Guide: Optimized Image

Hi,
After adding the changes, the machine was much faster, the hard disk (SSD) was less loaded.
Only NeoWin didn't work, wouldn't start, wouldn't return anything. I don't use many computer programs.
Sound editors, music editors etc.
I deleted the Geo service a long time ago, not yesterday.
Hence my only one problem was downloading the Rufus ISOs.
I had no other problems.
A few words about enabling Register Keys (tweaking):
For example: the firewall is still enabled.
Merging icons on the desktop, enabled.
PageFileSys is not disabled. Set to 16-32 GB.
My computer's memory: 16GB. And I really need it for (Cities: Skyline game)
So that's it...
I apologize for the bad English writing.

You asked, "Is virtualization probably enabled in the bios?"
No, it is not, and it was never turned on :)

bye, bye

Finished testing MitigationOptions again, on a clean, unmodified, install of 21H2 and 22H2, and the keys don't change between editions. The other setting, Memory Integrity, is disabled by default even if you turn on virtualization in the bios, and it also has its own registry key too so it isn't a part of the mask as I thought it might be.

As far as I can tell, the issues presented regarding MitigationOptions are unrelated to this guide, based on the info provided plus additional research and testing. The longer these discussions go on, the more details come to light, such as discovering there are other tweaks applied to the images (component removals, extra reg keys, disabled/deleted services, etcetera) which tend to be the true source of the problems.
 
So I just stumbled into this thread, the registry files posted on first page can be applied to windows 11 22h2? And is there a registry file to enable File Explorer Tabs?
 
File Explorer tabs depend on what version of 22H2 you're on. If you haven't upgraded to the right build, then the reg edits don't apply.
If someone hasn't answered in detail, I'll reply in the morning.

I haven't tested it on W11, however I know quite a few people have used it on W11 22H2 and they haven't reported problems.

If a registry key doesn't apply to W11 22H2 the operating system will ignore it, and no harm is done except that a tweak doesn't get enabled like you thought it would. This has happened for many years, where people still try to use keys designed for 2000/XP, on today's operating systems, and many of them just get ignored because those keys are now deprecated.

Since W11 is really W10 at its core, with some redesigns and bloat added, all of these keys probably work on W11, I just haven't tested it myself to verify. I have no plans to work on W11 in the near future though, because I don't think it's a good operating system to use right now, being how immature it is and how many bugs it has in 22H2, plus most people are still using W10 so I want to put all my time and effort into that instead.

I would suggest the following.
Everyone wants a good, fast computer.
(Windows can't do that.)
No one is born with IT skills.
But, some people dare to choose. NTLite is for everyone.
So the point is this: would a short but concise description of how? "what not to delete." I think that would appeal to a lot of people.
Just an idea on my part... thanks...

I downloaded the most recent W11 22H2.iso last night 1/26/23, trying to replicate Pheonix Lite OS to the best of my ability, kinda scared to install someone else iso, so here I am.

good man. online frankenbuilds are fine when they are only used for research/cherry picking to create your own builds but i would never deploy one. see what they have done and try to replicate a clean trusted image is always best.

can I upload the pheonix lite os into nlite and it will show all the changes that were made?

File Explorer Tabs are available to everyone after Oct 2022 updates. If you're patching a 22H2 build before 22621.675, and don't intend to update Windows:
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\1931258509]

Do I copy this into text file and name the suffix .reg like this enable_file_explorer_tabs.reg
 
Yep. And add this reg file to Registry screen, so it's pre-integrated into the image. If you update 22H2 to Oct or later, this step is pointless.
