GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

Let us know if that fixed it, someone might need this info.

Nope, it didn't fix it. Also restored a lot of related components but no. I really hate to start from scratch again to narrow this down.

Nowadays i also wonder why i'm even doing this, because normal W11 install consumes only 300-500mb more RAM compared to GamerOS. I really do hate windows update, defender and other useless security BS, but i don't really see the point of this anymore.

E: Okay so, i tried the wireless connection, casting my PC screen to TV, using very good 5G connection. The result is awful "1080p" picture that lags a lot. So we can just forget this issue and feature, it's unusable anyway. Back to the good old cable connection.

I am very new to this. And looking for a Script that will remove all the garbage that is not needed. And all telemetry. And I will be using it on Windows 10 Pro 20H2. And like I said I'm new to this and do not know what I am doing.

Can anyone help?

Thank you All

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, there are several projects out there and they mostly run on an installed system. A few will debloat an image only as far as to remove Windows default apps, but rarely anything beyond that.

Most of the removals referred in this thread do require a licensed copy of NTLite. But you're welcome to install NTLite and try whatever removals and settings are unlocked in the free edition.

hello guys is this already done or still in progress? thanks already for answering

edit: also is it still possible to go with the preset on Win11 23H2 (22631.3520)? without the update from Txmmy?

which preset you are refering to? Is there already one in this thread?
 
While the preset hasn't been updated for 22H2 or 23H2, it generally works for W10 22H2 to W11.

There will be minor differences (usually newer apps added in later versions), but the preset takes care of the major changes that impact performance the most with regard to background Windows services, and event logging.
 
If this helps anyone, the preset can be applied to Windows 11 23H2 and later. There may be some new things added in later versions of Windows that could be removed. I've been slowly modifying the preset to include some of the new components and settings, but it is a very tedious process. It is a great starting point though.

The fastest way would be to (Preset) extract the current state from a set of clean 21H2 thru 23H2 images.
Run a 'diff' on them, to understand what's been added in successive releases, and use that info to tweak the current GamerOS.

I was not aware that you create a preset from an unmodified image that way. Interesting, I'll have to give it a look.
 
This is a way to reverse-engineer a preset from any existing image. NTLite does an existing config inventory, and you can apply this preset like a photo "negative" over a clean ISO of the same release, to get a list of removal and settings changes.

With a set of extracted states derived from clean images, you can see the component differences between each edition, or release. How does Home/Pro/EDU/Enterprise differ? What's changed from 22H2 to 23H2?

okay and which current (stable) version of GamerOS you suggest using? Sry but this thread is really big to go thru all..
 
Hrmm, not sure if I did something wrong here, but this issue is consistent across a few installs. I re-checked a few needed components like Windows Update, Bluetooth and a few others using the compatibility options. Finally, I reset the Features pages as I did not want to uninstall anything from there for the time being. As far as I know, I did not remove anything new according to the preset, only added back in a few things.

I applied the preset to Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 as a test. I allowed the system to update itself, but the system froze when rebooting at the "Preparing to install updates" screen. I had to force a reboot for the process to continue normally.

Another oddity I came across was in the Settings menu. If I clicked on Accounts and then Other Sign-In Options, the Settings app would freeze. Exiting the app took a few moments to work. I know that component was removed based on the preset, and I certainly have no use for it, but I would rather not have the app freeze if possible.

Any ideas?

I haven't seen reports of GamerOS preset breaking Discord app, but it does remove components for advanced HW audio support. Are your devices connected by Bluetooth?

Open the preset in Notepad, and try removing:
Code: 
                <c>3daudio 'Spatial Sound (3D Audio)'</c>
                <c>dolbyatmos 'Dolby Atmos codec pack'</c>
                <c>hwsupport_bluetooth 'Bluetooth'</c>
 
These are the components in the Discord compatibility (which any preset for gamers should leave at enabled):
netframework4wpfcore 'Windows Presentation Foundation (Core)'
qwave 'Quality Windows Audio Video Experience (qWave)'
hidservice 'Human Interface Device Service'
 
Hello,

I have the licensed version of ntlite with gamerOS preset loaded on windows10, all is good and well,

I have a question please, i want to create a broadband pppoe internet connection ( dial up ) the issue is, when I try to create one ( dial-up) and try to set my password and username ( my isp username and password ) it doesnt save; the dial up gets created " empty " with no information, even when i press edit on the dial-up to set a username or password or any other information, it doesnt save whatever i try to set in, it just create an empty dial up connection. It was working fine on an OEM windows11, pls advise how to be able to use dial-up feature again with gamerOS
