To be fair - if you are looking to NT Lite to provide an experience where there are just 8 processes running in Windows and using zero resources - you will be disappointed. I have always looked to NT Lite to provide me the means to take a "normal" (expected) version of Windows - say like Win 11...

Nuhi PM sent. Let me know what you find out. Cheers S

This is great info. Can you expand on how you handle moving from Steps 1-2 etc. Example - once you "build" the actual ISO in Step 1 - is that .wim considered your "step 1" preset? And when you move to Step 2 etc - are you actually loading the "modified" .wim (from Step 1) and applying your...

I am going to build out a new LTSC ISO with NT Lite (v2025.10.10631) and work on testing this today. Not going to worry about Patch Tuesday or anything else at this point. S

Understood. Like the XML or what exactly do you mean by compare? Yesterday I took "comparison" to the highest possible level and recreated my usual template - by hand - one setting at a time - so it was 100% identical to my usual template (Oct 10, 2025). Even recreated the Unattend file as...

See Post #14 on page 1... "Changed to Legacy Setup Mode (vs Modern)" Still failed. S

No - NTLite 2026.1.10671 IS a bust with my "Oct 10, 2025 template" AND with every other template I have either here on hand (20+ different variations) or even one that I created yesterday by hand, replicating each of my specific settings - one by one, setting by setting. Took me 35 minutes to...

Update: Installed NT Lite (v2025.10.10631) on a different machine Imported my exact Settings XML from Oct 10, 2025 Loaded the newest MS ISO (en-us_windows_11_business_editions_version_25h2_updated_jan_2026_x64_dvd_09c1e011) Loaded (overwrite) my Oct 10, 2025 template against this new ISO No...

Update: Installed NT Lite (v2025.10.10631) on a different machine Imported my exact Settings XML from Oct 10, 2025 Loaded the identical MS ISO ("GE" release of 25H2 ISO from MS: en-us_windows_11_business_editions_version_25h2_x64_dvd_41c521e7 Loaded (overwrite) my Oct 10, 2025 template against...

Update Installed new ISO to new VM Phase 1 (with two restarts) - approx 1:20secs Then this: Took 8:42 secs And then the usual Failure Off to install NT Lite (v2025.10.10631) on a different machine and rebuild my Oct 10, 2025 ISO to test... S

Update: Removed Start Experience and Widgets Changed back to Modern Setup Mode Added CDM back in No other changes Build time: Longest of the last three I have done. Installing this now to new VM - will report back S

Yes - I have been removing this - forever - and no issues whatsover. This new build is almost done - added CDM back in - but I do not expect this will make any difference. Also will be installing NT Lite (v2025.10.10631) on another machine here shortly. This was the version I used back on Oct...

Here is what I see on that control within NTLite: Reworking my template again right now - will add this back in and see what transpires... S

Update: Added OneDrive, Start Experience and Widgets back in Changed to Legacy Setup Mode (vs Modern) No other changes Build time: Setup End Result: Failure. Back we go. S

Just wrapped a new build ISO using the MS ISO referenced in this post: https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php?threads/what-am-i-doing-wrong.5941/ (See entry 7) Took 10 minutes + with zero integrations. And ended with this again - just 30 secs ago: There is something seriously wrong...
