    Restore Windows Photo Viewer with file associations [Windows 10/11]

    They specifically warn you not to remove existing associations, otherwise it triggers a storm of app reset warnings. The reason you don't notice is because you've blocked them: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] "NoNewAppAlert"=dword:00000001 1. How to...

    Restore Windows Photo Viewer with file associations [Windows 10/11]

    MS actually recommends for you to append/merge FTA changes on top of the image's normal associations. In your example, the XML doesn't include any of the other default applications. Attached is a copy of W11 23H2's default XML with "Windows Photo Viewer" replacing "Photos".

    _manifest folder in the ISO image

    That is a Russian-hosted site, so you need to decide if that's trustful for you. If you need to download older W10 images from a real MS source, there are two options: PowerShell GUI for Downloading Windows 10/11 ESD images - W10_11aria2ESD.ps1 Trouble finding W10 21H2 ISO UUP dump is another...

    _manifest folder in the ISO image

    Was this ISO created using MCT? If you downloaded it from a non-MS website then I would look for a more official source.

    Restore Windows Photo Viewer with file associations [Windows 10/11]

    Brink's method restores the missing registry entries explicitly, while using W10-style Default Associations does it implicitly. The other difference if you want to squabble over the individual format mappings. In the end, photoviewer.dll doesn't care and opens the image anyway even if a PNG...

    _manifest folder in the ISO image

    That's not created by NTLite, to my knowledge. Where is this folder located? On the mounted USB drive, or inside the ISO file itself?

    GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

    NTLite permanently removes any component which gets unchecked. You may see some networking and HW device features missing from GamerOS, because Txmmy didn't care about them on his PC. The easiest way to find removed items is by opening the preset in Notepad, and looking for XML lines with...

    Newbie question (Unchecking Components)

    The checkbox's color bar represent which default (removal) template they belong to. Because the templates are graded from safest to unsafe, they can be used to judge the risk of removing this component. Device drivers, on the other hand, don't belong to any default templates and therefore get...

    Newbie question (Unchecking Components)

    Gray colored components are locked by Compatibility mode. You need to read the Extra info column, and uncheck the Compatibility mode protecting it from removals. This is done to prevent accidental removals of important dependencies.

    Two NTLite Questions

    From Unattended mode, the Configure disk wizard has a "double arrow" for extending the system partition. Due to a design problem with unattended files, this moves the Recovery partition before the Windows partition. That's because "extend" means "extend until the end of the disk", and not...

    How do I get this Windows installation screen to appear in NTLite?

    The only way to see this Repair option is NOT to use Unattended mode. Having an answer file causes Setup to skip certain screens.
