Slimdown10 – turn Windows 10 22H2 or LTSC 2021 into classic/legacy Windows

wkeller: Thanks very much for the tip. You've spent a great deal of time and effort on this very worthwhile project and your work is much appreciated, even though many users may forget to say 'Thanks'.
schubidubi: Sorry, I could have better worded my post. I'll be working within a current W10 environment while I modify a W10 iso, using the Slimdown script.

As I said earlier, I'm just looking for guidance. If it's better that I use a clean W10 iso from the MS server, then that's what I'll do. Which version would be best?

 

@wkeller i would like to thank you for this wonderful tool to slim down Windows 10 , and i will try to test it with some modification to use it with 18363.2274 Pro which i believe it is a more than stable windows so far compared with 1904+++ which every update make it worst and worst .
As you said early i do not see the point of upgrading to Windows 11 (big mistake as it was Windows 8.1) , as long as i do not see an improvement in make it faster and more user friendly .

I manage to use some of your reg script and build an tweak command to be used after you install any windows 10 , and i am still working on it .

Thanks again and i will be glad to share with you my results after some testing .

 

Hi,

I try since one week or so to modify your script. I want to achieve that many things are more optional and I added a few Registry Tweaks I like.

I have absolutely no experience in writing or editing scripts. So most editing I've done is with the "if" "%Variable%" or the "if not" "%Variable%" !

I don't know should I ask here in this Thread or maybe open another in the Scripting Subforums?
Well, its related to Slimdown10 so I decided to ask here. I hope this is Ok.

But now to No.1 of my Problems...
Why does following not work?

Code:

:: By default disable most permisions for UWP apps
set "DisableUWPpermissions=activity,appDiagnostics,appointments,bluetooth,bluetoothSync,cellularData,chat,contacts,gazeInput,microphone,phoneCall,phoneCallHistory,radios,sensors.custom,serialCommunication,usb,userAccountInformation,userDataTasks,webcam,wifiData,wiFiDirect"

Code:

echo == Privacy Restrictions for UWP apps (custom)

 if "%DisableUWPpermissions%"=="microphone" (
   reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessMicrophone" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
  echo == AppsAccessMicrophone restricted
  )

  if "%DisableUWPpermissions%"=="location" (
   reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessLocation" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
  echo == AppsAccessLocation restricted
  )

  if "%DisableUWPpermissions%"=="webcam" (
   reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessCamera" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
  echo == AppsAccessCamera restricted
  )

It simply ignores the lines. But the Strings are in the %DisableUWPpermissions% Variable?

Edit I have found the solution for this!

Code:

    echo.%DisableUWPpermissions%|findstr /C:"microphone" >nul 2>&1
    if not errorlevel 1 (
       reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessMicrophone" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
    ) else (
        goto micSkip
    )
:micSkip

 echo.%DisableUWPpermissions%|findstr /C:"location" >nul 2>&1
    if not errorlevel 1 (
       reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessLocation" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
    ) else (
        goto locSkip
    )
...

This is the second part, here I had the Problems! It ignored some lines, even though the variables are correct and I didn't understood why?

:: ------------- End of Advanved Configuration Section --------------------------------------------------------

The commands should be OK now. There are for sure better ways to achieve what I want, but like I told before I have absolutely no knowledge in scripting. And sadly my English is not good enough, cause when I read over many Tutorials I got often more confused then enlightened. Maybe someone is willing to help me and show me a better way or what's wrong? Any help is welcome!

The rest of my modifications in the script work now mostly well.

Edit:
I've done it! The configuration section works fine now.
Now I have to test, with different settings applied, if the final ISO is usable.

Greetings...

 

i've tried your script with windows 11 (because i love tabs in explorer) and system runs great.

 

Wow wkeller is this ever handsome work; I've tried every slimming utility and kludged distro out the, and this one not only worked with everything, it was one of the most performant (I benchmark everything).

I applied this to Microsoft's Windows 10 Pro for Workstations 22H2 from the MSDN business editions March ISO because this used to offer some minor kernel differences that helped performance on some hardware -- you're script worked without a hitch.

I also turned off all the performance counters with Microsoft's ECL tool, and disable a few more services like the Event Log which reduces disk i/o and another source of telemetry leaks...



It would be nice at some point to concatenate some of the post install scripts here on MDL into an attractive command line menu system, and just get ride of a lot of Microsoft's junk pile of disparate interfaces.

For a lot of use cases one could ditch Explorer and have a very clean command line shell interface, with some well put together menu scripts and prompts to run a much leaner, more private, secure and performant OS for anything from gaming to general computing.

Thanks You Muchly For All The Work!

 

there are 2 errors during script is running:

1 "access is denied" error shows up 2 times when applying remaining settings. I can handle it by removing one by one (11 settings only ) for example "Disable Automatic Update of root certificates" etc I guess.
2 error 15610 when trying to remove desktopappinstaller and sechealthui packages. details from log: Failed to uninstall because policy prevents the removal of this package - CAppxManager::RemoveAllUserAppx(hr:0x80073cfa)

 

Updates needed after integration...a full update slimdown windows is possible?

 

What about this @wkeller?

 

W11...i ll test in w10

 

as for 1: there is no "access is denied" error after removing 2 settings: "enable classic win32 calculator" and "enable support for classic hlp help files"
as for 2: i confirm that in 1904x host everything is ok.

this is what i've done - download february 2023 english iso of win11 and svf package for my language which is polish
on 1904x host in script: a) delete 2 settings: "enable classic win32 calculator" and "enable support for classic hlp help files" b) turn off integrating updates c) replace "10" with "11" in section "REM Check Windows images"

 

You can change the script and test it.

 

so I did

 

From me - thanks for the new version.

Just yesterday I installed via version 1.3.0 Windows 10 Education 22H2.

How can I get all the new features of the new version 1.3.1 and update them at my place with Windows 10 installed less than a day old?
