This doesn't sound like it's related to my guide, so this should all be its own thread. I'm not at my computer right now, but if you are using my guide, to change the sleep/lid stuff you would edit the registry files and find the tweaks that have comments about sleep/lid and change the values. This would require some brief Googling or testing to see what the values need to change into, but it's easy to figure out.I am having trouble figuring out how to set the sleep button and closing the lid to Do Nothing.
How do you disable System Restore? If you turn off Shadow Volume services, you will get an error at the sys restore tab.
How do you disable DPI scaling, or at least make the default 100%
Probably, since I helped someone recently fix a power plan issue on W11 that was related (link1). Using the "override" method is a really quick and easy way to test things like this, and there's many solutions in that post to choose from too. This is unusual behavior and I think there's bugs in W11 power plan settings, or they are prepping to implement an overhaul of it, which is likely since it has evolved substantially over time.is it this because its win11?
Did you actually update your Guide in all these years or is it somewhere else updated?Probably, since I helped someone recently fix a power plan issue on W11 that was related (link1).

Windows Update is often the culprit behind things like your System Restore issue, since updates can add and enable scheduled tasks, restore components, and modify settings. The solution for people that want updates is to incorporate them into the image with NTLite, pause Windows Update, and if you want to install updates again in the future you would do them manually or use NTLite's built-in Windows Update tool. After installing updates you must use the "Remove reinstalls" feature in NTLite and/or run your registry files again to reinstall overwritten tweaks.
See if this (link2) works for your DPI problem. If it doesn't, it could be a misconfigured computer setup, since stuff like this is directly tied to the graphics card firmware and driver, monitor display profile, the physical menu settings on the monitor, the type of cord used to connect the monitor, and multi-monitor setups. I've browsed countless forum posts from people that were having lots of display problems and by examining their setup again and making sure it was all correct, they solved many odd problems.
I've been getting a lot of pokes lately from threads and mail, I'm still here and active, but real life is fighting against me right now and I had to put this particular guide on the backburner. I'll explain the timeline in this reply, since I haven't had a chance to get back to everyone that has inquired.Did you actually update your Guide in all these years or is it somewhere else updated?
I did purchase a license.If you have a licensed copy of NTLite, you can use it to download and install Updates on a live system. You should apply tweaks last, since a monthly update might change some starting values.
The frequently asked questions answers this, but please let me know if something isn't making sense, because this topic and the related others (editions, versions, etcetera) come up often and I don't know how else to answer it anymore. I need some new members to point out the confusing bits and then I can revise it to help prevent these questions all the time.I'm making a 21H2 iso. So I can run the built in windows update installer within NTlite and then follow the guide and it will all still work?
This is the only part i noticed on windows update, but it doesn't specify doing updates in NTLite before making the image, which is why I wanted to make sure it was ok to do. From its wording, I took it as related to windows update post install.Question: "Can I still use Windows Update with this guide?"
Yes, but Windows Update is paused by this guide, so you would need to manually run it. I do not recommend updates though, instead I would create a new image using this guide at the start of every year and cleanly install that, because this approach comes with a plethora of benefits, such as preserving the tweaks in the image, since updates will constantly undo that work. This guide is intended to be updated yearly for the latest Windows version, but due to the low quality state that Microsoft released 22H2, I stayed with 21H2 for now.
I think I see what's happening. I wrote that section with the idea that all the info was tied together, but upon skipping the first question and going to the bottom the reader will miss out on related information. I'll fix that this week, while looking for other places where this same situation occurs too....Did I miss another part? I'll take another look too.
I appreciate you. I'm genuinely not sure what part i missed, I read through everything (or so I thought??) and didn't see it specifically mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I hope things in your life improve!I think I see what's happening.
