NTLite will have some, but not all of those tweaks, and I'm not sure offhand which ones correlate to the menu text. What matters is that the last tweaks applied to an image are the ones that win. You could integrate the registry file into an image to pause things on a clean install, or...

The Windows Update pausing guide that is linked above will get you as close to your goal as possible. Pausing updates on W10/W11 doesn't disable it entirely, but turns off the primary automated features, and then it continues to run a limited number of components that check for and install...

I've thoroughly answered questions about Windows (W10/W11), editions (Home/Pro), versions (21H2/22H2), and builds (19044.1288/etcetera), dozens of times now. I mean no insensitivity, but it's exhausting to rehash this every week, so now I'm directing people to carefully read through the guide...

Presets and unattend files can be manually edited, but everything has to use the correct syntax or it'll fail. A common place people do manual edits is to delete component removal lines that are suspected of causing problems, rather than using the NTLite menu checkboxes. Were you able to get...

All these things can make a difference in DPC latency and are the result of many years of research, experimentation, and benchmarking from people like me and others in the competitive gaming communities, after spending countless hours trying to make Windows as close to a real-time operating...

Everything Windows 11 as well as third party tools is unrelated to this guide and needs to be posted elsewhere. The point of threads like these is to troubleshoot or discuss things relevant to the first post, which in this case is purely about using NTLite as the only tool to specifically tweak...

IoT isn't supported by NTLite, but the problem you probably ran into was that you are on the free version which removes less. If you're on a paid version, attach the preset you used so we can see why your results were this way. Edit your preset and remove passwords/licenses before posting. See...

Attach the XML preset so we can see the tweaks, but remove passwords and licenses from it first. Also give us some basic details about how you installed this Windows and what did and didn't work. Your post is really vague right now.

NTLite's download page says it doesn't support IoT. Is that still true nuhi, and what does it mean being unsupported?

Computer name, accounts, passwords, and logo, are all things you would modify in the unattend XML. NTLite will have some guidance in the tool, but otherwise you have to research those to learn more (link). The best advice anyone could give before you get started, is test everything in layers...

To answer your original question, yes to hardware agnostic and yes to uninstalling apps. The only caveat is keep in mind that removing components has the potential to cause file dependency issues, which means any software (Microsoft or third party) could malfunction, such as by failing to...

This guide is intended for W10, and although many of the tweaks will work on W11, not all of them will. The start menu is an aspect that needs new tweaks on W11, so using this guide as-is won't tweak that effectively, which is why the FAQ tells people to adapt the tweaks to their needs if they...

At the very top of the support article there's a small "more" in blue italics. If you click on that it shows the operating systems getting patched. I'm assuming the reason Windows 10 didn't get a "v2" like Windows 11 did, was because the patch on that OS was minor and didn't require it, but the...

I had purposely broken my visual effects so I could replicate this issue, and was able to repair it with my previous reply on an old desktop and new laptop. Both machines also worked correctly out of the box with my guide, so the issue should be outside of that. It sounds like something on your...

I hadn't heard much in the last few months about the BlackLotus/SecureBoot news, so I checked into the Microsoft article linked in the first post and it now has an updated timeline in the "Timing of updates" section. Below is a summary of that information and some takeaways: NEW TIMELINE NEW...
