same here, kind of, i partially put it down to a lack of knowledge, i may be missing a few things and other things i go in guns blazing, there will be a lot of breakages others wont accept but i do. to get ltsc to around 9500 handles requires serious work on the services and other things(kludges), bareboned with no networking. about 12500 with networking.fair. My attempts showed similar results, but since I'm a little more 'forgiving' to some features, I thought that was the reason for the diminishing returns.
hmm, an ltsc or server from the same build, 17763, should give near similar results once they have been tweaked to the same degree, one will be a bit better but it wont be night and day and in my mind that aint worth it.It turns out to be the base material its an even less polishable turd than 21H2.
You can remove Windows Defender on every Version of Windows 10.LTSC 1809 is much lighter on resources once ive played with it, around 12000 handles. how ltsc 1809 compares to the server 1809 i dont know. i have heard that defender on server can be completely removed. all heresay because i dont have access to server 1809.

What do you mean with breaking Setup, i never had Setup problems with removing Windows Defender (Ntlite)?i'll be tinkering with ltsc sometime this week, giving the new preset templates a go, see if i can get handles and threads down. if defender can be removed from an image without breaking setup great, if it dont i'll compromise and use defender killer.
ive broken setup just disabling defender on 1809 ltsc. got ram upgrade coming this weekend so i can do it all in a vm and it'll make my life easier. 8gb struggles.What do you mean with breaking Setup, i never had Setup problems with removing Windows Defender (Ntlite)?
I think Forza Horizon 5 has a similar issue for it's screen reader accessibility built-in feature.I would advise to not remove speechapi 'Speech API' (you can still remove speechcommon 'Speech Recognition' and speechtts 'Speech TTS' though). This component is needed to run Farcry 6, otherwise it'll crash on start
On side note, I know Phasmophobia (game) listens to what you say which in turn influences the ghost's activity/actions (even when you don't use push to talk in game). Perhaps with this in mind, speech recognition component(s) might be critical for this game to function correctly, I haven't tested if that's the case though
Calculator is busted and Notepad is missing the shortcut in the Start Menu.
you just need calc.exe and calc.exe.mui, create an en-us folder next to calc.exe and put the mui file in it. snipping tool and task manager work on w10 too.I found the classic Windows 7 calculator app from WinAero.net which does not require the Store to run.
Unfortunately, no such luck with Windows 10 or 11. The calc app is completely dependent on the Store and calc.exe.mui does not exist. Might be a recent change with an update, I'm not too knowledgeable on this. I'll continue using the old Win7 calc, not the end of the world here. Definitely a MS problem and nothing to do with the NTLite preset.you just need calc.exe and calc.exe.mui, create an en-us folder next to calc.exe and put the mui file in it. snipping tool and task manager work on w10 too.
