GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

[garlin]

Not trying to be harsh, but this thread is heavily visited by new NTLite users, mostly attracted from YouTube and other sources. Since they're coming "cold" from the outside, we have to keep this thread tightly focused otherwise it ends up answering every random question.

Txmmy originally created GamerOS as a personal project and shared it here. He doesn't get enough credit for starting it, and never promoted GamerOS on other sites. We can't control how it appears on the web, but all those questions arrive here.

winget is a tricky subject, regardless of whether you're using NTLite or GamerOS. The tool is easy to use, but harder to pre-install. It's MS fault for packaging the tool in an inconvenient format.

Không cố tỏ ra gay gắt, nhưng chủ đề này được người dùng NTLite mới truy cập rất nhiều, chủ yếu được thu hút từ YouTube và các nguồn khác. Vì họ đang "nguội lạnh" từ bên ngoài, chúng tôi phải giữ cho chủ đề này tập trung chặt chẽ nếu không nó sẽ trả lời mọi câu hỏi ngẫu nhiên .

Txmmy ban đầu tạo GamerOS như một dự án cá nhân và chia sẻ nó ở đây. Anh ấy không có đủ tín dụng để bắt đầu nó và chưa bao giờ quảng cáo GamerOS trên các trang web khác. Chúng tôi không thể kiểm soát cách nó xuất hiện trên web, nhưng tất cả những câu hỏi đó đều đến đây.

winget là một chủ đề phức tạp, bất kể bạn đang sử dụng NTLite hay GamerOS. Công cụ này rất dễ sử dụng nhưng khó cài đặt trước hơn. Đó là lỗi của MS khi đóng gói công cụ ở định dạng không thuận tiện.

sorry guys, because I just bought NTlite license and want to learn, I'm still confused. Thank you very much for the answer and suggestions because I posted content in the wrong topic, due to my limited knowledge sorry, hope you understand

We can't add Vietnamese support in NTLite, because MS doesn't make those files available to download. Some countries don't have enough Windows users yet to convince MS to make the effort. You have to add Telex keyboard after install.

NTLite can help with other Windows modifications, but not this one.

Hey,
Would anyone be able to help me, I used the GamerOS preset, added a few minor things, and once Windows is installed, I can't activate it. It keeps giving me an activation error code, Any chance someone would be able to help me?

I've attached the preset config I'm using

You removed 'Microsoft Client License Flexible Platform', which GamerOS doesn't. That's the most likely suspect.

GamerOS removes the Vietnamese language. Open the preset XML in Notepad, and remove:

 <c>kl-0000042a 'Vietnamese'</c>

I select these windows defender updates?

 

[garlin]

I select these windows defender updates?

What does this question have to do with GamerOS? Defender isn't removed in the preset.

It's not in the preset, I just leave the windows firewall service, because I use another security system.

 

[garlin]

If you don't use Defender, then why bother adding those updates? WU will automatically update Defender after you install Windows, but it might take some time before starting. The goal is to keep Defender more current, so your PC has better protection while it waits for an update.

Another quick question if anyone can help?
Using the GamerOS preset, I saw that there was a user predefined.
How do I change that so that during setup, windows will ask me to set up a local user?
I removed the preset user, and Windows went straight to the login screen, but there was no user created.

I hope this doesn't leave out any important steps.

1. Open Unattended page. Scroll down to User accounts / Local accounts. Find the Administrator, click the Remove X on the toolbar.



2. Scroll down to Shell options / Out-of-box-experience. Change Skip local account setup -> false. Change SkipMachine & SkipUserOOBE -> false

Would have been easier to just do a live removal after the operating system was install. Just a thought

 

[garlin]

Most users don't know whenever you leave a specific setting undefined in the unattended file, Setup (or OOBE) will be forced to display a Setup screen to ask you for missing details. You can keep as many or as few settings as you need.

It's not an all-or-nothing choice with Unattended mode. IT admins will often use partially-filled answer files.

If you did a live removal, then there's no point making a bootable ISO. Live removals should be saved for either live image testing, or removing reinstalls after a monthly update.

 

[SecureCPU]

Worked, thank you!!

but for some reason the MS Store won't open. any idea what I did wrong?

I attached the preset.

 

[garlin]

What do you mean Store doesn't open? If you wanted to restore Store (which the default GamerOS preset removes), read post #291.

This doesn't look like a full preset. Start over with a clean ISO, load the GamerOS preset. Redo the Unattended fixes.
Save this as a new preset (backup). Now create a new ISO.
