GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

I used GamerOS W10 22H2.xml, which is supposed to keep the Microsoft Store and accounts working by not removing related components. The Store opens, but signing in doesn't do anything, no errors. Same with the Xbox app, the sign-in window just closes with no message. Any idea how to fix that?

What version of NTLite are you using?

There was an earlier bug fix for a problem where removing a Wi-Fi component prevented the Store app from opening.

I'm using the latest version 2025.05.10429. I don't think this is related, as I mentioned the Microsoft Store opens and I can download and install apps just fine. It's just that when I press sign-in, nothing happens.
 
Guys do you know what components do i need to enable to have spotlight wallpaper?
Also im having this minor annoying bug where every reboot, if i open "This PC" for example, then go to c drive, the back button doesnt work, and clicking "This PC" would open it in another window, it only happens once every reboot and then works as intended.. didnt happened on vanilla iso..

Remove this line from the preset:
Code: 
                <c>microsoft.windows.contentdeliverymanager 'Content Delivery Manager'</c>

Thanks, unfortunately both suggestions didn't work for me
 
OK, there was one extra line blocking Spotlight:
Code: 
<Tweak name="CloudContent\DisableWindowsSpotlightFeatures">1</Tweak>

Do this and the previous removal of <c>microsoft.windows.contentdeliverymanager</c>.

I guess thats the same as going to the registry and removing that value,
cause i tried that and also tried adding EnableWindowsSpotlightFeatures which didnt work too
 
In my experience, it takes a while before CDM resumes downloading content. It's not checking that often for new images (like once a day).

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent

changing "DisableCloudOptimizedContent"

fixed it for me!

how about the file explorer bug?

im not sure i explained it right...
it happens only once after a reboot,
let say ive done a reboot then opened "This PC" then clicked C: drive, when i hit the back arrow button it should go back to "This PC" but it does nothing... if i click "This PC" on the address bar it just opens it in a new window instead of just opening it in the same window that is already opened...
after this happens once, everything "goes back to normal" and stuff behave like it should...
meaning if i closed the windows and go to "This PC" again then to C: drive and click the back button it works all of a sudden and goes back to "This PC" without opening a new window...
 
If you're confident it's caused by removals, here's some possibilities:
Code: 
                <c>c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515 'File Explorer (Legacy)'</c>
                <c>desktopactivitymoderator 'Desktop Activity Moderator (DAM)'</c>
                <c>explorer32 'File Explorer - 32 bit'</c>
                <c>filehistory 'File History'</c>

Assuming it works (or doesn't), you can use the divide and conquer strategy. Divide the list in two halves. Delete half of the removals, and test the new image. Now you have an idea if the problem is included in the first or second group. Now split the bad group into two new halves, and keep going until you narrow it down.

Hopefully this reduces the number of total tries before you arrive at the answer.
 
All the time, I was trying to create an ultra-light build without any extra components (Store, Cortana, various services that load at idle, updates, Defender). However, I constantly break everything and cannot normally pass the installation, getting stuck at some stage. I need it for a laptop, which is not very strong. The main activities on the laptop will be playing games, as well as programming. Connected via wifi (often packet loss...), and I also connect an external monitor. Someone can suggest a preset for these tasks, because I'm tired of digging in ntlite(
