GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

Sorry guys, but I 'm back for your assistance.

Unfortunately, the info from the forum regarding the missing ability to "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" is out-of-date, and the "Device Setup Manager" from 'Remoting and Privacy" does not exist any longer in current NTLite at all.

Actually, the "Eject" button in File Explorer works properly for classic USB flash drives, but for removable SSDs doesn't.
I assume that must be a specific problem due to the nature of these drives being recognized and handled by Windows. It would be nice if someone could elaborate on that.

So the info is currently irrelevant for Win 11 22H2 I'm using.

The only thing that doesn't work is this, but I can't skip it and live without it; removable USB drives are a must nowadays.
Is anything else that you can point me to fix this issue?

Thank you again in advance :)

The BIOS is where I'd start, since hot plug functionality is handled their first. Look over your sata connections and the settings and see if anything can be tweaked to make the external drive appear as removable. Also try different USB ports.

If that doesn't work, open File Explorer, then right-click on the drive, go to properties, then in Hardware select the external drive and go to properties again. Now click "change settings" and then in the new window look at "Policies" and experiment with those options, since they also affect this.

As another idea, go to Windows Settings pages and look for the Bluetooth & other devices page, then click on your external drive and see if the option to "remove" it, or if three little dots appear for additional choices.

You can also mess with this in the registry, but it would make more sense to try and solve this permanently through the BIOS first.

Hi,
As I am doomed to the microsoft store, thanks to the Microsoft flight simulator game, I tested various windows lightweight images (Revi , Atlas, Ghost and GamerOS). Unfortunately, there have always been some problems. Either the game did not want to install, or it could be installed, but in turn could not be launched. I suspect it may be related to services that are disabled such as background apps or windows update. Therefore, I have two questions.
1. Does anyone of you know what services must be enabled for Microsoft Store games to work properly?
2. Can the GamerOS PostSetup.ps1 file be edited and what to remove?
I mention that using NTLite and the GamerOS profile I have enabled:
Windows Store
Xbox App
Xbox Game Bar Plgin
Xbox Game Bar
Xbox Game Speech Window
Xbox Identity Provider
Xbox TCUI
Xbox core
Microsoft Account Control
AAD Broker Plugin
Xaml.2.4 UI
VCLibs 140.00 UWPDesktop
 
Start by reading the notes on post #291.

PostSetup.ps1 can be edited like any script. Make a suggestion to Txmmy to re-organize his script to make it modular, and separate the purely performance tweaks from any aesthetic (UI) changes.
 
I've read it, but mainly I'm wondering if disabling microsoft update services or background apps or similar affects the microsoft store?
 
By default, WU will try to update your Store apps in the background but it's optional.

Background apps setting is really misunderstood, it suspends app activity if the app isn't in the foreground. It's to prevent it from wasting CPU cycles, so you can conserve battery life on a mobile PC. For example you don't want the Weather app updating its current forecast.

For paid apps, Store cares about:
- Passport (Microsoft Account)
- Store Purchasing
- Encrypted Filesystem (to encrypt paid content)

For Xbox Gaming account support, obviously it needs the Identity Provider & TCUI. The other Xbox Gaming features might be required by individual games themselves.

None of these features require much overhead, except a tiny bit from the Xbox Identity service running in the background. That's only called up when Games are launched.
