GamerOS Windows 10 & 11 DIY Preset

Also you can wait until Black Friday (two months from now) for the NTLite holiday discount. If you're not in a hurry to unlock all the features.
Just in case people get annoyed because no one advised them of it.
 
NTLite licenses do expire, but they are permanent for the activated PC's. What that means is all new premium (non-free) features are unlocked until the expiration date. After the expiration date, NTLite continues working as before but you're restricted into the previous feature set which you enjoyed before the expiration. Those unlocked features are perpetual for your licensed PC's.

Newer premium features added after your expiration date will not be available to you.

If you don't need to support the next Windows release, then you can continue making images for older Windows. You can continue using the Updates Downloader to check for monthly updates, regardless of expiration.

Renewals are priced 50% of the normal purchase price. Renewals can be added any time after your last license has expired.
I just bought the license for Home use to gain access to full component removal. I was under the impression that when under it, it's said that: "License never expires, includes 1 year of upcoming features", component removal being a feature, it will work indefinitely, and I will just not receive some other new features like idk, different deployement methods.

As I understand from what you are saying, component removal for newer versions of windows is considered a feature? Shouldn't that be included in feature of component removal itselt? It's kind of a bummer for me, I would have waited for price discount then if I knew for example Win11 27h1 won't be supported for me(i get that Win 12 might considered new support).

Am I thinking right? Thanks for further clarification
 
W11 27H1 would be a new OS release, and an expired NTLite from today wouldn't support it.

Typically a fair number of components change over time with each major and minor release of Windows, and it's a lot of work for nuhi to adapt to what's changed (new components, updated components, retired components) and their dependencies. His time spent researching this isn't free, you're paying him thru a license fee to update the product.

It's not like you're waiting 4-6 months for NTLite to catch up. Usually nuhi's looking at Preview builds as soon as they're released to get a head start on new changes in Windows.

If you need to purchase a renewal, it can be any date in the future. Say you've stopping playing around with W11, and expecting one day for W12 (which no one really knows when it will be released), you can purchase a renewal at the normal 50% rate at the time you want to resume.

Is this a perfect licensing model? Not to everyone's satisfaction, but it's a reasonable model given the fact that Windows changes and you want the product to keep up with it. Some users are still working on W7 and W10 images, and obviously the OS is frozen for them.
 
I have created a new preset based on W11 24H2 preset, but NTLite would not let me load the preset, throws error.
Can anyone point me out what I am doing wrong here?
You should be very careful about copying & pasting lines. I had to load your preset into an online XML parser website.

Do you see the problem for "Network"?
Code:
                        <TweakGroup name="Network">

                                <Tweak name="FlyoutMenuSettings\ShowSleepOption">0</Tweak>
                                <Tweak name="System\ShutdownWithoutLogon">0</Tweak>
                        </TweakGroup>
 
I managed to adjust the lower portion with the older file which was loading.
For now it is resolved, please ignore the aobve comment.
 
Used this. Almost everything worked.
Except these below apps were left installed.

- One Drive (Uninstalled manually)
- Remote Desktop Connection (Uninstalled manually)
- Microsoft Edge Update
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.


Not getting the option to flush the other 2 apps from system.
Any idea what can be added to the .xml to prevent these?

Settings / Tasks (UScheduler) / EdgeUpdate -> Delete

Not sure why you have OneDrive re-installed.
 
Thanks Garlin. I will make the changes next time.
Yeah I am confused too.

Any idea what can be done to remove these?

- Microsoft Edge Update
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
 
You already removed them. It's the hidden UScheduler task that tries to force download them again.
 
A quick warning on going too heavy handed, even if you just a gamer, as an example the modding tool for FF15 (flagrum) has a dependency on webview2, in fact I have probably at least 3-4 apps on my system, that are either gaming tools or ,media tools that depend on it.
 
Oh, I see. Thanks for the headsup pal.

On the previous W11 builds, even on W10 and W7 I used to clean wipe all apps that came pre-installed and did not ever face issues with games, or that I can recall.
On the current build I have not wiped it over, still using as it was left installed.

I will leave it as it is then, doesn't seem to hog any resources to have an impact.
So that's fine for me.

Appreciate it.

I have been facing slow buffers on YT even though I have optical fiber and have 140Mb/s speed
Is there anything on the preset (I used) that might have impacted this?
 
Touch keyboard is not working please help
Be a little more specific please. Is it not showing properly, is it not starting at all when the button is clicked? I removed 700 components from Pro and mine works (and its the sole reason I haven't migrated over to linux, touch keyboard is erratic there). maybe attach your profile, I can compare with mine and see what may be different?

I faced this issue too and solved it by changing 'Set-NetTCPSetting -AutoTuningLevelLocal <level>' to anything that's not 'Normal' (Windows Default) or 'Disabled'. But I'm not sure what the root cause is.
