Guide: Optimized Image

Im not saying it's the ISO , I was just curious if anyone else had the same problem. What I just checked is, that someone had a problem with his powerplan and I was using the powerplan from ChrisTitus - Ultimate Power plan, it might be the problem. Im gonna update bios now and switch the powerplan and see if im gonna have the same crashes and report back.

I had this ISO for over months and never had the problem, I doubt it's the ISO aswell. But you never know, thats why I wanted to ask.

The thing is, me and my wife have the same iso and the same problem. She has a completely different system than me. Drivers are up-to-date. I had this iso long time ago and hadn't this issues, now after reinstalling it the issues started. Can't be overheating because I'm monitoring it. We both have this issues in CS2 and R.E.P.O. doesn't happen to often but maybe once every 2 days.

Sure you both have issues - could it be the NTLited image you're using and an updated Windows/ NTL so far.

Updates were blocked, I did only the changes from this guide. Like I said before, didnt had the issues months ago with this ISO but now we both have them together is kinda weird. Might be the Powerplan, that it gives too little power to the cpu.
 
? I said months ago I used this ISO without a Issue, last update for this ISO for me was a month ago. I used only the tweaks from this thread and nothing else. I tweaked the ISO step by step with this guide, everything runs fine except for some games crashing the PC.
 
It's generated in NTL install folder Presets - normally as an Auto-xxxxxxxxxxx every time you're running NTL.
Be sure you remove anything personal info before attach the file
 
It seems your reg tweaks is causing the problem as you don't alter anything in NTL.
 
what exactly does that mean it doesn alter? The Tweaks are definitely on the iso because for instance my defender and firewall is off. Could it be this preset?

Right now I am playing Path of exile for over 6+ Hours without any issues. might be the powerplan causing that bug.

Latest preset don't show any removals or other settings changed in NTL.
You could maybe be right removing the powerplan reg as latest Windows updates evolved on that.
Up to you to test and not a NTL problem.

This preset contains no changes. You have a license, which means you can export the current image's state.

1. Load the current Windows image, C:\Windows
2. Preset / Save / Extract current image state -> extract file
3. Download a clean W10 21H2 ISO.
4. Load image.
5. Load your previously saved extract file.
6. Preset / Save as... -> new file
7. Attach this new file.
 
I was waiting to reply until Warcry16 posted the results of the power plan test, because I'm certain this issue will be coming from outside of NTLite and my guide. This will be an issue with drivers, bugs, game configs, Nvidia/AMD control panels, overheating, malware, etcetera. Almost all issues like intermittent black screens are directly related to those types of common gaming problems and rarely have anything to do with registry tweaks.

There's also some conflicting information here. Supposedly no tweaking outside of my guide was done, but somehow the Chris Titus power plan is active, which makes me wonder what other stuff was installed from tools/scripts too. The uploaded presets also show component removals and disabled services that I don't put in my guide. For example, Cortana was removed and that causes problems in various Windows builds.

It'll take forever to ask a bunch of gaming troubleshooting questions, and regardless of how that plays out the way to solve this will likely remain the same, so I recommend skipping to my solution and giving that a try. I would go download the latest 22H2 V1 ISO from Microsoft with the user-agent trick (link1) at the consumer website. 22H2 V1 is verified to be compatible with my guide, and fixes some DPC issues that can cause intermittent black screens, crashing, hanging, etcetera. Nvidia cards in particular have major latency issues (link2) in 21H2 and the years prior.

With a new ISO, follow my guide without using any other tools/scripts this time and trust the process...I already include a highly customized power plan that is equal to or better than Ultimate, Bitsum, Fr33thy, etcetera. People usually don't realize it, but most of our forum users are breaking, duplicating, and overwriting a lot of their NTLite tweaks as well as the ones in my guides when they stack other scripts and tools on top. Less is best.
 
After installing the ISO , I did debloat with chris titus software + added the powerplan, this might be the cause of the problem. Right now im gonna do a fresh install without any removings of components such as cortana and report back after a gaming session. Thanks for all the help.

The only item of interest is you've enabled Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling.
Code: 
<Tweak name="GraphicsDrivers\HwSchMode">2</Tweak>

Otherwise it's a fairly light mod from NTLite's perspective, but that doesn't take in account whatever changes applied by WinUtil.

Do you use AMD GPU's?

There are a lot of gpu timeouts, blackscreens and crashing requiring you to restart your pc with amd drivers past 24.12.1
