Search the XML for SearchOrderConfig. It's set to 0 in your preset, which prevents Windows Update from automatically installing a driver for your hardware while online, and they must be manually downloaded instead. After fixing that, it's still possible the webcam doesn't work due to a component...

Well, what you're saying about my wording and intent is inaccurate and sounds like an insult, so rather than set things straight, I'm going to just say I'm not understanding the intent of your replies here because it sounds like you're saying I'm wrong, but then you interate much of the same...

To figure something like this out on your own in the future, right-click on the registry files and edit them to then search for a relevant keyword, such as "Recycle" to find tweaks that affect the recycle bin. Then, with intuitiveness or Googling you can figure out how to reverse it on both a...

I don't have a CPU affected by TSX, but if someone does and can show me some credible benchmarks with it on/off and provide some background on the topic, I'll add it into the guide if it's a tweak worth using. Since I cannot test it myself though, I don't want to add it in case it's something...

You're overthinking it, all I was doing is explaining to the masses why Microsoft abandons an OS and puts us into this predicament where people aren't ready to move on, but are forced to anyway. It wasn't meant to be a philosophical argument about programming, though I also know how much work...

TLS/SSL and related issues is also why I was forced to abandon XP. I made it work up until December of 2021, but you just can't force these older operating systems to support things that they literally don't have all the files and code necessary to. While there are little tweaks that act as...

Garlin did a terrific job of outlining Windows Update (WU) and graphics driver relationships, so if evaluating that information doesn't help solve the problem then it's likely we're missing pertinent data in order to solve this. 1) Attach your unattend file, it's located in the root directory...

I've never been a fan of Rapid Storage Technology, and I've mostly seen the same sentiment echoed from the masses. It's been a confusing topic for a long time, because it eventually evolved to have extra side features added, such as caching you mentioned, but that is a mess too, since they...

Does the list in Step 4 have what you're referring to? If not, can you provide specific names of the settings please, or motherboard model so I can view its manual. I'm not sure what "Fast Storage" is, probably due to translation, and the closest thing I can think of is "Fast Startup" which is...

The general rule to live by if performance matters to an individual, is to know that more stuff enabled will almost always translate to performance loss. In the world of computers, if something is active it costs resources to maintain and introduces more opportunities to be exposed to bugs...

See my reply on your other thread for guidance. We don't know what your goal here is. Are you literally just wondering if anyone has ever tried to remove drivers from an ISO before loading it into a VM? I mean obviously we have, this site and tool has existed since XP... These guides (link1...

Your post is lacking too much information. Is this related to the NTLite tool at all, or are we talking about a general Windows issue where this particular build isn't working the way you expect? Attach any XML preset you used with NTLite and remove any personal information first, such as...

You can still change DNS on each individual device you have in your home, it's just less convenient than doing it once in a router and being done. In that Google document you linked, scroll to the "Windows" section (link) to change the DNS directly in your network adapter within the OS. For...

It depends on the ISP and router, but you can set both IPv4 and IPv6 to static then the one that isn't being used should be ignored by the connected devices. Most people are still on IPv4, but the last few years has seen a lot of transitioning. To find out what you are currently using open an...

I would try changing DNS before using VPN, since it's free and easy. It's also likely to be the only tweak that many people need to fix various internet issues and censorships. It's as easy as logging into the router, going to WAN (not DHCP) settings and change the DNS to static, then enter your...

There's quite a few options to get around that: 1) Change the DNS in your router to a free alternative, like OpenDNS, Google, or others. 2) Use a free web proxy to navigate to places like Google web search. 3) Use one of the many free or paid VPN services, and utilize trial periods to find the...

Would you mind posting your PPPOE solution so it can be searchable for others please? That will aid helpers too, since we can try to figure out what's going on under the hood for whatever component was the culprit, for future problems, and it may improve the NTLite compatibility options.

Many icons can be hidden without also disabling the app. The Nvidia control panel for example can be hidden with a mundane key. The easy way to figure this out for all the apps someone can install is to download a registry compare tool, right-click on icons and try to hide them by exploring its...

Watch the TV show Westworld, then everything Microsoft and OpenAI is doing looks even worse. We're still a long ways off from undetectable humanoid robots, but these "safety" features are what the data collection (telemetry) hides behind as an excuse to fool unknowing consumers. The only thing...

Some clarification is probably needed for a solution. Do you mean an actual dial up modem connection, like 56k from 30 years ago, where it makes the classic modem sounds as it dials and is mostly handled in Windows, or are we talking about PPPoE dsl fiber connection that is mostly handled in a...
