GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

[AeonX]

i could steal all your data with this profile on your pc.

A bit of an exaggeration here.

not even a firewall

Windows Firewall is not removed.

What I agree with is that you shouldn't use an Administrator account, I don't know why people like to use that, besides everything running elevated even those who don't need it will have several bugs with several programs that were made during or after the era of Windows Vista. Example: Drag and drop files in VMware. Besides others that I don't remember.

There are so few UAC popups, this was annoying only in Vista but from 7 onwards it's quite acceptable. Much better than accidentally running a script that ruins your OS. But for those who insist on disabling it, it's much better to just disable the prompt:

In NTLite go to Settings -> User Account Control (UAC) -> UAC Admin prompt and put "Elevate without prompting"

And NTLite is an advanced tool, you have the freedom to remove things that will break the OS, it's your responsibility of the consequences. Those who use this tool must be aware of this.

cherry pick and adapt where needed, we all have different requirements.

i made a win11pro 22H2 with the ability to create user account during setup (offline)
with Firewall / Guard and Defender up
with a second language pack (already tested and works for the entire UI, not speech etc)
with edge legacy, upnp network discovery, reserved storage off, hibernate off post-install, compatibility for discord etc

Hope this time the fkng sound of brave is saved or i break something.. i was thinking i have been fixed with this issues and now again, no matter if edge legacy is up, he want some other thing for sure
time to process and i test

This time no preset added.

I have running Brave on slimmed down Windows 11 for some months without issues, no idea about where the used preset is left but I could compare loading the host Windows into NTLite.

i start to thinking about Sonic Studio3 was the cause
Its a combined driver+software directly from asus support
maybe is better a realtek or nvidia hd audio without SS3

can i use microsoft store, bluetooth and wifi with this?

 

[Seaab]

And if i cant what components do i need to restore

 

[garlin]

can i use microsoft store, bluetooth and wifi with this?

Edit the preset in a text editor, find and delete the lines:

        <c>hwsupport_bluetooth 'Bluetooth'</c>
        <c>Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp 'Store Experience Host'</c>
        <c>Microsoft.WindowsStore 'Windows Store'</c>

 

[Seaab]

Thank you so much!

 

[Seaab]

i forgot to ask i use a keybord that is turkish q so do i need to delete it too? and is wifi supported in this preset?

 

[garlin]

Most templates expect everyone to remove all foreign keyboards, languages and fonts. You keep whatever you need.

If you need to add a different language from the base Windows, then follow this guide:

anyone knows how to make xbox app work? it crash immediately, I'm using "xbox console companion" app and store to install and use xbox games so it's not a real problem but I'm just curious to know why

what do you have removed?

is enabled "automatic updates" in the store's settings?

 

[meineomma]

nVidia control panel is missing
and even installing it via winget or microsoft store will not help. Each logon the error is displayed that nVidia control panel is missing.
Any ideas?

I've seen another report of problems with nvidia's control panel but I don't understand what could be causing problems in gameros preset, it seems to me that the minimum necessary is maintained but this removes a lot of things that I personally don't remove like wifi, file sharing, bluetooth... They are network services and a specific peripheral but many times seemingly unrelated things can cause problems.

When I remove or disable some network related things in boot.wim I have problems with ventoy.

Txmmy's preset is geared for the dedicated gamer, almost to the point he assumes you have an unmodded PC for normal work.
The "sweet spot" is probably somewhere in btw GamerOS and NTLite's Gaming template.

I read stories on other sites, where disabling UAC causes weird errors with specific apps launched from the taskbar. The question would be, does NVIDIA Control Panel still work if called by "nvcplui.exe"?

 

[realrobd]

Call me weird, whatever. I like using MS Weather.
I found a thread somewhere that instructed to remove a few Microsoft Store entries from the preset and all would be good.
Like:
Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp 'StorePurchaseApp'
Microsoft.WindowsStore 'Windows Store'

Well, all is not good. The MS Store icon is there but clicking on it has no affect whatsoever.
Tried installing through Powershell and IRM but one of the missing dependencies was giving me a headache so I said to hell with it.

Here is the preset.
