Guide: Default Resource Usage

[Hellbovine]

Updated original post to streamline and simplify things, and incorporated forum feedback by changing the attachments into PDF with unneeded columns removed and things sorted much nicer in a table. I originally used txt since it's universal, but since PDF is native in the operating system starting with Windows 8 and above, I think this is okay to use now, since it preserves formatting and this way you don't have to mess with tabs or monospacing of a txt file to view it properly.

There's also some replies in this thread from Garlin and Clanger that people may find useful to keep around in a shortcut or .bat file as a tool, discussing command prompt methods for exporting this kind of information to a txt file.

LTSC 1809 can be brought down to 12xxx handles fairly easily. LTSC 2021 is comparable to 1809,

W7 Barebone Services(left) v LTSC 1809(17763.3165) Barebone Services(right)

if you use a later w10 or w11 build then the differences between my w7 and ltsc will be comparable to latest w10/w11 v ltsc 1809.

Such pity that there is no "Absolute minimum that NTLite's component removal allows" version for Windows 10 22H2. With absolutely barest minimum of components, just enough to start Task manager. This would have shown the absolute minimum of RAM and disk consumption that NTLite can bully the latest build of Win 10 into, just showing the limits of the possible only with components removal, with no other tweaking like CompactOS or disabled hibernation(which can be done without NTlite anyway)

In my Choosing a Preset guide I discuss that type of stuff. NTLite does have built-in templates that the developer has been working on to address exactly what you said. My Optimized Image guide is also working toward the same goal via the registry (not component removals), and the GamerOS thread attempts to do both methods (component removals and registry).

As I mentioned earlier in your other thread, file dependencies is what holds everyone up, because what works on your computer won't necessarily work on mine as it may crash the specific apps I use. My Optimized Image guide is the most compatible universal solution that I'm aware of on the internet, which aims to reduce overhead, without breaking anything.
