No, "123" is just an example password. Yes, I included that section in case you want to create a local user with automatic login. In my case this is added mainly because there are various reboots actuated by my autounattend.xml where automated tasks are performed, but in general I also prefer...

Here's an example from my autounattend.xml (root of iso) that creates a local user account with a more richly populated OOBE section. It creates a local user account named "User" with auto-login (requires pass in that scenario) <AutoLogon> <Password>...

But that point right there is well taken. It would then only become an issue to look into when future version of uwp apps that one might like to retain in the image would possibly require newer/specific versions of said runtime(s), upon which one would then have to figure out which to retain...

Yes, most definitely it would :) I guess what I was getting to was that the SystemApps seemed rather stable for a long period of time, and NTLite was programmed to address them (allow their removal). So what I'm suggesting is that it would merely be a broadening of the detection of those...

Yes, it is UWP apps updating in background. I think what I'm pointing out is that the type and amount (and versions) of these remained stable for me for a good while, to now see this jump to x64-x86 varieties and more of them, plus what would seem to be reduntant version of the same app with the...

I liked keeping modern Calc in there plus the Webp and other format support is handy because certain image viewers rely on it, etc. Resulting .3007 NTLite'd image install.esd size: 1.33gb. My Dec build was about the same size (little smaller, see above) and I've been running that live for...

Captured a WIn11 23h2 image from sysprep VM, updated to 22631.3007. Used the same preset to lite-n it using NTLite v2023.12.9553 --here are some findings: Resulting install.wim (not .esd) is 0.03 bigger than Dec 2023 build state. -- not much, but then I removed a few additional components in...

Check your install.esd/wim (with 7-Zip Manager or something), it should be listed under \Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_xxxxxxxx where it normally would be. Previously edited image?

Your arguments aren't without merit, and I can imagine many new users may like to find more presets posted and/or organized into pinned threads and so on. However, the nature of the beast of litening/modding OS's does kind of depend on a lot of personal preference, and that in conjunction with...

It means you should be able to disable SecureBoot and your activation will remain.

Yes you can include WebView using sysprep, use the evergreen installer to be found here.

Hi nuhi, great to see you too :) Thanks for clearing some of these things up, that helps a lot. What I normally did was install the Evergreen installer inside the sysprep VM, but from what you're saying is that I should install Evergreen after the NTLite run, all depending of course on whether...

Oh, I forgot to answer your question about cleanup, garlin: Yes, I always run a cleanup script in my sysprep VMs before finalize: @echo off cls echo. echo ********************************************** echo ************ Cleaning for Sysprep ************ echo...

Sorry, not me :) However, I helped nuhi a bit as a tester before his public release of NTLite, mainly regarding Win7.

I made 10s of updated images of Win11 Pro this year, and the sizes never veered more than about 50mb apart between images. The last couple of builds, the size increase is around 660mb (which falls in line with the size of the packed new Webview instances in System32 and WinSxS (how exactly the...
