    In the $oem$ dir the runoncex.cmd appears to delete the search bar & kills/greys out the explorer icon also. Can you advise?

    Where do I set my login and password to enter? I received a window to enter at the end of the installation.

    Write the name and, if desired, set a password that you want to use when logging in.

    Windows Search can be disabled in several ways.

    It may be removed by the code below:
    It may be removed by the .reg or .cmd file:
    And it may also be removed by the termination script:
    I'm trying to fix this for the next edition.

    Please wait a little longer.

    If you are using an autounattend.xml, you can set this to be automatic, as in the attached example.

    This shouldn't work with 24H2_Gamer OS v.5.0. It has a completely different structure. For SunLin, I provided this script to analyze its code and nothing more.

    Can you advise the structure layout, you only provided the script?

    I am unfortunately not prepared to understand this, but thanks anyway. Realizing my mistake, i simply removed it from the installation and everything worked. I also noticed that this build works quite quickly, compared to what we have "out of the box". My Core I7 3770 with ssd sata are satisfied. Used 24H2_Integrator_10.10. The source was Win 11 Enterprise (non-ltsc).

    A little later, I will test it some more, once I finish the tests I will provide it.

    Hello. I follow this thread from the beginning and I think it is the best source for modifying windows. Congratulations to original author wkeller and SunLion for continuing the script and to everyone for adding so many great ideas.
    I am using a simple script with the same technique as balanadi and sainfo for my windows 10 ltsc install. I mostly remove packages with dism from the offline image which reduces the size a lot with little effort. I could post the script if you believe it can add something to the conversation. It is pretty barebones but I made it customized to my preferences and it serves the purpose.

    I would really like to see your script. We will be happy to test it. There is always an opportunity to discover something new.

    I tried ''sainfo''s script and I can say that it creates a 4gb ''install.wim'' file.
    and this is without using NTLite.
