I also don't install all of this except MediaPlayer. This MediaPlayer suits me perfectly.

 

Here are smart people write: Reducing the Size of WIM-archive. The only way to reduce the size of a wim archive is to get rid of unnecessary content in it. But there is a catch. When you delete data, it is not physically deleted, but rather moved to the deleted partition.

Can anyone tell me where this damn partition is and how to delete it?

To significantly reduce the size, it is necessary to streamline the contents of the winsxs folder, but this may result in the inability to install update patches

 

Yes, that's true, but the thing is that the contents of this folder cannot be edited manually, so as not to disrupt the system. And those programs that could do this at this stage are not so perfect that they could carry out a complete and correct cleaning of this folder from everything unnecessary and unnecessary without serious consequences for the system.

There is such a collector - Den. So it has a winsxs folder has a size of 55 MB!!! How he does it I do not know. But since everything in its image is cut to the "very tomatoes" then the work of this system turns out accordingly. Some of the users really like it - personally I don't really.

A very concise commentary on the proposed material ...

I don't quite understand what you're talking about? What did you mean: for the system to work properly, this is the only thing that can be left in folder WinSxS or are you suggesting that you remove it from it?

 

left in folder WinSxS,Others can try to delete

 

Got it, thanks, we'll edit WinSxS. Let's see what comes of this...

 

If you do, you must accept the following result
Probably the system installation must use Unattend.xml
After installation the system can no longer be updated and update patches cannot be installed
Cannot adjust enable or disable feature page content

I tested this WinSxS, yes, everything is as you write:
Once installed, the system can no longer be updated and update patches cannot be installed.
You cannot configure whether feature page content is enabled or disabled.

That's why this is not my version of WinSxS. I need this to work.

 

Everyone's needs are different.
If you want the installation image to be around 1G, you have to make a choice.

 

Nobody argues about it. Personally, I would be satisfied with the size of the .iso image of about 1.8-2.2 Gb and I do not strive for its size of 1 Gb at all. So I'm looking for a way to get the image I want, but without losing the basik functions of the system. By the way, my SSD drive of the "C" partition is 256 Gb, so my desire to reduce the image size is also not connected with this.

 

hi this only makes system restore enabled.
repair my computer still is missing when using usb in install set up screen
