    I have started work building and themeing this OS Installation, I still need to theme the Main OS and it's icons etc, but I'll try to share my progress and take nay feedback you guys give, don't forget to include your app requests as I may not do too many new inclusions for a while after this build/release.

    Let me know if the theme doesn't appeal to you, I am just trying it out while I work on the tweaks/apps and addons to see if it grows on me too.

    I have a Whole OS ISO based on Trouba's last public install.wim, I want to test out the themer in the VM I just installed with it to keep my actual OS clean enough to finish the building of this OS.

    I have shared the new ssWPI and new ssWPI theme already.

    I will be updating the following apps tomorrow night to include and put in the repository - I have the update installers downloaded ready to go (Trouba ;) ):
    Code:
    Avidemux_v2.7.4_ppApp
    AVS.Video.Converter_v11.0.1.632_ppApp
    Driver.Magician.Lite_v4.90_ppApp
    Google.Backup.and.Sync_v3.47.8667.1399_ssApp
    GPU-Z_v2.27.0_ppApp
    HandBrake_v1.3.0_x64_ppApp
    IcoFX_v3.0.3_ppApp
    IrfanView_v4.53_DualArch_ppApp
    K-Lite.Mega.CodeC_v15.3.2_ssApp
    mkvToolNix_v40.0.0_ppApp
    Paste.As.File_v2.1.4.0_ppApp

    Hey Glenn, you're going to love me. Found a reg tweak that prevents OneDrive from running upon start up. Tested it in the Pro build I was doing for mortmaru and others. It's so simple, it's painful:

    Code:
    ;Disable OneDrive from loading
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "OneDrive"="\%UserProfile%\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\OneDrive.exe\" /background"

    BTW: I already made new LibreOffice ppApp and new Luminar 4, just hadn't uploaded yet. Just uploaded IDM, Debotnet, W10Privacy.

    PS: Annoyingly, in the new Pro builds MS has not included an iconset in Notepad.exe, so when you refer to Notepad in the reg tweaks, it's not enough to just refer to "Notepad" in the icon line. I ended up extracting original Notepad icon from earlier Notepad and putting it alongside Notepad.exe (\Windows) and refer to it directly in the reg tweaks. But the other reason I mention this, when you then install Notepad2-Mod, which again has a reference to the internal icon for Notepad.exe, it reverts again to no icon. So maybe we should edit the Notepad2-Mod pp/ssApps to include a notepad.ico and maybe just write it to the \Windows dir, unless you have a better idea.

    @Trouba NO!!!!!
    Code:
    ;Disable OneDrive from loading
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "OneDrive"="\%UserProfile%\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\OneDrive.exe\" /background"
    YES:
    Code:
    ;Disable OneDrive from loading
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "OneDrive"=-
    If you kill every item listed in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]" then nothing will run - including settings.exe and sswpi.exe which I add to there as a module edit in "x:\Sources\$Scripts", these will also not run if you remove the entire key. I don't know what items MS or nLite put in there also, but not a good idea to do it.

    ^^That tweak, however, does not work^^

    EDIT: Tried various options that work "live" but not at the stage I need it to. There is nothing NTLite or Windows has as startup item there, only OneDrive.

    I am wondering if we shouldn't have a delete and add registry file, or sequence of reg files, that first delete the OneDrive entry, then add the other items in. OneDrive is really annoying because it ties up most resources right after desktop, such a bad design by Microsoft.

    Somehow, Autoruns is able to delete individual Run items and not all, so there should be a way to delete individual items without deleting them all. But - and "-" do not appear to work. Autoruns delete the entire value and stores it under "AutorunsDisabled" so that it can restore the value again if ticked on again.

    We could make X:\sources\$Scripts\Run_00_KillOneDrive.cmd

    KillOneDrive.cmd:
    Code:
    @echo off
    rem ** Delete All Startup Items **
    REG DELETE HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /f
    This wouldn't interfere with the rest of the tweaks, but it also may not work if MS is adding the registry entry after my scripts have ran - if you try, let me know, my scripts run at SetupComplete.cmd time, so your welcomed to move the code into there instead.

    Same here. Okay, that works; I don't run ssWPI anymore at startup but I tested it with Settings.exe and the script tweak doesn't interfere with it. Really, I think this is because we run ssWPI and Settings.exe under RunOnce, not Run (the latter will run every reboot) anyway. But it works, so no more annoying OneDrive. It wouldn't have been that bad if it wouldn't auto-update immediately as well, but I think most people would prefer to install the desktop version anyway.

    I am attempting to build a sysprep again (I really need the practice) and any extra help would be appreciated:

    I am basing it off Trouba's last build;
    http://forum.lastos.org/index.php?threads/last10-ltsc-x64-2019-10-31.1836/#post-20269
    ...installed on a formatted VHD, VirtualBox 6.1.2.

    I plan on using;
    1.Ctrl + Shift + F3 to enter Audit Mode
    2.PSWindowsUpdate off Clean-VM.iso to update to latest
    3.run 1.VM-Clean.cmd
    4.Use Sysprep Generalize, OOBE Prep
    5.Capture from VHD to install.wim
    6.Run through NTLite???
    7.convert to .esd

    I am not sure what I would need to do to help reduce the final size (Extras Before Step 4 and when I get to 6.NTLite what the hell I am best to pick from in there).

    hopefully by the end of this test I'll have more of an understanding on what I can do and if the updates I apply will stay applied to the image I capture. I have left it too long that I feel clueless with sysprepping methods...

    You can just run WUShowhide diagcab to hide Defender and Malicious Software updates, then run WU to install updates. Make sure to reboot various times after updating because I've had it where when you click shutdown it will read "shut down (or restart) and update" -- this means there is an unresolved task and you don't want to finalize it that way. This may also happen if you've run cleanmgr.exe (Disk Cleanup) and did the Update cleanup, so make sure to reboot several times after that as well (see later notes on cleanmgr.exe or else the cleanup script we use).

    Don't forget to enable .NET 3.5 in Windows Features (enable it and download from internet, don't have to script-install it). Install VC Runtimes, extra.exe runtimes, DirectX 9c. Run Defender Control (it's portable) and disable Defender. I run CCleaner (latest ppApp pro) and select as much as you can and clean (except "Wipe Free Space"). I run it as portable, no reg files -- if you do have to reg an app, make sure to clean reg entries out or any appdata folders an app may create. You can run CCLeaner reg cleaner, it doesn't hurt anything (unlike some others). You can run either cleanmgr.exe (system32) with Admin rights to clean Win updates or you can use our script.

    So what I do is create an .iso that has all cleaning scripts and apps for sysprep in it. WUShowhide, Defender Control, CCleaner (you can incluide InSpectre to set microcode protections -- remember: you choose a setting and reboot -- it won't take until reboot, so if you keep clicking it you won't know the state of it as the app can't read it before reboot), hosts file, scripts, any notes, runtimes, so that you can mount it inside the VM to have access to the files. I never install VirtualBox Guest Additions inside a sysprep VM so I only use mounted .iso's to get access to files from the host.

    Since this is LTSC, the older NTLite (activated) may do just fine for all tasks. With the recent Pro image I finalized, newest NTLites worked better for Manifest Backup removals (which you can do in the Free version) but it should be fine to use the older NTLite for LTSC. The older (activated) NTlite can remove cache files whereas the free version can't.

    I think this is the preset I used last time:

    Just save as .xml and import into NTLite (you'd need the licensed version for this preset). If you use the Free version, you can import this preset but it just won't enable the items it won't allow. Should work that way.

    I always do some minor manual cleanup before VHD capture (when mounted via Disk Manager and assigned a drive letter) but most if not all of this would be handled by NTLite (I just like to have it cleaned for Full image capture).

    This should pretty much cover it, let me know if you get different results.

    OMG, it's sooo slow... My wife has promised me I can get a 1TB SSD in a week or two, that'll speed up my VM OS Sysprep updates/captures, just in time for the Patch Tuesday 11th update batch.

    I have updated my CleanVM.iso with all the tools you mention, I'll do my best to automate the process when I can test it all faster, so we can spend more time tinkering and less time cleaning up after ourselves.

    Maybe move our WinRE/PE conversation over to this thread as it is relating to this and many up-coming builds. Let me know how you go with using a LivePE to install from, I think you'll soon decide it's better to include the 180mb of extra ISO files than to have it less diverse, it is an install media first and doesn't affect the size of the fresh installed OS after all.

    Since I was usnig Win10 Pro 1909 as base (mortmaru etc) I had an Edge shortcut to desktop upon install, got it reg tweaked out. I don't think LTSC has that but if so, the reg tweak is:
    Code:
    ;Disable Edge desktop shortcut creation
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "DisableEdgeDesktopShortcutCreation"=dword:00000001
    I'm going to upload starting tonight, even if the 11th is close by. But it has taken MS from early December until January 28 to fix their Explorer issues (at least 4 updates) so I'm not eager to introduce yet another batch of bugs with the updates scheduled for Feb 11th.

    Plus, I want to get the upload out of my hair so I can up the Last7 images (x64 and x86, both with x86 PE). MS screwed up the stretch function for wallpapers in Windows 7 with what was supposed to be their final updates Jan 2020, so you get a black screen if you use stretch. Many saw this as a petty move by MS to annoy users to get them on Win10, but I read they are coming out with a fix for all users Feb 11 so I'm holding off on that to finalize the L7s. I have the old WIn7 LivePE (x86) included for the Last7 builds, with updated ppAppsLive. I can upload my ppAppsLive for you if you want, but I figure you've already updated them. My current list is:
    Code:
    7-Zip_ppAppLive
    Active@Tools_2020_ppAppLive
    AnyBurn_ppAppLive
    AomeiPartitionAssistant_ppAppLive
    BulkRenameUtility_ppAppLive

    MiniToolPartitionWizard_ppAppLive
    Q-Dir_ppAppLive
    QtWebBrowser_ppAppLive
    RAMTester_ppAppLive
    RecuvaPro_ppAppLive
    RegistryWorkshop_ppAppLive
    Regshot_ppAppLive
    ResourceHacker_ppAppLive
    Rufus_ppAppLive
    SumatraPDFReader_ppAppLive
    TeraByteImage_ppAppLive
    TreeSizePro_ppAppLive
    UltraISO_ppAppLive
    UnstoppableCopier_ppAppLive
    WinRAR_ppAppLive
    WizTree_ppAppLive
    zLivePE-Tweaks_ppAppLive
    zzLast7InstallShortcutsPE
    I find it better to use ppAppsLive for 7-Zip, WinRAR, etc., not script apps because you can reg them just like regular OS but it gives you much more control over the start menu, including subfolders and icons. I always had blank icons in the past because the scripted apps were set to create the folders too, so the LastOS icons wouldn't take (I'm talking about in the LivePE). I also got rid of start menu subfolders, because not THAT many apps are included in the PEs so may as well just use Disk, Internet, System, etc root folders. Where the scripted apps had subfolders set, I edited the .script files with Notepad.

    By the way, THANKS A LOT for your iso base and the builder, it will come in super handy I'm sure. I may even use it for Win7 in the future.

    EDIT: Funny question, but I've updated the ppAppsLive to use the ppApp/ssApp.apz format (not the old .ini files) and was wondering if there wasn't a way to archive the ppAppsLive folders as .apz. Would they still be able to run as ppAppsLive or do they have to be open-folder apps? I ask because my folder is 280mb open, but only 117mb archived as .7z (compressed). So using a gen rather than a regen, but would/could that work?

    EDIT2: Duh, it can, but it will load the app files into memory which we don't want. Here is the link to the ppAppsLive (all x86).

    Thanks for your list/download of preferred tools, I'll pick from it now and see what I feel I'd need access too in it (probably be all but the registry stuff as Regedit_PE does the job for me there, I only edit remote registries, I'll try out Reg Workshop and see if it loads them etc and may swap to it tho).

    Also do NOT use a x86 LivePE in x64 Installing OS's that could be installed on a UEFI enabled BIOS as you can not install a x64 OS from a x86 LivePE due to the security "enhancements".

    When you build ppAppsLive you can put them into the Win10XPE\Custom\x64\AdditionalFiles\Program Files\ppAppsLive\ folder, this will compress them into RAM making them closer to 130mb instead of 280mb and still work close to full speed (only take slightly longer to load from).

    You can't really blame MS for changing the wallpaper stuff, maybe they modified the source code to match the Windows 10 code base and in that if your PC is unregistered then it doesn't display other walllpapers, so would have damaged it.

    The Win 8.1 OS is better for Windows 7 PE's as it works with older hardware that doesn't have the newer CPU requirements (not important so much anymore as most older PC's are dead/dying) so I would probably use XP on these really old PC's now anyway, so go ahead and use a 10 PE ;)

    I noticed the icons are perfect in WinRE, so maybe the icon issues are a thing of the past.

    The 11th is so close, I am all for new and improved bugs :D

    -----------------------

    I'll upload a new Last10 Tweaks soon with that Edge link remover, did you sort out if any of the DeBotNet tweaks/reg also need to be added, I attempted to regshot the process, but it it was my real OS and was taking ages, so I aborted/rebooted,I'll run it in a vm instead if not.

    ----------------------

    Your 7zip ppAppLive has a ppApp.7z stil in the folder, I'll check the others and edit if I find more.

    I update Terabyte TrueImage

    Added WizFile as it's faster than Everything (Search)

    * Check the newer MakeShortcuts I made as it works different to the one you have included, might not be better, but it is different. AutoIt source code included for details.

    Hehe, I agree about the Win8.1 x64 PE, but one thing at a time please, I need to get it to work first! I finally had one older builder to crank out Win7 PEs and everything actually work. It's true that the generation of PCs that this is meant for is shrinking, but for 7 I mean to make some with newer PEs as well -- especially when people can set their usb3 ports to 2.0 mode or use 2.0 ones if available, it should install fine.

    I did not capture any Debotnet tweaks yet, it would be good to test in VM with LastOS tweaks in place, to just capture what is relevant.

    Code:
    Active@Tools_2020_ppAppLive
    AnyBurn_ppAppLive
    AnyDesk
    DefragglerPro_ppAppLive
    Everything_ppAppLive
    HDD.Low.Level.Format_ppAppLive
    HDTunePro_ppAppLive
    ImgBurn
    Magical.Jelly.Bean.Keyfinder
    QtWebBrowser_ppAppLive
    RAMTester_ppAppLive
    RecuvaPro_ppAppLive
    Regshot_ppAppLive
    ResourceHacker_ppAppLive
    Rufus_ppAppLive
    Speccy.Pro_v1.31.732_ppAppLive
    SumatraPDFReader_ppAppLive
    TeraByteImage_ppAppLive
    TreeSizePro_ppAppLive
    UltraISO_ppAppLive
    UnstoppableCopier_ppAppLive
    WinRAR_ppAppLive
    WizFile_ppAppLive
    WizTree_ppAppLive
    zLivePE-Tweaks_ppAppLive
    I included the above in my boot.wim and it only made it 882mb (I turned off most Builder app addons and set the rest to go to appropriate folders), I still might move Active@Tools_2020_ppAppLive, AomeiPartitionAssistant_ppAppLive, TreeSizePro_ppAppLive to be on the ISO instead, it'll take 143mb out of the boot.wim, but they compress down to 75mb so might not need to. It will just let the OS's install on a system with under 2GB of ram if you make it small enough, on those systems you can use WinNTSetup to apply a install.* to a Partition anyway (doesn't care about memory) tho, so not all bad anyway.

    -EDIT-

    I've moved 7Zip back to the addon, I prefer to have Context menu integrations so I can compress and extract any files :)
    Irfanview I used the addon again for better file type integrations

    AomeiPartitionAssistant_ppAppLive - Removed this as it complains about missing drivers
    MiniToolPartitionWizard_ppAppLive - same as above, but I enabled it back into the builder

    Active@Tools needs a mod to the ppApp.app for it to add all shortcuts:
    Flags=KeepInFolder|KeepAll|NotMetroFriendly|AlwaysHide
    NotMetroFriendly makes it make all shortcuts, not just the first one.

    RegistryWorkshop_ppAppLive - This wont work in a x64 PE, need the x64 version

    -EDIT-

    On a good note, I got the network to work properly:

    Make sure the boxes are ticked the same as shown in yellow

    Yes, you should update the apps to x64 versions as this is meant for x86 PE, but this was also so you'd have the templates largely done :D

    7-Zip and WinRAR create context menus just like on regular install, at least on the x86 (took x64 regs out).

    Not sure what you mean by Active@ Tools, all shortcuts get created for me (again these are x86 apps though).

    I don't have Active@Tools 2020 (in x64), it's also not in the repo's

    Also the network fix isn't 100% still, so ignore the above.. it just fails sometimes.

    DeBotNet, registry changes compared to Last10 Tweaks:

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\InputPersonalization]
    "AllowInputPersonalization"=dword:00000000
    "RestrictImplicitInkCollection"=dword:00000001
    "RestrictImplicitTextCollection"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows]
    "DisableFileSyncNGSC"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent]

    "DisableSettingSync"=dword:00000002
    "DisableSettingSyncUserOverride"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsInkWorkspace]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting]
    "Disabled"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\InputPersonalization]
    "AllowInputPersonalization"=dword:00000000
    "RestrictImplicitInkCollection"=dword:00000001
    "RestrictImplicitTextCollection"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows]
    "DisableFileSyncNGSC"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent]
    "DisableSoftLanding"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection]
    "DoNotShowFeedbackNotifications"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync]
    "DisableSettingSync"=dword:00000002
    "DisableSettingSyncUserOverride"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsInkWorkspace]
    "AllowSuggestedAppsInWindowsInkWorkspace"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Clipboard]
    "EnableClipboardHistory"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager]
    "SilentInstalledAppsEnabled"=dword:00000000

    I use some of these features myself, but not all of them. As 3/4 of the tasks in DeBotNet are scripts, it may not be worth changing these settings by default, users who want the extra security may appreciate applying DeBotNet manually post install.
