For me, removing components is not about increasing performance. In fact, I doubt there's much of a tangible difference in doing so unless a person is using old hardware. It's to remove major annoyances that have been baked into the OS, such as the Windows Store and many of the telemetry...

See my above post. Components -> Windows Error Reporting Service -> Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel Support must be kept for Windows 7 Backup and Restore to remain working. Now that I believe I've found the root cause, I will go ahead with the GamerOS preset and continue testing...

I tried your GamerOS 10 preset (with Windows 11) and I could not complete the installation. There was an error during the setup phase that was unrelated to the TPM check. I'm still in testing here, but I seemed to narrow down the dependency for Backup and Restore to something inside Components...

Totally. I’m not here to say that you should apply any of the changes I’ve suggested. I just want to use your config as a starting point so I can make changes that suit my needs. It just so happens that Windows Backup is finicky as sh*t. I’ll give your new config a try.

I still have not been able to solve it… I am using the stock GamerOS preset for testing with nothing else removed. Here’s what I’ve seen: Tried the tweaks. I enabled Volume Shadow Copy and EFS. Workstation, COM+, Virtual Disk, SENS, and DTC services are all present and active. after...

Just to quickly add... The Win7 Backup and Restore works fully in Windows 11. I tested it in a VM with an untouched installation. I will try with the tweaks.

Unfortunately, no such luck with Windows 10 or 11. The calc app is completely dependent on the Store and calc.exe.mui does not exist. Might be a recent change with an update, I'm not too knowledgeable on this. I'll continue using the old Win7 calc, not the end of the world here. Definitely a MS...

I was able to solve my issues by enabling the following: Components -> System -> Volume Shadow Copy (API) Components -> Windows Apps -> Apps -> Notepad Components -> Network -> WLAN I did not know that the Calculator in Win11 is now a shitty UWP app. Apparently it has reduced functionality and...

I used the preset just this week, but I'm feeling it could use a minor bit of tweaking. Calculator is busted and Notepad is missing the shortcut in the Start Menu. These aren't gaming apps, but are still quite useful. Windows Backup is also non-functional. I do other non-gaming stuff that...
