Slimdown11 – turn Windows 11 or LTSC 2024 into classic/legacy Windows

No, unfortunately, none of these three code options worked.

proabbly C is console, G is gui

 

NSudoLC.exe
LC = Light Command Line
This is a "light" console version.
Works only via the command line.
No graphical interface.
Ideal for scripts (Batch, PowerShell), where you need to run commands/scripts on behalf of TrustedInstaller, SYSTEM, etc.

NSudoLG.exe
LG = Light GUI
This is a version with a graphical interface.
Allows you to select from a list which account to run under (TrustedInstaller, SYSTEM, Admin, etc.).
Convenient for manually launching applications if you don't want to write commands.

Total:
NSudoLC.exe — for scripts and automation.
NSudoLG.exe — for manual launch with a selection window.

The keys for NSudoLC.exe and NSudoLG.exe are the same.
The only difference is how they are launched:
NSudoLC.exe immediately waits for a command with keys (clean console).
NSudoLG.exe will open the GUI, but it still understands the same keys if you pass them via the command line.

Example:
NSudoLC.exe -U:T -P:E "%~dp0Default.cmd"
The same can be done with NSudoLG.exe, but then:
NSudoLG.exe -U:T -P:E "%~dp0Default.cmd"

But most often NSudoLC.exe is used in automation, because the GUI version sometimes just opens a window instead of silently launching.

Here are some examples:
:: Getting Admin Rights by Run Script as Trusted Installer with nSudo or MinSudo or PowerRun
if /I "%~1" neq "asTrustedInstaller" (
title Run "%~nx0" Script as Trusted Installer...
if /I exist "Bin\%arch%\nSudo.exe" (
rem if /I exist "Bin\%arch%\PowerRun.exe" (
rem if /I exist "Bin\%arch%\MinSudo.exe" (
for /f %%# in ('dir /B /A:-D "%~nx0"') do ("%%~dp#Bin\%arch%\nSudo.exe" -U=T -P=E -CurrentDirectory=%%~dp# "%%~f#" "asTrustedInstaller" "nSudo")
rem for /f %%# in ('dir /B /A:-D "%~nx0"') do ("%%~dp#Bin\%arch%\PowerRun.exe" /WD:"%%~dp#" "%%~f#" "asTrustedInstaller" "PowerRun")
rem for /f %%# in ('dir /B /A:-D "%~nx0"') do ("%%~dp#Bin\%arch%\MinSudo.exe" -U=T -P=E -CurrentDirectory=%%~dp# "%%~f#" "asTrustedInstaller" "MinSudo")
) else (
echo.
echo.
echo.Run "%~nx0" Script from IntegratorW10 folder.
echo.
TIMEOUT.exe /T -1
)
exit
)


The commented lines are alternative check options for PowerRun or MinSudo.
You can uncomment the line if you want to use another utility.

This block automatically restarts the script via nSudo / MinSudo / PowerRun.

After restarting, the asTrustedInstaller parameter is added to the script so that it understands:
(I already have the necessary rights, I can continue working.)

Convenient, because you can write the main code below this block, and access will be guaranteed.

 

@SunLion I enabled search, though not working.

Code:

I will pass.

I will be sticking with release of SD10_Renewed_1.30 or 24H2_Integrator_12.7. W10 Pro and W11 23H2 Pro same expiry (Oct 2025). At final, only 24H2 remains.

 

Well, what's the point of clinging to something morally obsolete today (21-23H2). Especially since in the fall MS threatened to roll out 25H2. We need to live today and not drool over what was once, long ago ...

 

@SunLion Tested new script, search is all good now, still having trouble with modern calc, installs though refuses to open!

 

@SunLion Just ran another test, very close now but no modern calc! See our log attached. Thanks MC.

 

Hey SunLion, are you calling the Windows 11 spin of Slimdown10 "23H2_Integrator" because it integrates so many contributions to getting the poop out of Windows 11? I hope I didn't misrepresent your intentions here, and will fix it if I did...

 

Thank you SunLion for your endless endeavors on this project.

It lets us have good choices on different MSFT Windows.
