    Dear friend, I want to edit LTSC2021. In this edition, it shows me in provisionedAppxpackage.txt an empty directory-like text.

    Use the script below. Rename with CMD extension.

    Place it next to install.wim

    Run it as administrator

    This will create the two txt files next to the install.wim

    Edited for add provisionedAppxpackage_full.txt (the previous one was captured after removal)

    Thank you very much for the instructions. I edited it for LTSC2021 and put it in Slimdfown10. Everything works as it should. Thank you very much again. Zdenda2021

    Just FYI: DisablePerfCounters=1 will prevent your GPU from showing up in the Task Manager, Performance Tab...if anyone cares about that. At least I presume that is the reason, but it could be something else? Windows latest updates or whatever. AMD RX 6600, all the AMD Software clocking/fan/temp/FPS stat displays still work fine, so no problem. Edit: AMD stat display shows CPU Use = 0.

    Also, if like me, you don't want the latest onslaught of new, forced bloat (Updates Health Tool, Windows Backup App, Edge), M$ has forced in the last few cumulative updates, Stick at cumulative update KB5029244 (08AUG2023 19045.3324). I think I am going to lock mine down there and leave it until...

    Which version of Win 10 Enterprise 22H2 or Win 10 iOT 2021 LTSC is better as there is no iOT 2022 LTSC available now?
    Thanks for the advice!

    Anyone heard from, seen, know the whereabouts of Mister wkeller? Looks like he has been away since, at most recent, September... Where ever you are and what ever you're up to Wojciech I hope all is well with you! While there are those that will trivialize what you made here (as that's the bulk of what they do on these forums) as unoriginal, derivative etc. there are a lot more that see the value, and the enormous amount of work you've put into something that is truly accessible and useful for a broad audience, works for a lot of people on a lot of systems, people that often don't have a lot (or any) time to go on the voyage to the bottom of the barrel that is the muddy landscape Windows system internals. As well this thread is an impressive testament to the amount of time you've put into helping and explaining. Thank you Wojciech! Take your time going, but hurry back, hope we hear from you again soon!

    Just an addendum for anyone using Slimdown10 on the latest builds of Windows 10: Microsoft has disabled IE in recent builds, Slimdown10 guts Edge as there's no way to block all of Edge's telemetry, leaving only Internet Explorer to download what you prefer in the way of a more secure and private browser, and with it disabled... Well, you're not out of luck!

    There's a simple work-around: Internet Explorer 11 is still there for help files and you can still launch it with this VBS script:
    Code:
    CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true
    Save it to a text file, and name it something like iexpore.vbs, stuff it in the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer directory with iexpore.exe if you like and create a shortcut to it -- launches Internet Explorer 11 just fine.

    I do not need Windows Store but I do need to install Appx packages. Do I need to adjust the script?

  14. These and other issues will be permanently solved in heavily reworked version 2.0 which will be posted tomorrow.
    I am just waiting for Nov 2023 updates to include them.

    The page does mention "No Sync - WebRTC - Widevine - All Codecs - ThinLTO - Ungoogled" & I remember watching something on Prime video in 1080p in that browser so widevine support should be there.

    Hi
    Hello mate, well I'm simply impressed with your
    degree of knowledge in software development such as Slimdown
    that last night I decided to try it and as I have been part of MDL for
    a few years ago, I've honestly never seen work like this and that's why
    I really feel proud to be part of this wonderful site with great
    developers and myself learned tons of things and practically
    every single day I learn something more... this way I have
    to thank you forever and more like most users of
    Forum knows the Dism tool and its script is completely using
    She's incredible!!!, no bugs, no "weird things" inserted"
    For this reason I decided to thank you publicly and being part of MDL is
    one of the best things in my life; I'm old but I still think
    that every day we learn more things even more in this segment of
    activity and finally continue like this and rest in the peace of our good God, ok.
    Thank you very much and now I'm going to sleep for at least a few hours...
