CreativiTea's EX100 preset

hi guys. I'm making an extreme preset for my personal use.

I started from "Basic" preset by @KrX (thank you for your hard work ) and then went forward.
I've been able to install Windows, but then I'm unable to boot to the desktop (installation corrupted).
Here is my wccf. If anyone would like to check where I failed, it would be of great help  thanks to all of you.

Hello CreativiTea

Could you please mentioned with which Windows 10 (version and edition) you experienced this trouble.

Because with I tested an entire component removing (my personal "Extreme" preset), with Windows 10 RS4 PRO x64, and it worked as intended.

Have a great day !

hi there, I was using a pre-release build, now I understood the problem.
Now I'm using a RS4 ISO updated to April 2018. I first made an ISO with this preset, all ok. Finally been able to make something useable. Then I re-inserted the ISO in WinReducer and removed all features (except for NET Framework), tried and all ok. But still couldn't remove OneDrive and Store.
So I re-inserted again my ISO (with removed Features) in WinReducer and made this preset, I can install it and use it, but I have some issues (or, some doubts):

- I removed OneDrive from navigation pane (from Remover > Tweaks), but it still shows drive in the navigation pane.
- Windows Update doesn't automatically download driver. What did I break?
- I can search and find updates, but I can't install them (shows me error after having downloaded updates).
- Store doesn't work anymore, but it shows in Start. And I can't remove it. How could I?
- Again, Settings (ImmersiveControlPanel) shows inside Start, how can I remove it (I'd like to see Settings only on the sidebar of start, the "column" where I have links to Documents, Users, Explorer, etc... not in Start list.
- How do you manage to make Windows installation footprint under 5 GB? Only compression and WinSxS option in WinReducer?

Thanks to all who will want to investigate some of these, or who already has the solution.

Hello CreativiTea

* About the tweaks for OneDrive, I confirm the bug ... and this will be issued in the next version.

* About, Windows Updates drivers download, there was a bug ... so it will be fixed in in the next version too ... check this thread:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

* About Windows Store troubles, try without removing these components :
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Input Text Services)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Microsoft Store Services)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (.NET Native)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Visual C++ Runtime)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Windows Store"
- "Modern UI Apps - Windows Store (Purchase App)"
- "Services - Windows Store (Install) Service"
- "Services - Windows Store (PushToInstall) Service"

* To get a Windows Installation footprint under 5Gb, with your 2nd wccf file in your previous post ... you should have an installation footprint size closer to 3.5Gb or 4.0Gb maybe less ?

Have a great day !

hello and thank you.

- ok for OneDrive and Windows Update, I'll wait the next version.
- no, maybe I didn't explain myself well: I'd like to completely remove Windows Store, so I don't want to see it in Start. I can't remove it from Start, I just would like to totally erase it. Should I leave "Protection Modern UI Apps" on OFF? Will keeping OFF this preset, make ImmersiveControlPanel KO? or will it work without problem?
- no, I had an installation of around 5 GB. but didn't select "recovery" compression, but "fast", because I wanted to try the ISO if working or not. so I'll try compressing more.
- anybody managed to make Settings app not showing in start list?

thank you

Hello CreativiTea

1) - If you just need "Immersive CPL" (aka "Settings") you can disable "Protection Modern UI Apps" (on OFF) safely ... but you must do not remove these components :
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Input Text Services)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (.NET Native)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Visual C++ Runtime)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Immersive CPL"
==> This is what I'm doing and never experienced troubles

2) About installation file compression :
- "Fast" : it equals to a very light compression (33% bigger than "Normal")
- "Normal" : Default compression used by Microsoft. An excellent standard file size
- "Recovery" : it equals to an higher compression level (33% smaller than "Normal")
==> if I were you, I should use the "Normal" compression mode, because it's a really great compromise between speed and size

[quote="CreativiTea"]- Again, Settings (ImmersiveControlPanel) shows inside Start, how can I remove it (I'd like to see Settings only on the sidebar of start, the "column" where I have links to Documents, Users, Explorer, etc... not in Start list.[/quote)
I'm testing many things about that, and this should be available in the v1.9.21.1 [VIP] and v1.9.22.0

[quote="CreativiTea"]- anybody managed to make Settings app not showing in start list?[/quote)
Could you please precise me what's the start list ... for me this is the place, in the start menu, where there are all pinned shortcuts.

Have a great day !

This is what I mean: I'd like to remove Settings on the right ("NO"), and keep Settings on the left ("YES"). But yes, you just answered this question, I'll wait next builds
 


So, under Remover > Modern UI Apps, I can remove everything except for:
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Input Text Services)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (.NET Native)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Framework (Visual C++ Runtime)"
- "Modern UI Apps - Immersive CPL"
and I'm ok with Windows Installation, Activation and Settings?

Thank you.

Hello Creativitea

There will be new options, in v2.0.7.1 [VIP] and v2.0..8.0 [ALL] to remove one or both shortcuts ... and others

I wish you to have a great day !
