Why don't you justgetflux?Just found 2 possible themes so i wont need control panel app. Laugh but its all about the brightness of a window background, that white is just too white(?) Dark themes are usually pitch black, i want something grey or close to the old school Technics hifi house black colour, black/brown, easier on the eyes. I work in a darkened or low lit room so black black is bad for my eyes. See spoiler, black but not too black.
Or why don't you just use night light?
I liked the first but also the second starting from 1703.

Found a suitable darkish theme, im done.

You were right - 7 GB is being saved for refreshing Win10. https://www.howtogeek.com/425563/how-to-disable-reserved-storage-on-windows-10/
So I guess my footprint isn't much different from Win8.1 then.
The article above suggests not deleting the Reserve, as it's used for caching. (Although now this brings up the question of "Why a swap file?"
Maybe I'll delete it for run and see if I notice a difference. After all, it's not using my optimal drive for all this stuff.

7 pro(or ultimate?) with 3125574 was 7.2gb installed without pagefiles restore and hibbernation if i remember correctly. Cut out all that crap then 10 isnt much different to 7 and 8.1 in those respects, it just has a lot more running(not for long when i get my way )
)Pagefile? I havnt used a pagefile in years even with 4gb ram(have 8 minimum now) and liting(ntlite) video editing with Vega or vm's with virtualbox i dont run into problems.
The biggest bugbear with 7 was the near 1gb of 3rd party drivers so that would take the install size down to about 6.6gb roughly. If i shutdown search/indexing and defender, delete their program data folders i get a (about)500mb saving. I dont have as many 3rd party drivers on ltsc so i gotta make savings elsewhere.

No, Mshed introduced a swap file, a pagefile isn't enough.
Guys, shouldnt there be a possibility to download all the Cotrol Panels for Nvidia, Intel, Realtek Audio etc. with a Windows Version including store and then "extract" those folders and integrate them into a Windows Version without the store.
The reason Im assuming it should be possible is because most Windows Apps like Paint 3D, Calculator, Photos etc. dont require Windows Store to run. They only require a few components like VClibs 140, net framework etc.
Im pretty sure that if those folders (control panel files for Nvidia, Intel etc.) can be found, you can get all the stuff to run without Windows Store and only a few components that are required to run Windows Apps.

Gotta do a reinstall tonight, will have a look before i disable anything. Cant remember seeing it once ive tweaked and with hidden files etc visible.

Seems like Ms is following foogle steps, now many apps don't run if gogle isn't installed or updated when older apps didn't needed crap to work.
In which directory are the UWP Apps stored? Did anyone ever extract a UWP app, I mean any app from Windows Store, and integrated it into an ISO image? Does this work at all?
For the default Windows App like calculator, Paint3d, Photos, etc. you dont need Windows Store. They will work without the store, which is why I think that control panels also work without store, just like most Windows Store Apps. You might need the Windows Store to be able to download them, but not to run them.

Windows Apps are located here:
Program Files\WindowsApps\
Windows System Apps are located here:
Windows\SystemApps\
These Apps are extracted and more protected than other files, once I try to handle and remove some but trusted installer is needed.

Windows 8.1: How to disable Swapfile.sys
A.K.A. pagefile.sys for Metro apps. Without further ado, this is how:REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]"SwapfileControl"=dword:0After the reboot, Windows itself will delete swapfile.sys and from then on will act as it never existed. Pag...
msfn.org
If you have Notepad++, open your reg files and do a search for SwapfileControl across all opened files.
Thanks Kasual will have a look see if i have that entry already.
Edit - Its not in my pagefile tweak(or others) but something here deletes it anyway.
maybe its part of the "PagingFiles" entry, i dont know. Howtogeek says it gets disabled in the pagefile control panel wotsit, i have seen it summat todo with storeapps. Could be that im on ltsc(does that have some store or not) or i dont use store apps? bugadifino but something i have already deletes it. I am only tweaking for ltsc, not regular editions and i dont take them into account.
I'll have a look at the "PagingFiles" entry in my registry, see what the value is compared to my reg file.
Will put this aside for a while until i do my next test build and try without the "PagingFiles" entry and see what happens.
Edit - Its not in my pagefile tweak(or others) but something here deletes it anyway.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"PagingFiles"=hex(7):00,00,00,00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000000I'll have a look at the "PagingFiles" entry in my registry, see what the value is compared to my reg file.

Swapfile.sys can be disabled from your Pc by disabling the paging file.
There is also a way to disable it, but keeping the normal pagefile.sys.
