  • DON'T Install WINDOWS Without Watching This FIRST!
    In this video, I'll show you how you can use an Answer or (unattend) file during the Windows installation to automate the Windows setup process on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Answer files can be used to automatically debloat Windows 11 and apply customized user settings that saves a lot of time when installing Windows on a lot of computers.

      Just completed an install of Windows 11 23H2. No modifications to your install file. WOW! This *definately* a lean'n'mean install. 79 task at desktop, 22GB on disk, no problem activating (digital license); Updated with security/feature updates for June/2024, then used group edit to block security for 30 days, features of 365 days. I didn't use Chris' app to install a browser, I have the Firefox installer on my NAS. To hell with Tiny 11, this is by far a much much cleaner system. Only thing that concerns me, is Chris' server is gonna get hammered when word of this way to install Windows gets out.

    Dude, this "BLANK CANVAS" is literally what I need instead of installing LTSC!
    You've created a pre-built CTT script so it can be run on-demand without needing to type IRM IEX stuff through powershell.
    This saves a lot of time and greatly saves time for me to setup things into fresh installed Windows.
    Thank you so much!

  • @the.crypto.x
    @the.crypto.x 5 дней назад +79

    Just wanted to clarify some expectation based on Microsoft documentation, so if find your OS is updating before you expect it to, you know why :)
    Both DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodinDays and DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodinDays (as most refer to Regular Updates and Security Only Updates respectively) cannot be set as long as this script has been set to - 2 years, their maximums are as following according to this documentation: DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodinDays 0-365 days, DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodinDays 0-35 days.
    So setting to 730 for both is not reflective of what is permitted or respected by the OS.
    365 days is the maximum for Regular Updates and 35 days for Security Updates.
    However this is a great video and very informative! Keep up the great work.

      if you're concerned with update being automatically downloaded, just go to windows update and change the setting to ask you first before downloading the update.

      Anytime I've tried tweaks like this that is exactly what happens. You may get away with your "dream" setup for a period of time but eventually the updates will ruin it.
      I just wish someone would make a reliable and trustworthy windows clone that could run all windows programs and also support everyone's existing hardware. There is a wide open market for someone to swoop in and take on this type of project but how that all becomes a reality with copyright, security, and just basic public trust who knows.
      I think this specific approach should be tested for at least 12 - 18 months to see how things pan out in the long run. To anyone who is considering this please just know that MS actively searches for these types of projects and will go out of its way to put in an update that ruins it all.

    Hiding Language Switcher is counter-productive for those who uses several languages.

Also starting in safe mode command prompt came up with a message that the account was locked. i would never again install Windows without making sure it will ask you to logon by ctrl-alt-delete and have the administrator account activated: a sudo account.

So if you want Windows 11 Pro, from the Windows set up screen Choose "Windows 11 Pro N" it installs with No Media or Bloatware as standard.
