Windows 10 - Bloatware Free Edition

When I installed Windows 7 bro, I started getting random errors here and there of this app not being able to launch or some random crashes that drove me crazy and I nuked it

I did install all the drivers and disabled TPM but I don't know why is it so difficult to run this on new machines. I also used the Simplix Pack to update. I feel like giving it another go

 

Thanks for trying. I went to rep you and have to spread more around first and come back.

I have had zero issues with it on the P870DM-G, P870DM3 and Tornado F5/16L-G-1080. Worked fine on all three. Will be interesting to see if the Ricky Retardos from the Redmond Mafia have done anything to make using it on my new desktop with 8700K a problem, or if it is going to be artificially difficult. But, I'm going to make doing that a top priority. I'll probably be at the top of 8700K leaderboards with several benchmarks without Windows 10 cancer OS kicking my CPU in the nuts.

I wonder if one or more of the proprietary MSI apps is causing an issue with it. Are any of them designed to run on Windows 7?

 

nope, none were designed for Windows 7. the drivers are cross compatible with the exception of the Intel VGA Drivers which I used a site called Drivers Cloud to find the driver for it as all the ones on MSI's site and Intel's site wouldn't even install. I wonder if me running Windows Update after having had run the Simplix Pack had anything to do with this but I did ensure that I installed none of the cancer updates as I checked them against my list of updates to avoid. I might try again when I'm free but this time won't install ANY update for a start

 

That definitely might be a cause. As you know, I don't allow that feces to run. Maybe that's why I have been so blessed with stable late-model computers running Windows 7. You know as well as I do, these imbeciles from Micro$uck are going to pull out all the stops to sabotage the last good version of Windows. They may have developed a sick fetish for digital genocide watching NVIDIA kill performance on past generations GPUs every time that have something new to sell. Any update released within 90 days of when Windows 10 went RTM in July of 2015 probably should be avoiding like gonorrhea. There's nothing to stop them going back and adding malware to their past updates that used to be safe. Windows Updates need to be classified as NSFW.

 

@Mr. Fox I gave some rep points to @Phoenix
I stopped using W7 on host PC and simply moved it to VM, whenever I want, I just install it and every thing is setup in 5-10 mins on a SSD and it boots very fast. I think W10 should come with a feature that has pre-defined profiles during OS install, For example:

1. Mr. Fox Profile (No UWP apps and bloatware)
2. Mr. Phoenix Profile (Auto updates all apps and OS)
3. Mr. Papusan (High Performance mode all the time,)
4. Standard Users (No UWP apps)
5. Standard Users(UWP apps and everything else) <--- I like this one.

Profile 1, 2, 3 and 4 will no longer have support for UWP apps or any cross platforms which behaves like an OS enthusiasts always wanted.
Profile 5 is stock OS just like Android OEMs or vendors ROM files.

 

Win10 N is pretty good so far only managed to install the media pack and got it all working <3. I feel like Nvidia and Micro$hit are doing all kinds of troublesome things now which is why i'm back on older drivers. If linux had gaming support windows would be dead.

Also side note 1709 has a fullscreen optimization bug currently giving people "bad_module_info" error crashes the game and whatnot, a friend had this problem when he updated to fall creators.

 

Have a look at my sig rig Phoenix. We are MSI buddies now, lol. I never intended to buy MSI actually, but they had a Z370 motherboard MSI brand for $89 free ship... which is the lowest I have ever seen a Z370 motherboard, that combined with the i5-8400, which I can't overclock anyway only cost me $293 total shipped. Decided it was time once and for all to retire my 2500k. This is only a temporary rig for me for a couple years, then I will be doing an all out build with the latest i7 processor at said time.

On topic though, I am a little sad to say goodbye to my laptop, I just hope it sells, its so hard to sell these things, have to be willing to take a heavy loss on it or just keep it. We will see what happens though.

On topic, I am still doing 1607 for my next build... which is the sig rig... all the parts should be here tomorrow, and I am settled into my house with my parents... yet again... lol oh well, life could be worse.

 

You had msi gt73VR right?

 

No I had a clevo direct from Clevo, 7820HK + gtx 1070. i just prefer to have a desktop setup, otherwise would still be gaming on laptop lol

 

Win 8.1 is still serving me well..

 

The only problem with this is in regards to DRM on kaby/coffee lake CPU's when trying to update Windows... I use WSUS offline updater so no issues so far... still it sucks never being able to update properly. I probably am missing one or two things every time I try 8.1. Win 10 1607 with shut up ten has been serving me well, and now that I made the move to 4k, I am not sure, but I think Win 10 is the best scaling OS for 4k, but I might be wrong on that.

 

Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1709 (KB4051613) posted in the OP (MSU Update File)

 

Short question:
If I want to create my own ISO using the MSMG tool with the latest updates, do I need to integrate those files you specified (This adobe update, and the other update file in the OP)?
If I won't integrate them, but my Windows will be activated, I will be able to update using "Windows Update" after the installation?

Thanks, and thanks for all your hard work on this.

 

This thread is not for discussing the MSMG Toolkit Usage. I posted a brief video on how to use it in the OP and specifically mentioned, for any further questions regarding how to use that tool, visit the official thread on MDL as this is beyond the scope of this thread: MSMG Toolkit Support Thread

As for integrating updates, you need the .CAB version of the update not the .MSU

Your Windows will automatically update once you connect to the internet so don't burn too much calories on this. This is not a pirated or cracked version, it will function exactly like the regular ISO and you will receive regularly Windows Updates (AKA Windows Viruses)

 

How can I add another language in the image? Thanks for your work Phoenix.

 

Go and ask in the freakin' forum! I am not hear to teach you how to use the tool! MSMG Toolkit Support Thread

THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BLOATWARE FREE EDITION! NOT AN MSMG TOOLKIT TUTORIAL THREAD! I MENTIONED THIS IN THE OP!

Sorry if this sounds mean but I've had it with people not reading the OP then posting here on how to do this or that in the toolkit

 

I see the masses have finally discovered this page, poor poor Phoenix. If only he knew to close the topic now was required to keep his sanity. ::airhugs:: Such is the nature of life when you try to help people, hence why most men grow cynical as they age. huhuhu

 

New MSMG Toolkit released with better support for RS3......

I am entering the Phoenix lab now to cook you a new ISO...stay tuned...

 

I've spent the past 4 hours trying to do this. all failed attempts. Removing all metro apps BUT the store app didn't work. Now I have to redo everything, integrate the .NET Frame work, Windows Updates, etc. THEN remove the metro apps one by one. This will take a long time since the ISO now has 8 editions, Home, Pro, Education, you name it.

Someone send me a virtual cookie for God's sake

<<< Phoenix

 

Windows Updates integration failed.........we will have to do without any Windows Updates in this build:



I am exhausted. Phoenix out for the day

 

Just stick standard Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro man. If anyone else wants to do it for their version, let them. Anyone with a version other than those two probably has the technical know how to do it on their own away. If it makes your life any easier, just remove Store altogether, not sure if I read it right or not, so ignore me if I am wrong. I mean who needs the store honestly, lol.

Off-topic: I am absolutely loving my new Coffee Lake build... wow my 2500k was so outdated... My 960 EVO is soooo fast now, holy crap, lol. Everything seems very snappy.

 

I've been fine updating it manually tbh (1.0 with msu packages)

Also, my gaming experiences have been stable on 388.13 with my 970M Msi.

 

Here we come

 

Uploading the ISO to MajorGeeks as we speak. This would be the cleanest ISO you've ever had thanks to the new MSMG Toolkit with advanced cleaning methods in co-operation with the author of the NSudo app

New item removed with the new MSMG Toolkit:

Windows People Experience Host

PS: I have spent the entire past day to do this on my Windows 7 OS and that was the problem. Seems that it doesn't work well on a Windows 7 host OS so I had to format and install Windows 10 just to be able to use the toolkit properly.

 

Abort mission

 

downloading now. got a spare SSD going to try it on my new coffee lake setup, cheers

 

Abort, the Windows 7 games integration doesn't work correctly. I have to re-do all this without integrating the Windows 7 games

@saturnotaku

 

Uploading v1.2 now......

27 minutes to go......

ladies....brace yourselves for the best edition ever!

 

Just FYI:

Tweaks:
- Disabled downloading and installing 3rd party apps
- Enabled Fraunhofer MP3 Professional Codec

Download for early adopters until MajorGeeks uploads it to their servers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jdOQ0ey9_V4M6_FuaGSyDICMioIDRKAt

 

Gonna give this a try! Thanks for your hard work Phoenix!

 

Working perfectly here. If you get notifications that this app has reset it's file associations, just go to default apps and deselect your default apps for each category

 

This is the fastest Windows iteration I have used. Period.

Anyone not running this has no idea how fast his PC could be.

 

Phoenix, in which parts of the OS is the speed felt? Boot up, Shutdown, opening Windows' apps, other ...?

BTW, MSMG ToolKit 7.9 has just been released. Probably a quick fix for something.

 

In opening/closing apps, it feels like a whole new Windows.

The latest ISO was created with MSMG Toolkit v7.9

 

So I just installed Windows 10 after removing all store apps except store but the Microsoft Store now won't launch. clicking on it does nothing

I am gonna tear my head apart.... this is not fun....... I've reported this to MSMG....

 

Oh boy...anything else you've noticed so far?

 

Yes now the Group Policy Rules aren't working properly when applied, they don't do anything, and the Store app thing.

I regret to inform you all that due to how complicated Windows 10 has become for MSMG's tool to work on, and due to how buggy the MSMG Toolkit is.

I will abandon this project and just stick to using O&O ShutUp10 to disable the bloat as I've wasted countless days and hours on this it has taken over my life.

 

Have you tried latest version NTLite ?

Edit. We have only seen the beginning of this modern Services!! Only two times a year... Yees.

 

NTLite will destroy your machine. Don't come near it and yes I have the full fledged license for it

 

Can’t be any worse than this mess.

 

I am using RS3 v1.1 from earlier today. Not aborting. A) I don't care about Windows 7 Integration of games. B) I prefer that the store DOESN'T work. C) Everything seems stable so far, clean install took me around two hours, but I have everything done, including my 4k IPS 27" monitor overclocked to 70hz, stable. About to play some games, if all goes well, I'll be the only person in the world rocking this version. I'm number 1.1 baby (que the Nelly hip hop song, 'I am number 1')

fyi, I can't ever do 60hz EVER again... 70hz is not much better, but I was super close to refunding this monitor... but 70hz is slightly noticeable just web browsing, 60hz web browsing makes me want to gag.

EDIT: just did some gaming, everything works fine. however... I have decided to refund the 4k monitor and stick with my trusty 114hz QNIX 1440p. i just cant do 70 fps. omg its so laggy looking... lulz.

 

Isn't Fraunhofer MP3 codec already present in Windows versions?
NTLite is my go-to tool for tweaking Windows. Nuhi actually spends a lot of time in tweaking NTLite for max performance.
@Phoenix Do you remember seeing W10 Home Single Language edition for FCU because I haven't seen it yet.

 

For this next bloatware edition can we remove the Store, Edge and OneDrive? With the possibility of removing all that Xbox Dvr crap Dx. Also little side note, Privacy+O&O is the best thing to use right now. Been on O&O for years, i really love how it adds firewall rules on top with other features O&O is missing. I'm also fine if you use Home and Pro for Windows 10 editions like damn don't give up.

 

hi, phoenix, you should relax a little

i used msmg 7.7, with an iso torrent of win10 with the .19 update included, then removed all the crap from it, working just great and perfect

i know many people dont trust iso torrents.... well, i do, at leats from "gen2" uploader

i would suggest you to stick with only one windows, pro, nothing else, you have a video in order to teach other people to do it

the problem with msmg is how annoying and slow it is, and you have to work x times for every edition

also i would suggest to delete everything possible, i always do it and do not need anything else, no store, no defender, no nothing, remove everything possible, even advanced thing (this is annoying since it is one by one and slow like adobe flash, and all the other crap)

if anyone wants my iso just need to write me

it is pro x64, with everything that can be removed with msmg 7.7, update .19 included. working flawlessly

 

Closed by request of OP.
