As a newbie, don't use anything but NTLite (the pro version, for the much needed support, plus good options are behind the pay wall).

Why various dcom and wmi stuff start spamming logs and lower overall performance. Why Defender goes ham on your resources, with nothing out of the ordinary present. As others have mentioned, be prepared for all that extra work that comes with troubleshooting why feature x does not work as expected / at all. In reality, every month you're gonna hit one update issue or another that will prevent it from completing, resulting in countless downloads, installs, fail, revert, retry - if you don't catch it. What you are asking for is nothing but a wet dream. Noob to this MSMG and stripping sown Windows installation thing. Also, I want 0 MS bloatware but also do not want a system that breaks and crashes then and now. This should be done manually at my own convenience.

OS should check updates automatically but should not download and install them automatically. PS: I want a minimal Windows but should be latest and upto date with support of all updates. I'll also use the script available on github (I can't recall the name) to disable/delete all the telemetry services etc. Can this be achieved on Pro/Home editions or only enterprise? Notify before downloading and installing updates'. I am also planning to edit group policy to change the update configuration to '2. Please mention what not to remove and what bad can happen if it is removed.Īfter installing the modified ISO, will I still be getting updates? If yes, won't the updates re install the removed services? Please clear this doubt and how this all works?Ĭan I continue to use the modified ISO without activation with all that watermark stuff and no personalization? Do you guys believe there's something which should be left and is necessary for Windows to work properly. I am planning to remove pretty much everything that's available in the Remove section.

So, I recently came across the LTSB concept and now I'm overwhelmed by this MSMG idea where I can remove the bloatware from latest Windows builds.
