    Hmm, interesting case. Everything is extremely simple: I take the Windows 11 IoT 24H2 LTSC [26100.2] x64 En image, localize it in ru-RU, process the image in your tool 24H2_Integrator_10.0 (only without integrating updates), and use your Preset - NTLite_preset_26100.xxxx_EnterpriseS_Slim.xml. I do not integrate updates because I do not see much point in this (it only increases the image size), since after installing the OS, the system will be updated via the Update Center to the current version.

    It's an interesting mode too.

    Remember that the script now has the DEBUG option, where you can integrate the updates or not. This is the first question.

    Of course, I remember about the DEBUG option. But I don't use it in my version of the script, I just comment out the update option in the script if I don't need it in this case. Personally, I find it more convenient. Your script is great and is designed for all occasions, that's very good. But personally, I don't need such a large arsenal of options in the script, so I simplified part of the script for myself.

    p.s. I forgot to mention that I use the 3.7 GB install.wim file (IoT LTSC edition) from the 26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_CLIENT_ENTERPRISES_OEM_x64FRE_en-us.iso image as a template. After processing the install.wim file with my version of the script and localizing it in ru-RU, we get the install.wim file size of 3.0 GB. After processing with NTLite, we get the image size of 2.8 GB. The final configuration of the install.wim file is done in DISM++ and after saving the image in the install.esd format, we get the image size of 1.8 GB. The assembly is updated via the Update Center.

    Hello everyone. Is there any updated script for W10 or the current one is still good to go? Thanks!
    In the long run, I think I will have to switch to W11 at some point.

    From the files that occur in the DVD folder, you make the ISO file yourself (after your editing is completely finished)

    Thanks a lot.

    EDIT: I created the ISO but whenever I try to install it on VM, it says there is no bootable disc. There is no such issue with W10 version. Any ideas?

    I just did a test here.

    See the images in the package.

    I made a small adjustment to the _CreateISO.cmd script to correct the language identification.

    The script creates the ISO based on the files that are in the DVD folder.

    It is working fine.

    ====================
    24H2_Integrator_10.2
    ====================


    Updated to version 26100.3624

    1 - added attrib command in Cleaning install.wim (CreateSlim4 and CreateDefault4), so that the files are actually removed

    2 - Appx folder now only contain Microsoft.WindowsCalculator and Microsoft.ZuneMusic.

    2.1 - On Business images, when "Don't Disable Store" is selected, DesktopAppInstaller, StorePurchaseApp and Store will not be removed. In this case only the dependencies will be integrated/updated

    2.2 - In LTSC and IoT LTSC images, the option to install Store and dependencies was added

    2.3 - In all cases, dependencies will be integrated/updated

    3 - Removed "Disable AutoPlay for other drives than CD/DVD - for security" tweak

    4 - Added "Disable_OneDrive_for_all_users" tweak in PersonalTweaks folder

    5 - Updated the all.txt for updates 26100.3624

    6 - Updated _CreateISO.cmd script

    6 - Other small adjustments were made


    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/slimdown10-–-turn-windows-10-22h2-or-ltsc-2021-into-classic-legacy-windows.86552/page-120#post-1872013

    Enjoy


    EDIT (Script correction)

    Please replace the script “24H2_Integrator_10.2.cmd” and CreateSlim.cmd + CreateDefault.cmd with this corrected one.

    Reason:
    1 - Error pointed out by @Dmi3y when “n” was selected to use PersonalTweaks.
    2 - Changed the DISM code in "Remove Provisioned AppxPackages", in the Slim and Default scripts.

    There is no need to be upset about this, because a more interesting option is 24H2_Integrator_10.2. Moreover, my script is compiled on the basis of this. I just left in this script only what I personally need.

    Do you want to Apply PersonalTweaks?

    These are some of the tweaks I use in my setups
    [ Performance - Context Menu - Others ]
    Do you Want to Apply Personaltweaks? These are some of the tweaks i use in my setups [Performance - Context Menu - Others] If you choose "n" then it immediately closes, if "y" is everything is fine, in general it turns out without a choice :) 26100.1742.240906-0705.GE_RELEASE_SVC_PROD1_CLIENTIOTENTERPRISES_OEMRET_X64FRE_RU-RU This is not how it is not recognized, but if you rename it in Windows_11_Iot_enterprise_ltsc_2024 everything is fine. Thank you
