It works on W10 22H2 and I'm using it on both my laptop and desktop right this second. I tested it again on a live Windows when I was assisting you recently, and it worked there too. I know I can solve this, because it's literally already solved. You are going off course, and that's totally fine...

Slow down, you're getting hyped up and it's confusing things. Let's get to the root of the real issue by starting over. Based on the question initially asked by you, the goal was to find a way to have a different solid color background, rather than it being a picture or black. I extracted the...

What are you going on about? How did I interfere, when this thread was an open invitation for people to respond with advice, which is what I did.

You're still getting caught up on the wrong aspect of this suggestion. It's not about reverse engineering the tweaks used in an image. It's purely an NTLite cosmetic feature that simply hides or shows boxes without checkmarks, hence the reference to expand/collapse, as that is the closest...

What does this mean and who is it for?

And your point? What I said is still relevant to 24H2, so what do you want me to take away from this interaction? I wasn't replying to you either, signified by the quote to someone else. Your snipe here is unproductive, and I'm tired of snide remarks that aren't justified. I understand bad days...

You likely didn't follow all the instructions. There's missing keys between our posts, and did you reinstall Windows or do this live? Is this a VM? I use the same set of tweaks in my Optimized Image guide, which is installed on both my desktop and laptop using W10 22H2, and it works.

I think the most efficient advice for all the threads like these is to urge people not to ask these questions and instead have them go investigate other people's works and ask themselves what they could improve on, by comparing different images. That will be much more eye opening and lead to a...

Whatever the Acer rep said is false, so long as this is actually a device built for Windows and not some niche situation. Every manufacturer needs to follow a huge number of protocols and standards, ranging from things like USB certifications to WHQL driver qualifications, and so much more...

Most threads like these (link1) can be prevented and resolved by testing in layers, and the Quality Control (link2) guide has more details on that. Anything that prevents a user from reaching the desktop on a clean install, is typically related to a misconfigured unattend file, bad driver...

I think I see CodeBro's view, so I'll try to reframe it in a way that might help. Basically, the idea is to add two buttons, similar to the options that already exist in software, such as "Expand all" and "Collapse all" which makes a list of items hidden/shown. It's a screen real estate quality...

I've documented it in a few places on the forum (link). As the desktop appears for the first time after a clean install of Windows is when the Aero theme gets added into the registry, and when that happens it overwrites any personalizations that were previously set. Every issue related to...

I wasn't as clear as I could have been. I stated it "serves as" a second confirmation, meaning it fulfills the same duties, but it's not two messages, rather the extra steps added to the deletion process by the Recycle Bin have the same effect as a dialogue box--slowing users down. On a default...

Recycle bin is a feature intended to restore file deletions that are later regretted, so it's not something that is neccessary in an optimized build, and since the feature adds work for the user in the form of file management the efficient thing to do is disable it. Also, it serves as a second...

1) In this thread, the guide states in the beginning steps of 4C to delete old partitions. Are you skipping that step? The thing to pay attention to there is to make sure if you have any additional drives installed that you don't delete the wrong partition. For example, I have a C: drive SSD and...

Unused registry tweaks will sit in the registry and do nothing. They will however be present when stuff gets installed/reinstalled later, and could go into effect if the installer doesn't overwrite them. In other words, it's possible to uninstall an app, then add a registry tweak that disables...

It will help, but it won't completely eliminate the extra DPC consequences that having it running in the background and scanning everything else on the computer would bring. Latency is really simple as a big picture concept, because anything whatsoever that is running on a computer can increase...

The thing everyone needs to understand about Tiny10/11, since it keeps being brought up on the forum, is that he just uses NTLite, and he's simply removing components like the rest of us, it's nothing special. He also uses some other scripts and tools, but we've had veterans here dissect those...

Also, there's some confusion in this thread, because SearchApp.exe isn't just the News and Interests on the Taskbar, so while the problems and tweaks discussed in the previous reply are still valid, it may not completely eliminate the instances of SearchApp from the Task Manager (rather than the...
