GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

- Start date
If someone wants to experiment, split this command to to another script. Since no reboot is required, it's relatively safe to run.
What you're learning is "What works for me" doesn't always scale up once you get more test cases. It's not your PC that matters in this case, it's all the other network devices in between you and the ISP's core network. And that can't be tested beforehand for someone else.
Code:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normalWhat you're learning is "What works for me" doesn't always scale up once you get more test cases.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the theme, it happened to me exactly as Hellbovin reported, the speed was limited to 2.2MB/s per download, I tested up to 4 simultaneous downloads and all with the same speed.

C:\Users\Luck>netsh int tcp show global

I started typing up a reply with tips and it began turning into a full guide lol. I have plans to release a network guide in the future, but I really want to finish version 2.0 of my Optimized Image first.
In the meantime, I'll try to explain the basics. There's 3 usual places we can tweak network settings. One is the router, another is the computer's network adapter, and the last is the operating system. Those are also listed in the order of importance and where your priorities and focus should be. Modern operating systems now respect high-speed connections out of the box, so there really isn't a lot of tweaking there that will make considerable difference, and most gaming problems actually originate in the router anyway. The one Windows tip I would suggest trying is below:
For the operating system, disabling Nagle's algorithm is probably the safest and easiest tweak to experiment with, and it could improve some network aspects, depending on the circumstances. Even then it's kind of a mess of a topic because we have to get into TCP vs UDP and everyone gets confused. Just try it out for a few days and see if it helps your particular setup, and if doesn't then just delete the registry key.
I'll try to explain what Nagle does with an analogy. Imagine you have a fleet of cars and want to transport people to a destination. Nagle wants you to fill every car to it's maximum occupancy before they drive away, which means people stand around waiting. Disabling Nagle allows any number of people to get into a car and leave, even if it was just 1 person. Basically, Nagle wants to make the most of every data package your computer sends, so you aren't "wasting" anything. This adds delay to your packets because it takes longer for the "cars" to fill up.
It would add a lot of text for me to explain how to disable Nagle because it's not a generic registry key since the path uses a GUID for your network adapter which changes on every install. If you Google around there are a lot of guides on this. Another option is to download the TCP Optimizer tool from Speedguide.net then click "Custom" and change the 3 Nagle options in the advanced tab.
You can also use that TCP Optimizer tool to experiment with the other settings, and you'll see the TCP Tuning option in it too, but believe it or not a default Windows 10 install gives me my ISP's maximum speeds of 940 Mbps for download and upload, and using the tool's "optimal" settings drops me down to the 700's in the download. I believe this is because the latest version of that tool has a few bugs and/or maybe something in Windows isn't working as expected. Either way, I don't use the tool anymore, though it worked great for older operating systems.

Hi guys,
I used the preset with minimal modifications, but I don't have any language (keyboard) bar at taskbar, as it was originally.
Installed a second typing language, but it doesn't work at all (Shift+Alt). Does anyone know how to recover it and where to change it in NTLite for future installations?
Thank you

Always integrate your languages into a clean ISO image (1), then apply Windows updates (2), and GamerOS preset last (3). This order is very important for it to work.
Run this PowerShell command from Post-Setup (User):
Code:
powershell -nop -ep bypass "$List = Get-WinUserLanguageList; $List.Add("fr-FR"); $List.Add("de-DE"); Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList $List -Force"xarisathos

Thank you Garlin for your quick answer, but I couldn't make it work since I am a total newbie.
The problem is that I don't know how to integrate languages into a clean ISO image, althouth I've read some generic posts about it for Win11, but I'm not sure if they'll work in NTLite at the end.
I tried to went through all the settings one by one (in NTLite), trying to re-activate my missing features (and adding my native language), but the language integration thing is something that I don't get it, maybe because I am a linux guy and the Windows commands seem alien to me yet.
I need to build a Workstation (with W11 Pro For Workstations) for media creation. I did already couple of custom ISO attempts but few essential things (for my workflow) are still missing.
My method was:
1) Extraction of the downloaded W1122H2v2.iso to a folder, which I load it in NTLite
2) Downloaded and Enqueded Windows updates
3) Load GamerOS preset
4) Enable 2nd language for the keyboard from the settings that were disabled
5) Started my modifications (still can't enable MS Store, I need it for AV1/HEVC/HEIF/NVIDIA control panel/Dolby Atmos) going through each menu, many things worked, but the MS Store pre-installations didn't work (ie. Dolby Atmos). Couldn't find any other of the above codecs & NVIDIA panel.
6) Inserted the PowerShell command from Post-Setup (User) with my native language as given above.
7) Created the ISO and burned it to a USB drive via Rufus, where I needed to disable TPM requirement (from Rufus) although it was prior disabled in NTLite. Without it can't install custom ISO via USB, which seems very strange that some tweaks don't work from NTLite.
After installation, can't find ANY way to install 2nd keyboard language, and Shift+Alt doesn't switch to another language that should be pre-installed. The option to appear at the taskbar (as it was normal) is greyed-out, although I enabled all the necessary checkboxes found in NTLite.
Lastly, what setting is it that I can't type at the Win-Start search bar more than 3 letters and dismisses my typing entirely?
I would be grateful if you could guide me.
Thank you

1) Download and extract 22H2 to a folder, which I load it in NTLite
2) Download additional Language Packs, using this PowerShell GUI script.
3) Add LP's as updates. Apply to image, integrate. Save this new image as your master ISO, instead of using a clean ISO.
4) Download and enqueue Windows updates
5) Load GamerOS preset
6) Enable 2nd language for the keyboard from the settings that were disabled

When you apply the TPM bypass, it must be added to boot.wim (WinPE Setup). You can check Reapply tasks across editions / Configure - Settings in Apply screen to save yourself time instead of loading boot.wim separately.

Excellent, many thanks; it did work fine with all the essentials I needed, and the machine now breaths fresh air!
A couple of more things, please.
1) How do I enable in NTLite the hidden icons at the taskbar, next to the clock? It seems to be constantly having all icons visible and I need to hide most of them.
2) Now, it lacks the ability to "Safely remove USB drives". The menu pops up but it doesn't do anything as it did in the past. How can I disconnect any removable drive now without damage? Can it be re-enabled somehow?
Thank you once again and God bless you Garlin for your precious help!

Windows: Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Select which icons appear on the taskbar > Always show all icons in the notification area
NTLite: Settings > Desktop > Taskbar - Button grouping
This is probably a bug from a component removal. Open File Explorer then right-click on a drive and select "Eject" to safely disconnect a device as an alternative approach, until someone figures out which component causes this issue.

Thank you Hellbovine and garlin, for your replies. Still, the only thing that worked was to turn the hidden taskbar icons on/off via the registry since the "Always show all icons in the notification area" is missing from Windows' Settings but exists at Startisback app taskbar options (which I'm using with Win11).
Regarding the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media," no luck; it doesn't work either at File Explorer. It does for mounted ISOs, but my external SSD drive can't be safely unplugged, which is a huge bummer. I also looked at the mentioned thread, but it will still take me over 4-5 hours to alter these two missed settings that cause it to break on a 13900K. I don't dare to do and start all over from scratch, but at the same time, I don't know how to live without this simple but essential thing without damaging my data.
I need to check and confirm that 'Device Setup Manager' from 'Remoting and Privacy' actually is the problem since it's been 1.5 yrs since the thread post.
Anyway, thank you both for your time, you really helped me a lot to make it work. God bless you both guys!

Maybe u can convert ur preset to a playbook that can be used in AME wizard a project by ameriolated.io so then both the paid and free users can use that playbook, just a suggestion though!!!!!!
NTLite is supported by the hard work of one developer. If you want to play with other debloating projects, that's your call.
AME Wizard is mostly post-install tweaks, but for removals it depends on install_wim_tweaks, which is nowhere as sophisticated as NTLite's component removals. A prettier OS isn't necessarily a faster OS. GamerOS is about stripping for performance.

Ntlite is well worth the buy, bought it full price originally it's just that good. It's the Christmas gift that just keeps giving.
