GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset
- Thread starter Txmmy
- Start date
You don't. Start over with a clean ISO, load your saved preset, and make corrections to it before making a new ISO. After removing components from any offline image, there's no practical way to undo it except to start over again. This is why we have presets.
Sometimes it's just faster to open the preset XML in Notepad, and delete the offending removal lines.

Thank you. I have done everything again but this time I saved the xml file before applying the changes, if something fails I suppose I can delete that line in the file in an unmodified iso. TRUE?
A preset is just a list of changes that get applied to an image. NTLite doesn't know what's inside a random image, until it loads it. Anything that isn't applicable to the loaded image will get ignored. That's why the GamerOS works on W10 or 11.
The idea is you keep a library of presets, and whenever you mess up, apply them to a clean ISO. Starting over with a clean image means you know what's inside, and you don't keep previous mistakes around. Any mistake would have been something you did in the preset.

Preferably to learn and make your own build. You could certainly use these but sometimes it may remove something you may need it want just as a heads up
1. You can load a clean image, and choose either template. Preset / Save As.
2. Preset / New, and choose the other template. Preset / Save As.
Now you have 3 presets to compare with WinDiff, or another text comparison tool. That's the fastest way to understand the differences.

Everything works fine, I have solved everything. Just a small detail that, although it doesn't really affect it, I would like it to work normally,When you enter a folder with many files you can change the view. And this is saved for the next time you enter this as you left it. Well. The configuration is deleted when exiting and enter again the icons are seen again by default. So every time I have to change them to my liking. how to correct it? I promise not to bother anymore
Try going to Settings > Privacy > ShellBags and set it to Default
Or remove the following line in the preset:
Code:
<Tweak name="Shell\BagMRU Size">1</Tweak>Galamooth

Please post the preset you are currently using on your live build, because at this point there is 4 different GamerOS XML's in this thread for download, and some have the bagMRU and some don't, plus there is an optional minimal services registry file and a huge PowerShell script. We need to know exactly everything you have done to the operating system, such as any other tweaks/tools you downloaded or integrated yourself, etcetera. Also, check these tutorials (link1, link2, link3, link4) to see if they resolve the issue.
It would be better if all the files were put in 1 place only, post no1, correctly versioned, possibly packaged into a single zip file, rather than go treasure hunting on 50+ pages.

This is the one I used.

I did what was mentioned in the thread to get bluetooth and the store working, they still didn't work well. So it's the store, bluetooth, and the problem with the explorer not saving view preferences
Do not apply anything other than this preset
By the way, I didn't use anything other than the xml. Ps1 I did not apply it

LTSC releases don't include the Store app.

I'm using an iso that includes the store. If I install the iso normally everything works fine. If I apply gamerOS (without modifying anything) the Bluetooth or the store does not work in addition to the problem with the explorer.

Bluetooth and store are disabled IN the preset. you have to ENABLE them , so it will be disabled if you apply the preset without changing it to your needs

Ok, I have solved the problems, I will just ask what lines should I delete to restore Bluetooth? It's the only thing I'm missing

I agree, and I recommended it before (link1), since that would be on mods or Txmmy, but he's been done with the thread for a long time, it's really just Garlin keeping the preset alive, otherwise it's generally too aggressive for most people and would have fizzled out, due to the combination of the masses not knowing how to troubleshoot it themselves and the lack of author support.
At this point it would be hugely beneficial to sift through all the pages, gather the "How to fix X" questions and other useful bits, then put a FAQ on the main post with all the answers, including a single updated XML that combines the current 4 existing versions, plus the reg file and PowerShell script as attachments with notes that they are optional and may cause issues.
I don't think this will happen though, which is why I recommended to nuhi the idea of merging GamerOS into the NTLite templates after analyzing what's good and bad, or just add it as a special 5th template, then lock this thread and Nuhi can takeover support by focusing on component preservation compatibility.
The other tweaks are questionable or situational as discussed in previous replies (link2), so they aren't important to preserve and will be removed if Nuhi converts this into an official template, since built-in templates only use component removals, and in this case it's not a big issue. This thread's registry file and PowerShell script can still be attached to the main post for download by anyone too.

Honestly, GamerOS preset isn't that hard. It's that NTLite first-timers always skip over reading the first post, and it linked update.
My advice would be to skip running the PowerShell tweak script from Post-Setup. Install the ISO, and test it out. If there's anything wrong, you know it's from the preset itself. After you're satisified, then play with the optional tweak script.
The major known problems are Store and Bluetooth, which are explained in the update.
60% of this thread has nothing to do with the actual GamerOS preset, but follow-on questions which are not specific to GamerOS and really should be asked separately.
