[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

OK ... do you have an error during installation ?

With the first test stops VirtualBox

Without activate EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (boot.wim)   works !

(In older versions of WinReducer, I used this option and it worked!)
Maybe I use the Home Edition...

I made the translation for the new version !!!

And by the way I forgot some maybe some useless "Drivers", you may remove :
- "Network - ISDN - IBM"
- "Network - ISDN - Microsoft"

Just adding my findings here - "Network - ISDN - Microsoft" is needed if you want to share your internet from your smartphone to the PC (tethering) because the standard "RNDIS" driver is included in there.

All the best

OK, I finished to test your new wccf and I activated " EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (boot.wim)" ... it does not work, like you said ... Infact you need to activate the Protect Presets named :
- "Protect VirtualBox" : for virtual box
- "Protect VMware Player and Worksation" : for vmware player

That's a nice sharing .... thank you very much !

I added this in my list for later

You are very welcome!

It took quite some time and serveral ISOs to sort it out and therefore I thought this might save quite some time for everyone else with this feautre needed.

All the best!

Hello ruby2hora,

OK, I see you activated in your wccf, the virtualbox protection, and you still have the same trouble.

This should be a missing storage driver, so try to do not remove all storage drivers.

I will test in virtualbox to see if I'm able to reproduce this, and I will let you know.

I try the ruby.wccf with a PRO rs1.0 without any problem size is 2.23 Gb
so the pb can come from the use of a rs1.351.

BTW I dont know where such .iso can be downloaded

Thanks Jpm !
I made many tests include Rs 1.0 PRO and did not work.

Now I made one without drivers storage enable... no chances.
Tomorrow's start from the beginning.
Maybe I should format the SSD hard.

my Windows 10 is installed on an SSD TOSHIBA-TR150

hey ruby2hora,

what kind of error do you have in virtualbox ? if possible a screenshot should be great.

are you able to tell me the result if you do not remove all drivers ?

I start VirtualBox when they start loading, immediately stops
I tried on my PC, the same happens to.
I deleted EVERYTHING!  and i begin again...
All new programs, windows ... all.
In fact, I've already started ...  

I'm desperate...  

New Test... (all new)
- WinReducer EX-100 - v0.9.10.0 (alpha) - downloaded again
- Windows 10 HOME Build 14393.351 x64 - rebuilt
ISO size (4.27 GB)
The same problems ... Stops VirtualBox(New downloaded), from the beginning
I'm working on a separate hard (formatted)
This time I made another configuration
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Tomorrow I will install a new Windows Original
and I will work with the new Windows(maybe with better luck...)

From where and how are you  downloading a "Windows 10 HOME Build 14393.351 x64".

With MediaCreationTool i just download a 14393.0 size 3.99 Gb (Pro & Home FR)

Latest official release is 14393.0. He probably download this and integrate KB3197954.
Also for me website: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is better than MediaCreationTool.
Here you got ISO already. MCT converting/packing downloaded files :F

in fct I try to understand why in his contect the WinReducing process produce a .iso of 4GB and I get with the same .wccf a 2.x GB

Well my latest build with WinReducer also made ~4GB when I load my configuration. There is a bug.
I integrate KB witch NTLite and select 2 options. Than I used WinReducer.

Hello guys,

Are you using v0.9.10.0 ?

Which Windows 10 version are you using ?

Which languages ?

Thank you for your report

14393.0.home.single.language.x64.english.iso
+ integrated KB3197954-x64.msu with NTLite.
WinReducer v0.9.10.0.
One time WinReducer works fine when I load my CFG and WIM image was cutted.
I will try one more time.

Download from here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
SHA checked
Using WinReducer v0.9.10.0
Windows 10 Home Build 14393.0
Updated with WinReducer to Build 14393.351
English language

OK, I will have a look at this today and let you know ... about english iso

This morning I installed a fresh Windows on my PC
I made a new test ... the same result?!

@ruby2hora : I tried again during this afternoon ... and it worked in VMware Player (with or without the option "EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (boot.wim)") ...

I downloaded an english iso (x64), then integrated the latest cumulative update with winreducer.

I also tried in virtualbox (but I do not know why only x86 systems are supported, so I have an error during startup because windows 10 x64 is not supported in the virtualbox machines).

Sorry I do not remember which computer do you have, but have you tried with windows 10 x86 ?

I also see that you have activated "Unattended - Page File Size" without assigning a maximum size. Please assign a maximum size.

Could you please post a screenshot of the virtualbox error

@deVilbaT : about the size, the final size may depend on several things :
- if you integrated some drivers
- if you selected "Optimizations - ISO - Boot - Delete Unneeded Editions" and "Optimizations - ISO - Windows - Delete Unneeded Editions"
- the components you remove

These are few example of possible optimizations to reduce the iso final size. But if you send me your wccf I will have a look at it

This is my PC... I always use 64 bit
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I had no problems before.
Virtualbox, works, without the option "EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (boot.wim)
I can not do screenshot, because, stops immediately when i start.
---------------------
Not to forget.
With the option "EXPERT - WinSXS Folder Cleanup (boot.wim) enabled, that does not go on VirtualBox, not go neither on my PC.  


Sometime when you have time, you can do a test on my pc.

for me i need to get into BIOS and activate the support for virtual machines:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

after that x64 support is enabled in virtual box

I checked, is enabled.
