script the does can be reversed on a live system (via registry).

    Having said that, I give you some hints:

    1. Camera can be enabled in Settings in Permissions settings. Not any tweaks are necessary.

    2. What regards Microsoft Account, try to run the below (command line), reversing script settings:
    Code:
    Reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftAccount" /v "DisableUserAuth" /f
    Reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "NoConnectedUser" /f
    Reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Settings\AllowYourAccount" /v "value" /f
    Reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Settings\AllowSignInOptions" /v "value" /f
    Code:
    Reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessAccountInfo"  /f

    Everything installed smoothly for me, but now I'm having trouble with the internet connection.

    Internet is connected via ASUS USB dongle (no other way to connect). Dongle has functioned reliably on an Integrate7 build for years, but now the connection drops out for a few minutes randomly, and especially when connecting to a new domain. Connection reestablishes after a few minutes, sometimes longer. Sometimes I have to manually disconnect and reconnect.

    I uninstalled the drivers for the dongle, disconnected the device, restarted the PC, reinstalled the drivers, and reconnected the dongle. Still the same problem.

    I suspect there might be some setting within the Slimdown10 policy that is causing the issue. Any ideas what might be the cause?

    something like cmge, but in polish :) excellent job. everything works as it should. I am using your firefox script also.
     
  10. Yes, you can comment them out (via REM prefix) or remove them completely. It is your decision what you want to keep or modify.
    Your preferences does not have to meet mine.

    I'm kinda hesitant about asking this question after the recent 'warm' discussions about W10 LTSC, but here goes:
    I'd planned to run the Slimdown commands on a fresh (home use) install of W10 Enterprise 22H2 19045.2728, which is described as 'Pre-activated'.
    Will Slimdown work on this OS?
    Or would it be best run on a fresh W10 Pro version from the MS server, activated via KMS?

    Well pre-activated homebrews arent a thing we talk about here;) Its always better to make your own with our guidance.
    But Slimdown doesnt touch anything like that I bet, it woudnt make any sense.

    Slimdown10 is for offline Image configuration, not for use after installation.

    It should, but when using Enterprise, I recommend change this line:
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v "AllowTelemetry" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f > NUL
    to this:
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v "AllowTelemetry" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f > NUL
    ie. telemetry level to 0 (zero), which is possible only on Enterprise versions
    It should not have direct effects, because telemetry services are already disabled.
    But for purity, it should be set to lowest level possible on your OS.

    I just download it right now and don't use it yet, but there is a possibility that this tool work with Win 11 too, like 22621.1470?

    Thanks in advanced for your great job!:worthy:

    Best Regards.
