aVRage's Windows 10-11 22H2 Preset

I am more of a motherboard kind of person. It's most likely the most important piece of the puzzle next to the operating system in any build. A great board can last for an extremely long time and provide exceptional value for the dollar.

As a side note there will always be something better around the corner but the motherboard is the one that sticks around
absolutely, i upgraded only the VGA and sitting on my Z390 maximum formula XI with a 9 gen Intel, no bottleneck, all good.
of course can be better with the new bandwidth of PCIe 5, but is in a good spot for some years maybe
 
i fall into video card hype :oops:
Hahahaha the truth is that games are not demanding better hardware unless yours is very old (I personally need to upgrade my CPU), any upgrade you do will be to play older games with better performance and more beautiful because current games are becoming simpler and less demanding, and there are no more good games lately, so in practice you end up playing the same older games over and over again lol

Ray tracing for me is something that still needs to evolve a lot to be considered in an upgrade because the cost in performance is absurd. On the other hand, DLSS is something that is very worthwhile and makes a big difference in RTX's, especially at higher resolutions.

Anyway I was referring to those who have the RTX 3000 series and upgrade to the RTX 4000 just because of the hype, but in practice they don't need it and they still support nvidia in bringing the new cards to their specifications, charging more for it.

This time was another thing not related to speech tts or speech recognition, it was more simple.
Some programs depend on it even if you are not going to use this feature, for example Format Factory from version 5.7.1 crashes on opening if you remove Speech.

But maybe it require just the API of speech, and not everything of Speech. idk

For example, in a previus preset i cutted out Recovery Agent + BitLocker Drive Encryption and relative dependancies (GuardedHost,EDP/WIP,Windows to GO)
Then i realized that Recovery Agent is responsible for launch "Safe Mode" and BitLocker Drive Encryption is required for encrypted drives (and vm drives encrypted), and now i checked only Recovery Agent + BitLocker, without GuardedHost,EDP/WIP and Windows to GO.
Because is what i can need.
This choices, detailed and chained in a visual way, make NTLite super!
 
I will take a look when I have some time and see if there is anything I can add to my Ntlite clean/tweaked windows 11 22h2. As Tasod said my windows is also in a good spot and don't want to mess it up too much. If I get a few, I will be happy enough.

Also as hellbovine said too I enjoy my store(some do some don't) but unfortunately the Xbox removals do cause problems in the future(for me and others). Windows tightening there grip with Xbox and removing that grip can wake up Mr Monster but hey if it works for you then power on.

Either way when I have time I will try,see and report.

Thanks
I have finally been able to try this out and there wasn't much that I really could take away from it since it goes too far with my build. I got what I needed from mostly cherry picking from gameros. If I remove anything else then I start to break the things I need.

If someone else gets something out of it then that's good.

By logic yes but unfortunately in practice with this program this does not happen. To be more precise the required component is 'Speech TTS' which has 'Speech Recognition' and 'Speech API' as dependencies. So it is necessary to keep these 3 components for the program to work in newer versions.

What I do is use Format Factory version 5.6.5.0 when I need it for some testing.

Personally I don't use it but it is a very popular software so I commented.

This is very bloated, it has a lot of features I don't use, it has adware and in the program directory a folder with thousands of python files lol

I like to use XMedia Recode to convert videos :) not like HandBrake it allows me to change the container video from mkv to mp4 for example without having to re-encode the video.
 
Buona sera, a proposito del mio problema, ossia se faccio la iso senza il tuo preset, aVRage10-11 funziona l'installazione sia la 32 che la 64 bit di windows 10 pro, se invece metto il tuo preset e parto con la creazione della ISO da windows pro 64 bit, poi è la versione a 32 bit che non va l'installazione presentando l'errore già citato, se invece parto dal Windows pro 32 bit il problema si inverte , ossia la la versione a 64 bit che si blocca durante l'installazione messaggio "Impossibile leggere l'impostazione <Product Key> dal file di risposte per l'installazione automatica" vedi se riesci s capire cosa crea questo inconveniente. Grazie

Please translate to English, before sharing your question.

To make a preset work on both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, check the Dual architecture [Doppia architettura] box before saving.

Buongiorno e grazie, ho provato e in questo modo il preset funziona su 32 bit se parto dalla 32 bit e il preset non funziona sul 64 bit e viceversa, se parto dalla 64 bit il preset funziona solo sulla 64 bit e non sulla 32 bit. si può risolvere??
Ciao e grazie, ho provato e in questo modo il preset funziona a 32 bit se parto da 32 bit e il preset non funziona a 64 bit e se parto da 64 bit il preset funziona solo a 64 bit e non su 32 bit.

Hello and thank you, I tried and in this way the preset works on 32 bit if I start from 32 bit and the preset doesn't work on 64 bit and if I start from 64 bit the preset only works on 64 bit and not on 32 bit. (make a preset , check the Dual architecture)

Have you tried it with just the GamerOs preset and not the aVRage preset ? if not, please try and report back if there is the same issue , and please remember to use a clean iso
 
ProductKey errors can be an incorrectly assigned license key, or using an unattended file made for a different platform (32-bit vs 64-bit).
NTLite can write both versions in the same unattended file, using the Dual architecture setting.

When you get a ProductKey error, Setup has not started in copying files from your image. So it's unrelated to the image contents.
 
Hey everyone , which presets do you recommend me for a pc with amd fx 6300 ,8gb ram and gtx 1050?
Recommending a preset is difficult without knowing the specifics of the purpose. IF it is for gaming, i would highly recommend the Txmmy one (the GamerOS) , and adjust to personal preferance.

 
The problem is not the preset, but the autounattended.xml that is created for the ISO.

I can tell you haven't even tried my answer. I don't know how many times I need to repeat the same instructions.
 
To be clear, is not supposed to be a better Preset compared to others Preset, it just fit better FOR ME and my expectation.

To Hellbovine of course your guide is outstanding for starting a custom preset, or i don't link and tag you as first step to do.
The first time i tried, was like you said, your base custom image + GamerOS but was just unsatisfied FOR ME.

I started again from your base and scroll down every single component and settings and made my decisions, failed for a month here and there, until the OS is functional without critical error, missed things and bugs.

-The guide say is tested with Windows 11 22H2 Pro, and is compatible with Windows 10 (but not tested from me)
-The "random" spoilers you talk about is my idea of making my custom image more "protected" and optimized at the same time
Of course is not components introduced to the Preset, its what i use to protect my PC (without Defender & Firewall from MS)
-The spoiler show the function of "Norton 360 for Gamers"
-A private DNS its a filter for DNS communication, and i use NextDNS as a private DNS
These are just tips i propose, because with this preset, without add any protection is just unprotected at all
-Reg Files is 90% the same as you release, i have just deleted things i don't like from Settings, for example, the sense function where you set to delete download folders and recicle bin after 1 day, or changed to do animated minimize/maximize windows and others little settings i don't like.
I choose to use your reg settings because maybe is more specific and detailed(ready to be used in windows), compared to settings in NTLite.
Thats why i used both, maybe someone overlapping, but as it is
-Host refresh is not supposed to be used, its an image functional for a year or more, without any update.
-Dunno why other screen is gone to the attachments
-NTLite works well with URI links, as explained links still visible if we don't remove everything from the component. The HideURIlinks.cmd its just a polished pass to avoid confusion when navigating Settings
-PropertyStore still here to create the path, thats where Sound save profiles for any app and remember the volume level of apps (this is not the same for UWP apps, UWP apps require Legacy as you know)
Internet Explorer is deleted from this Preset, so the path probably missing if not added manually.
-Photoviewbackground.reg is just the background "Black" when you open an image file with photo viewer
-two post because there is a limit of 10 uploaded file for every post

As said, i got a good result in my opinion. The system is smooth and clean, protected with 3th parts solutions, and performing well in gaming.
Thats it, the options/settings/component is the same for everyone, none can pretend to be so different from another OS created for gaming.

To be clear, i don't care if my preset going soon in the archive.
Someone just ask me to share it, and i first ask if i can share it public and then posted.
Critcs is welcome, if someone found bugs is welcome.
Have a good day :)


This is how is supposed to be with all my apps added
imagine how low your latency would be, with an Amd card
