    Hey wkeller, what about implementing win7 taskmgr for Windows 10? I guess it's easier to modify and it would be a nice idea as it is much lightweight and faster, it could be an optional implementation tho.

    First of all I wanna apologize to @wkeller and @acer-5100, you got into a quarrel because of me,
    after further investigation I kinda find out what's wrong with the directx problem on my end.

    So I started use vhdx deployment from the earlier couple of pages back to deploy win10 slimmed
    by the wkeller script. So every time I did that the directx doesn't install.
    Then I decided to install on vmware using ISO, and voila the directx is installed.

    Edited :
    So when deploying wim file directly to partition DirectX install will be skipped because the DXSetup
    is reside within Update folder in ISO Files, so in order to fix that, I put DX9 folder in Script folder
    which is in Wim files, and DirectX is install perfectly fine

    I want to say thank you to wkeller for this slimdown windows. I had installed the slimdown windows home SL on my wife's Lenobo laptop and it is working great.
    She only watch youtube and other webased bideo. But now she is not happy to each time log in to windows with a pin.

    Is there a workaround to boot straight to windows without a pin.

    Thank you

    Hello, my first try with 1.41 default setting and ISO downloaded from MS. I notice an unmount error on install.wim. Anyway, iso was created successfully and "DVD" and "mount" folder was empty. Other than that, it was a smooth process and will try the iso as a vm next.

    The directory could not be completely unmounted. This is usually due to applications that still have files opened within the mount directory. Close these files and unmount again to complete the unmount process.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

    1. I do not know why you have PIN set at all, because after typical installation you shouldn't have PIN or password (unless you intentionally set up one).
    2. You can restore PIN options by running this command from Command Prompt:
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Settings\AllowSignInOptions" /v "value" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    3. Now you should be able to remove PIN from your account settings.

    That's strange. I recalled at installation windows set up pin log in requirement and i am unable to skip that part unless i had failed to notice that there is an option to bypass that. Next time if i need to reinstalled a fresh windows again i will take note of that.

    Anyway the command add reg did the job. No log in to windows now on my wife laptop. Thank you for that.

    I absolutely support. It would be good to have the ability to list which task manager the user should use.It can be placed in the "ExtraScripts" folder and everyone can choose to use the task manager from Windows 7 or use the task manager from Windows 10.

    Hello everybody,

    Need help.
    I like to have some options in the Context Menu on ThisPC, such as:
    - Device Manager
    - Manage (Computer Management - Local)

    The scripts work fine for other editions, but in this slimdow they don't.

    How could I make them appear again in ThisPC's context menu?

    see attached images

    When do you run the script..

    use setupcomplete.cmd in %WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\ in your Slimdown 'Iso or $OEM$ folder
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    what is the nature of your script for the context menu​

    slimdown has these values​
    Code:
    REM Disable MSHTA and WebView
    reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Hta" /v "DisableHTMLApplication" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f >nul
    Reg add "HKLM\TK_NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "WebView" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f >nul

    I disable these commands in slimdow.cmd while using Windows Post Install - WPI to install my applications at the end of everything.

    The context menu is the one reported in the images in the post above.
