Fixed. (But the ppkg problem persists at my end.)

Yeah, I noticed that the version number stayed the same. Is this intentional? (Will plan to dnld and test latest version tonight and report back. Tnx.)

Am running NTLite 2.1.2.8047 on a friend's Acer Laptop. After Activating NTLite for the latest features, I tried downloading Updates. While Updates has worked in the past on this laptop, it did not work today. The message presented by NTLite was: "Detected unsupported Windows Version." There...

This problem still persists for me. (Even tho I see something about it being fixed in an earlier release of NTLite. (A regression error.)) I updated to NTLite 2.1.2.8047. I even Activated it. When I load the Live Windows image, I still get "Unreadable or unsupported c:/ ... /usmt.ppkg. Is...

For what it's worth, the Win10 Laptop updates itself via Microsoft's automatic (forced) updates. Whereas my Dell Desktop is frozen at a nearly vanilla version of Win10. (That is, no CU's on my Dell Desktop.)

Okay I installed .7917 on my Dell Desktop. As with updating NTLite on my friend's Laptop, I did not re-Activate NTLite. In this instance (my desktop), NTLite does NOT report an "Unreadable or unsupported file: C:\Recovery\Customizations\usmt.ppkg" So, this appears to be a two variable problem...

I tried .7917. No change. Still getting this report. I'll plan to try .7917 on my desktop later today to see if I get the same behavior from NTLite.

Oops. I spoke too soon (regarding the striked-out text, below). This problem is following NTLite. Well, apparently not an NTLite problem, per se. First, one reason that I couldn't see the Recovery directory was because I had set the visibility of System Files to Hidden on my friend's laptop...

I just re-ran NTLite on a friend's Win10 Laptop (Acer brand) to remove reinstalls after a recent (forced) Win10 CU. I had installed - and activated - NTLite on this laptop in March. When I ran NTLite today (May 11), I got a notice that there was a newer version of NTLite. Would I like to...

Or maybe it's because, when I install Windows, I don't have an Internet connection? And so MS can't create an online account for me from which to snoop?

Apparently I did something right with NTLite. 'Cause no streams here.

I've never heard of "streams" before. So I went to Sordum's website to learn about Streams Remover. He says that all files on an NTFS volume have a stream attribute. But I looked at files in my download folder (which I download to another partition - not the standard Windows' "download"...

I just ran NTLIte v 2.1.0.7820 on my Win10 Home, just to see if I needed to do anything to my Win10. When checking for updates, I noticed that a KB is labeled as a "Servicing Stack Update (Legacy). See text underlined in blue in the screen shot. I'm wondering what the importance of the...

I remember seeing something similar years ago when running NTLite. (I reported it in the forum somewhere.) I would see a stuck "RunOnce" in either AutoRuns or CCleaner. For a while after that, I used to only run NTLite from Admin - and then reboot into Admin immediately after, in case it was a...

There is a product (well, as much as 'software' is a product) in the works that might be able to restore slow SSD's. Here is a (free) precursor to it. Some people say that just running the ReadSpeed benchmark wakes up their SSD's garbage collector and restores some performance. (Note: At this...
