[Other Mod] note:
A Discord user asked if there was a way to insert this Services list, since no preset was available. I loaded LTSC 1809 using "NTLite.exe /saveallstates", and composed a "diff" file which aligns with Clanger's list.

Delete the <Services></Services> block in your current preset, and insert this entire XML file.

- System Restore requires both Shadow Copy Provider & Volume Shadow Copy to make backups
- AppX installs/removals require State Repository Service (can be disabled at other times)
 
not everyone uses restore, they use other solutions.
you run this service configuration last, when all your drivers and required apps and software are installed, or you can cherry pick what you want/can put into an image and not break setup.

it is also for information purposes for others, those who refuse to accept w10 as a resource hogging beast, how low it can go and for things they might be able to do with their machines, if it can be disabled can it be removed? if it cant be removed can it be disabled instead?

I use system restore on windows 10/11 I guess that puts me in the closet as one of the few that do lol.

Nice to know that System Restore requires both Shadow Copy Provider & Volume Shadow Copy to make backups as well as AppX installs/removals require State Repository Service.

Don't think I could ever get this bare but might be able to pull a few out of the list
 
Great result :)

Did you get these handles and processes just by disabling services? I can't get less than 12000 handles in LTSC 2019 with removals and deactivating some things.

Windows Update Service is used to update certificates, I previously disabled it (or removed in Win7) because I didn't know that but now I leave it in manual.
 
AeonX 99.9% certain its all services, i stopped after that test. Defender would have been killed or dism removed(live only). System Apps may have been crippled, cant remember for sure. It deffo will be airgapped with networking disabled, captured .3165 wim with net 3.5 enabled, net 4.8 installed, en-gb with no added language packs.

Does using this Win7 Task Manager makes a difference in handles? I tested using Win10 native.
 
Yes, ive heard w7 T-M uses less resources, but i prefer the look of it. W7 TM, Snipping Tool, Calculator and something else which currently escapes me all run on 1809. Heres is my w7(en-us only) 64bit TM pack as an example, you might need additional files to suit your language needs.
I add them to Program Files using $OEM$ - $1. Can also be used on 8.1.
Its why all my w10 TM screen grabs are the w7 TM.

Heads up, get Reduce Memory(1.6) from Sordum, cleans ram use at specified intervals :cool:
Ive set mine to 25% at 5s intervals.

Edit - ive replaced the ms files with dummy files, empty .txt files renamed accordingly.

Read the edit, they are dummy files so no dmca notice :cool:, but its essentially what the winaero installer does, he gets his from w8.1 boot.wim. I use the files from w7 EOL. Once i twigged out how he did it and seeing as i had the w7 and 8.1 files to hand i tried it my way and it worked.
 
Only been using it for a few days but so far so good. Internet Download Manager can really bog a system down even with 16gb when grabbing 1080p video files but its been ok so far :)

Even closing tabs Firefox doesn't free up memory.
FF opens too many processes now, there was a tweak to stop that but mozilla stopped it, screw you mozilla :mad:
That said FF addons dont crash anymore.

I can comfortably get away with 8GB ram(igpu or graphics card) on an offline system. Single stick of Ballistix 8GB being around £40(with a £60 pentium 2c\4t) which helps keep costs down and i can put the savings where it counts, moar storage :D

And with the cost of living crisis hitting us hard we need every damn penny we can get.

Yes 8 GB is more than enough for common tasks. I only got 16 GB for games. Although I'm not playing a lot but I got this for when I want to not be limited.
