Use NTLite.exe /forcelistcomponents

I use this too. It is very useful for some situations where it is not possible to boot and you may want to try entering safe mode or using the prompt to solve problems.

It's the same with me, that's one of the reasons I keep all the keyboards. During OOBE (windows setup) the same happens in the keyboard selection screen when not using autounattend.xml. On Windows 7 this does not happen.

I haven't tested this. I refer to errors in Settings app.

With me that doesn't happen. So it appears to be a specific combination of components or various combinations that cause this. But my scenario is a little different as I remove Windows Update and Component Store so less stuff is kept and active.

Try to keep 'Windows Push Notifications', 'AutoPlay' and 'Windows Biometric Service'. I compared my preset with yours, mine removes a lot more stuff without getting these problems and these are the most problematic components that I keep and you remove.

Thanks for the more technical explanation, didn't know about the virtualization thing.

what an irony lol :p

I believe that the entire infrastructure for running UWP apps (including Settings, start menu, etc) consumes a lot of resources. Anyone with a slow hard disk can barely use Windows 10 decently. Even a context menu takes ages to open. Win8.1 does the same thing as Win10 using much less resources.

I agree with you, it would be clearer that way.

Yes the most important is the hardware. I don't think that optimization on Windows helps to have more FPS, at most it can improve latency. But I think Windows goes into some priority mode when running a heavy task like a game and reserves most of the resources for that. However tweaks and...

Exactly. These are the same components protected and locked by Recommended compatibility and therefore recommended to be kept and not recommended to remove. Although this is relative and some of them can be removed. It will depend on what you need or not.

Well remembered. IMPOSSIBLE for two gameplays to be identical or close in a multiplayer game. In a single player it's already difficult, I don't even know how these channels on youtube do to test games that don't have their own benchmark and leave the gameplay similar.

But in this case it's a comparison between OS builds. It is assumed that in both cases the same hardware and graphics quality are used. The absolute FPS values themselves don't have any meaning really but comparing these values between OS builds, OS versions, drivers versions etc I see as valid...

That's why videos that don't have the average fps (FPS AVG) and 1% low I don't even see them :p at least AVG FPS is necessary to get an idea as FPS is something that varies a lot and any difference can be within the error margin.

That would be the main reason since everything else can be done with Open-Shell. But I like the look of StartIsBack too and the glyph icons. I don't really like the Open-Shell look and I don't really care about customizations. I know there are themes but none of them really appealed to me. What...

If the higher resource usage was due to useful features it would be acceptable but we know that most of Windows 10/11 is bloatware. Third party programs can do much more using much less resources, are much faster and more efficient (Everything by voidtools, StartIsBack, Open-Shell). If a...

For night light these components are necessary and must have their respective services intact (not disabled): But f.lux is much better than that and doesn't need so many services running in the background without you even using it.

Yes, but it doesn't allow adding language packs. I don't understand why the difference in benchmarks. Maybe some other variable is present since Pro in some tests runs with more FPS.

It makes sense. That's why before Edge came inside cumulative update on first boot in VM when I forgot to disable network the new Edge just popped out of nowhere without explanation :p
