WinReducer 8.1 (Old discussion)

Hi theKramer and thanks for getting back to me

As I mentioned to KrX, with the Power Shell command I got rid of the Metro Apps, so that matter is solved.

Now I am really eager to get rid of the Windows accessories (On screen keyboard, Snipping tool, etc.).

I would be very glad to hear from anyone who knows a solution to that. Why in Win 8 simple things are so hidden?!?

Thanks

amin20 was right about the 'User account picture' bug. When I enabled the administrator account before reducing, I am able to change user account picture. But I don't want my account to be named 'Administrator', so what can I do?

I thought the issue was solved with v.99.6. Seems to be back, unfortunately. If the admin account is not selected, user account picture cannot be changed. For me, at least.

What happens if you create a user of type Administrators? Do you still experience the bug?

I did not try that. But that wouldn't be too useful for me, because I would want to install it on multiple systems, not just mine.

Is it possible to change the name of the administrator account to something else, after installation?

Hi Archimede.
It seems you are correct. I provided the wrong information.

Try these commands:
Feature names
DISM.exe /Online /Get-Features /Format:Table

Remove Features
DISM.exe /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:[name] /Remove

Follow this link to read more.

i feel that last some WR version have different resolution of reducing. alpha version and RC1 reduce more with minor difference with reducing option still final version resolution (and rc2 too) is less then old version. are there any feel this difference .....   with alpha and rc1 my iso size about 750 mb and same options with rc2 and final 950mb ???                       

Winter had to make some removal options less extreme 2 ensure everything worked correctly

Thanks theKramer, you are very kind

I have a cmd script setup that will extract the rtm iso and convert it to wmc enable .net, add updates and remove alot of the features and apps then builds the iso back.

I have a script also to remove crap and empty files post install but will we working on seeing if it can be done to the iso  instead will update when i find them.

heres the commands for the features and apps section it will list the packages into text files and then proceed to remove the ones i've stated.

Hello,

It seems to be related to a sensor ... Try to keep :

- "Control Panel - Sensors"
and/or
- "Services - Sensor Monitoring Service"

Have a nice day !

OK..I will try again this evening 

Winter: Will the upcoming intermediate v1.01 release address the user pic issue? As pointed out, it happens if admin account is not enabled before reducing. hopefully you can replicate the bug, with that info.

I will try to solve it (need to reproduce it before), if I will have enough time to do some tests for v1.01, otherwise it will be in v1.02 ...  

EDIT : Did you integrate some windows updates in your ISO ?

No, I did not integrate updates into the ISO. I only do that after installation.

I did integrate .net framework 3.5.

Hi winterstorm, I think this version is stable enough to integrate this idea, it will improve so much of performance
https://forum.winreducer.net/t365-suggestion-remove-files-from-image-through-excluding-files-with-config-file

HI winter,I find another three ploblems..
1.Folder open question：Some software will add  menu in the context menu.For example, i install this kuwo musicbox,it will add two menu in the context menu:"play with kuwo musicbox" and "add this to playlist",this two menu is top in the context menu,then,if i want Double-click the left mouse button to open the folder,kuwo musicbox will start!This is very strange..


2.I can not create a new txt,because it disappeared from the context menu.I only removed Work Folders and XPS Viewer and Printer,and they related?


3.open and save dialog:I only removed user floders links in Tweaks,but save to desktop is missing..

@winterstorm2050

I'm so sorry for my bad english,i use Google Translate 

@xuke771 :
Don't worry for your English, my friend ...    

1. I'm not sure this is related to WinReducer. I don't know what to say.

2. I will have a look about this.

3. Could you please explain a little more, thank you.

I need to delay it to v1.02. Not enough time to test.

Yes, could be. But I need to work on WinReducer 7.0 before (many people are waiting for it since many times). I will start to work on a new removing system which will be faster, stronger and better ...    ... I mentioned this in the schedule for 2014, and I will update WinReducer 8.1 with it but only in few months ...   ... I could tell you, that the system is ready to be added in WinReducer 8.1 but there are just other priorities for the moment. Thank you for your understanding !

@winterstorm2050

1.I re-Lite my WIN8.1,the problem disappears,the two menu kuwo musicbox add in the context menu is under "open" in the context menu, it's so strange  


this is the screenshot before:



2.OK

3.For example, download a file using IE browser,a dialog box will prompt you to run or save the file, i want save it to the desktop,but i can't find this..

Yeah, that's a good new. Users of Winreducer 7 could wait for a long time, so I could too
Thank you for all the works

Guys,

WinReducer 8.1 - v1.01 has been released and this is the Changelog :

*    NEW
.    « Keyboards - French (Switzerland) »
.    « Network – Skydrive »
.    « Tweaks – Explorer - Open File Security Warning Removal »
.    « Unattended – Time Zone »
.    « Unattended – Time Zone Disable Auto Daylight »

*    UPDATED

.    « EXIT » : Exit cleanup improvements
.    « Features – Windows Search » : Cleanup improvements (Modern UI Search)
.    « System - Updates » : If you downloaded all Updates, by yourself (so without WinReducer), you need to put all of them in the folder « WORK – INTEGRATE – UPDATES – x64 – Updates » (for x64) and « WORK – INTEGRATE – UPDATES – x86 – Updates » (for x86). All folders will be created automatically
.    « System - OOBE Configuration » : Add import for registry file (*.reg)
