Do you want the lock screen do automatic change?One of the registry keys (I havent figured out which one yet) is preventing me from changing the background wallpaper for the lock screen.
Still searching.... driving my team crazy. Windows 11
I have tried to add a Windows 8 background image on logon screen but that hasn't been posible to me.I use this reg tweak to disable background picture on sign-in screen:
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] "DisableLogonBackgroundImage"=dword:00000001
I was using XP on my main machine until W10, so I missed out. This key is also not in any Tenforums tutorials (though it appears in comments from someone trying to get Brink to update a tutorial), nor can you capture it using regcompare anymore on W10, you have to manually dive into the registry or pull it from another program like NTLite. AeonX pointed that out too (link). Anywho, you won't find the combination of FlightSettingsMaxPauseDays plus SearchOrderConfig anywhere on Google. It was a painstaking effort to come up with this image on Home edition that made Windows Update work more like it used to in the old days, where users had some control.SearchOrderConfig has been around since W7.
This is correct behavior, so Microsoft fixed it. The only reg value that should stop Windows from installing non-existing drivers using Windows Update is SearchOrderConfig, the other values are for other purposes. But that doesn't stop Windows from automatically installing drivers that natively exist in Windows (Example: network drivers).and there was no change in how Windows Update handles drivers, with the exception of the newly added SearchOrderConfig. To clarify, I don't think the keys that are suggested are incorrect, rather they just do not apply to Home edition and/or 21H2.
Yes, Microsoft is removing a lot of things from the UI but for some things the equivalent reg value still works. Windows error reporting for example can no longer be disabled via the UI but the reg value for this captured in Win 7 works, the only other way is to use GPO.you have to manually dive into the registry or pull it from another program like NTLite. AeonX pointed that out too (link).

If you mean which components in NTLite can be safely removed, then unfortunately I can't help. Right now I'm working on tweaking everything else, and will get around to messing with component removals in the future. The only component I remove at this time is OneDrive. The rest of my guide is accomplished by integrating registry files, plus the two xml files used by Windows (defaultslayouts, layoutmodification).great guide sir , still there are i guess million files in components is there any safe list to look forward 2 ?
on my way to the suggestion you gave sir , thanks alot i bought this tool and whats the use if i cannot / wont experiment ...thanks sir againIf you mean which components in NTLite can be safely removed, then unfortunately I can't help.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to remove components, me personally I'm just very methodical in my testing and so it's a slow process of what does and doesn't make it into each new image that I create. Since component removals can break things, I've chosen to put those as the very last thing on my todo list.
If you have a machine that's purely dedicated to just gaming or something simple, feel free to combine the GamerOS preset with my guide here. My guide was meant to be moduler, which means you can pick it apart and use pieces from it that you want, or in theory combine it into an NTLite built-in preset or someone else's custom preset (I haven't tested it yet myself).
For anyone that wants to try combining them, you would first take an NTLite built-in preset or the GamerOS preset, process that, then when the image is complete, take that image and follow my guide to add my stuff on top of it. It's possible there might be a conflict, but it should be minor and easy to fix if one appears. Any errors you come across will more than likely be from component removals though, so be sure to post those questions in the appropriate locations, and not in this thread unless you're fairly certain a registry key here caused a problem.
sohey, any advice on how to track down a windows iso from 2 years ago LOL?
i'm about to just do all of this on a 21h1 july version
You might as well use 21H2 (November), if you're applying updates.sohey, any advice on how to track down a windows iso from 2 years ago LOL?

I haven't heard anything about control flow guard (cfg) being required for WSL (windows subsystem for linux). I'm not saying you're wrong, but can you explain how you came to that conclusion so I can learn?
Nothing in this image is "removed" (uninstalled). It's only disabled via registry keys. If your image requires *any* feature at all that is disabled in my guide, you have a few easy options to customize it to your needs:
Option 1: On your live install go to whatever you need in the user interface and toggle it.
Note: there are a few keys that are group policies, and those have to be deleted via regedit since you cannot toggle them from the user interfaces.
Option 2: While making this image in NTLite, right-click on the .reg files and "edit" them before you integrate, and then just delete or toggle the keys to suit your needs. In your case you could probably delete a lot of the stuff inside the security file which will leave Windows at its defaults for things like CFG.
All of the reg files have full comments on every individual key, it should be very easy to find and toggle what you are looking for, and in the few cases it's not obvious, some Googling of those keys should reveal the answers. Or post here for help if you still can't figure something out.
yes i think i did sirDid you also use the GamerOS and combine my guide onto that image?
