You're following the normal instructions for users who don't have the ability to customize Windows images, and must specify drivers while Setup is running. Fortunately, none of this is required if you're using NTLite to integrate drivers into the install image. 1 Extract your driver files...

The "timeout /t 9" is unnecessary, since the add profile is instantaneous (it's just a profile). There's a possibility (and I've seen it myself) that NTLite isn't creating the expected Post-Setup files. Can you check the extracted ISO folder (or the finished ISO) for a \sources\$OEM$\ folder...

I've written about this a number of times. Where a reg file should be added is a matter of timing, based on whether a setting needs to exist before a Windows process runs for the first time (to manage it), or after the point Windows writes it (to prevent it from being overwritten). - Changes...

Except for LCU, those three components are all marked as Placeholders. What a placeholder does in NTLite hasn't been explained, but I presume it stays behind to keep DISM happy while processing an image. After re-deleting the same components, zero files have been removed in the 2nd pass. The...

I didn't have any problems in removing those components (NTLite v2024.4.9916).

Running fontreg, with no arguments, will force a scan of C:\Windows\Fonts folder and update the Windows font library.

The more I think about, I don't think importing the rules from another PC is straightforward. You'd need a script or tool to replace every SID instance from the exported reg file, with the live system's current values. And I know from your previous posts, you have external drive content...

Can the Usual Suspects (for once) not divert a congratulatory thread into the endless rant we've already repeated on countless threads? /yawn

Some of those exported Search Roots won't work, because they're machine-specific SID's. Those will be ignored since no such SID exists on the target install. This reg branch must be imported from Post-Setup (and paired with killing Windows Index Service at the same time), because Windows will...

May 12, 2024 NTLite Forums has reached a major milestone in user growth, by passing 25,000 registered users! Now some profiles are owned by spammers, bots, or one-time visitors who signed up to get download access. But we have to go by whatever user count we have. It's an impressive number...

When you extract a preset from an existing image, it's like a "photo negative" because it's providing a Component inventory. What you normally do is load a clean ISO and apply the extract. NTLite will create a new removals list which should convert a clean ISO (by removals) to match your modded...

W7 provides Tablet PC as non-reinstallable FOD. It can exist as feature enabled or disabled; or completely removed by NTLite. After removal, you can't restore it. Host Refresh requires W10 or later, and W7 doesn't have a FOD ISO or online DISM download.

Get rid of Edge & Microsoft Store in the Taskbar

You know, it's called Windows. UAC and UWP apps will stop working, mouse doesn't move around, and you'll get random black screens covering your desktop. If you're focused on running one app more or less all day, especially in fullscreen mode where you don't need a lot of UI niceties – then OK...

Just curious, unsupported or doesn't work? Does that mean if I don't use fancy DISM cleanup modes, shouldn't DISM be backwards compatible? Or is the Servicing Stack permanently broken? I remember someone trying to build a multi-edition ISO with W7 inside the W11 ISO not working, but he said...

Did you sysprep /reboot, instead of /shutdown? Rebooting starts the specialization process, which nullifies the point of /generalize. You shutdown; boot from alternate media, and perform the capture.

I can't duplicate this problem with NTLite v2024.4.9916. 1. Loaded en_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_5795bb03.iso 2. Removed Tablet PC, which automatically removes Auto-Rotation Manager Now to be fair, I'm running under a VM and not a physical machine that may enable tablet-like...

NTLite users can create or use a preset, or list of component removals, in order to debloat a Windows image. Some removals are available to all users, others require an activated license to perform. There are no "scripts" in this process. If you're looking for generic W10 debloat scripts...

I don't you think you understand. Windows Features for an offline image can only exist as: - Preinstalled package, enabled by default - Preinstalled package, disabled by default - Not installed, but installable from DISM online or the FOD ISO When a FOD exists in the image, NTLite lists it...

Most folks point to Sysinternal's PsGetSid tool as a way of reporting the local (or remote) machine's SID. You could do a test install on the same PC twice in a row, and it should always create a different SID if properly generalized.
