    I used this and it works GREAT!!!
    Just wandering if this will work on windows 11? Or, if there will be a new version created for windows 11?
    Thanks again for your great work

    1.2 GB used out of 16 GB and around 62 processes cpu uses 2%, whats more concerned me is that I only can activate it with kms vl all. The digital license I have for the same version wont activate on this slimmet version..

    I managed to activate with digital license using MAS_1.5.

    I use setupcomplete.cmd in the $OEM$ folder with attached content.

    Note that the Slimdown10 script creates the setupcomplete.cmd with the commands starting from line 16.
    What I did was add the commands from line 1 to 15, keeping the commands created before.
    It works without errors.

    Don't be fooled by pointless details

    Win8 (and older Win10s) counts as process a lot of svchost.exe, which in turn may contain dozens of services.

    Newer Win10 just details more counting each real process. Practically Older windows are cheating on you about the process number.

    What counts is the CPU usage and the RAM usage, and those are basically unchanged from Vista to a cleaned up W10 or W11

    Try group policy called Disable All Apps from the Microsoft Store under Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Store to Enabled and after activation restore to previous state.

    The service WU must be enabled to activate online, and AFAIK the script disables it alltogether, unlike the less draconian way used by winaerotweaker that disables WU w/o disabling its service.

    While you are correct and your input is valuable, the real measure of CPU usage has always been the threads and handles. They are way way more on Windows 10/11 than Windows 7/8.1

    As I've Shown In my screenshot, I've only ~400 threads and ~10,000 handles and on a fresh install RAM usage is around 400 MB. I doubt this is any way near in Windows 10/11.

    Any basic Windows nt 6+ needs around 600MB for x86 and around 1000MB for AMD64, on the same HW. Just test yoursef using multiple boot, on the same HW or inside Hyper-V/VMware.

    The mileage may vary depending the HW, but not by large extent
