2. Windows 11 Barebone Dot Net Framework 4.0 Only version with Stripped down Dot Net Framework 4.0 installation size consumes around 3.04 GB.


if you want to strip down further by deleting System Dll's from System32 & SySWOW64:

If you want to strip down further be careful these Dll's will break some or other software, Anyways for Enthusiast like me here is the download link for System32 & SySWoW64 Dll's which can be removed or deleted, with this you can bring down installation size further. It works for both Windows 10 & 11 22H2 versions.

Known Issues:

1.Classic GUI - Enable Windows Photo Viewer has been set to true but still images are opened in paint in the absence of Windows Photos.

2. WinReducer EX-100 has a bug it doesn't Strips Down Dot Net Framework 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5 rather it deletes Dot Net Framework 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5 Completely and strips only Dot Net Framework 4.0 but still with few important missing files. Which you need to add back for various software compatibility.

To fix the problem with .NET Framework you could use MSMG Toolkit or NTLite to force applications use the latest versions of .NET Framework. I will take a look at the preset, good job.

Can you share the list of files and DLLs that you remove by hand to slim down further?

Very much appreciate the work you have done on this.

5. Diagtrack telemetry files are deleted with EX-100 2.4.0

New updated WinReducer Config based on 2.4.2 has been released

Thanks for sharing your config! I tried to build my own lite version from scratch on windows 1903 (ver 18362.1256) and it kept hanging during the install process, wouldn't progress past the spinning circle getting ready screen. After about a dozen attempts, I started searching for preset wccf files, and winterstorms were good, and booted fine, but didn't support bluetooth, and I tried tweaking it, but couldn't get it to connect to any device.

Yours works! as a baseline it was the best I could find for my needs, I did have a problem though, it wouldn't connect to the new xbox wireless controllers properly, said driver error, so I had to do a little tweaking, but eventually figured it out. Thanks again for helping me out buy sharing this great config!

New updated WinReducer Config based on 2.9.9.0 has been released with few fixes for Windows 10 21H1 19043.1023

1. Start Menu, System Tray, Display Settings & Personalize works properly now.

Thanks to Cheddar in finding out the problem.

Hi,

I went with the Extreme config on Windows 10 1909 after 21H1 did not reduce as it should and ended up with a BSOD because i removed Application Experience.
Made some small modifications to the config. Enabled the Features and removed some more things, including Network Connection Broker. Now bluetooth does not work, so creating a new image while i type this out . 

A tip for people using the profile, be sure you have a webbrowser setup file, and something like winrar or 7zip on another partition/drive. I forgot about the archiving software, had a browser, but no internet, and my wlan driver was still zipped You can ofcourse also integrate the drivers beforehand.

About the config file itself, awesome job mackyreddy. The installation does not take more than 10 minutes from starting the installer to desktop. Only takes 3gb of disk space compared to 15gb+ of an unedited Windows setup, and for the short duration i have been testing it now everything seems to work.
Seems a lot faster also, so a big Thank You!

regarding boot loop problem check whether your installation media ( i mean iso file) is corrupted.

Hello guys

@falkorikstv : about bootloops in EX-110, could you please try "EX-110 - v0.9.2.0 [ALL]" ... maybe this will solve your trouble [until I solve all bootloops] .., If not could you please report it in the Ex-110 bugs section, thanks.

Hi @mackyreddy and @winterstorm2050,

I find some useful information that may happen with one of you using the presets of mackyreddy. 
The first issue - Network Status is missing from Network & Internet (Already search in the SettingsPageVisibility, and network-status is not hidden). Maybe some component has been removed.
The second issue - Phone calls in Privacy settings not working, I use the extreme preset from mackyreddy and tweak a little bit.
The third issue - When I unhide Data usage, Network & Internet shows the stack-buffer size message.
The Last Issue - Is with Windows powershell features in WinReducer, I didn't find any information about it and decide to remove and completely removed the powershell and not the powershell 2.0, so maybe will be good to warn the users about this.

All the issues here, is just for warning the users and will be good if a topic with component to keep for each feature like phone calls needs to work properly. So, the users that is starting using WinReducer could be easily guide to your needs without any problems.

Here's the preset from the ISO I created, and where I test and find the issues
