Thanks. Run into the same issue.

That worked!!! Thanks!!! There must be a hidden update that adds them because I run NTLite every time after an update. Do you happen to know why I have to choose between 32bit or 64bit when starting the Local Group Policy editor?

Thanks for the suggestion. That is what I am now doing as well. I add the folders to the Quick Access instead using another script.

I'm almost done with my fully automated Windows installation (> 50 applications automatically silently installed and configured), but there are a few (hopefully) final things I need to fix. Any idea how I can change the following programmatically? From what I have read it is called "folder...

Thanks. I just enabled the Windows Defender app this time so that I can at least control it when Windows Defender is enabled by an update again. I will now just turn it off by using Defender Control or applying NTLite to the live system again. nuhi Let me know if there is going to be a solution...

The latest CU reenables Windows Defender, tamper protection and real time anti virus protection. I do not have the System Security application (because I removed it) so I cannot even disable the tamper protection. It is not possible to disable it via the registry anymore. Also Defender Control...

Can you elaborate it better? I am trying to understand.

Indeed. Windows is too much of a black box for me. Things can suddenly break down without you being able to easily find the cause. Hidden updates, some service changing params. Have this problem with my Android phone too, over time it gets slower and slower. This is something I never had in...

Thank you. Very helpful. This will help me get closer to a more deterministic Windows without having to reinstall/redeploy every day. The main reason I'm going full NTLite is because I had enough of games working perfectly and then suddenly one day there's a 10% performance hit that I can often...

Yes, that would work. I have no problem paying a little more for that (per year). What I would also like is a way to apply a preset from the command line if that is not already possible (need to look it up). This would help me a lot in automating keeping my Windows installations up to date and...

I currently have 3 machines at home. 2 desktops, 1 laptop. I installed my NTLite modified Windows 10 and 11 on all the machines (next to Linux). Now after about a month most of them have received Windows updates which have enabled some components, services and settings that I had originally...

The script in my archive installs Winget on Windows 10/11 when it is not there.

Okay, thank you everyone! I created installer scripts for the runtimes / redistributables according to your suggestions. Update: If you use my scripts you first have to run the WinGet installer (step 1) for the rest (the step 2 scripts) to work.

Thanks. I already install those (and the 2008 one) using WinGet and it works well. Ah, it is the web installer that wants to install the Bing Toolbar. This one is better.

Any repacks for the DirectX runtimes?

Thanks I just wanted to ask if there are any repacks because the official installer is quite old and asks to install the Bing Bar. I have already installed the C++ redistributables with winget by using: winget install --exact --id Microsoft.VC++2015-2022Redist-x64 --accept-package-agreements...

I wonder if that component is responsible for backwards compatibility to support older DirectX versions, especially 9. If so, I think it should be added to the game preset or compatibility protection.

Which component / feature did I remove from Windows 10 that causes RivaTuner to show the message "Required DirectX runtimes are not installed!" at startup? From what I've found I have to install the "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)", but RivaTuner always worked fine using a full Window 10...

I did multiple reinstalls of my custom windows ISO. What fixes it every time is disabling and then enabling the VirtualMachinePlatform feature. The first time VirtualMachinePlatform is enabled, it is broken, Hyper-V RAW is missing. Then when I disable and enable VirtualMachinePlatform again...

Fixed it. I had to disable the VirtualMachinePlatform, Hyper-V and WSL features: > dism.exe /online /disable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V /all /norestart > dism.exe /online /disable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /norestart > dism.exe /online /disable-feature...
