Currently working on some new Win 10 images for 2024 - and I am finding that making even the most minor of changes to a typical Win 10 Pro wim file is adding gobs of time here.
As a test yesterday - I loaded up the Nov 2023 Win 10 Business ISO and started with Step 1 of Hellbovines Opto Guide and just made the Power tweak (A single reg key update) and hit Apply.
NTLite easily took about 14-16 minutes to grind through this thing where I can clearly remember doing the same builds last November on this same server with the same hardware and a full set of options (removing apps, injecting 80+ registry key, add 5-8 online updates) took less that 10 minutes for each iteration.
The only thing that has changed (outside of standard Windows updates to this Server 2019 environment) is the version of NTLite.
Is there some new optimum hard drives settings or locations or something I am missing - because it feels like I am "wim-ming" through quicksand over here
