Windows%2B10%2BLite.png


- tested, verified​
- error free​
- Windows Store, Updates, etc. all work.​
How to use?


  1. use attached
  2. extract, rename to Win10Lite (easier to call later)
  3. put Win10Lite folder in root of Windows 10 ISO using UltraISO
  4. burn to DVD
  5. install Windows 10 as normal
  6. wait until Setup requires input , then press Shift + F10.(near the end of installation, when it says "time for activation" and asks for a Product Key, User Account name, etc.)
  7. a command prompt will appear
  8. enter: cd x:\Win10Lite (replace x with your DVD drive letter)
  9. enter: start rmApps.cmd
  10. it will ask which features you'd like to remove (i recommend skipping Association tweaks)
  11. close CMD window and continue with installation until complete
NOTE: keep Windows Store & Microsoft Edge to prevent problems with Windows Update.
Everything else can be removed.

@alimac,

Can I ask on the latest version of this, currently v6.1, it doesn't state anything that you should keep Windows Store and Edge to ensure you have trouble free use of windows update.

Do you think I should still keep these two to ensure I can use windows update as I would much prefer to remove them but not if it causes windows update issues?

Thanks :)

to be honest mate no idea as not used for a while at a guess would say still the same
 
Windows 10 will run fast on old computers after this cleanup.

When you remove MS Edge there will be IE11!
You must hide Search from TaskBar if you remove MS Cortana because it is without function.
You can use search in File Explorer as normal.
Following Apps are installed on Server 2016: Calculator and Store.

Here are the steps:

Important!!! Disconnect from Internet because setup will run updates immediately!

1. Put this folder with files on your Windows 10 Setup USB/Disc (or anywhere else you can access during early windows setup; caution you have no explorer only command prompt during setup!).

2. Do a clean installation, reset or update of Windows 10 and wait
until the Windows Setup ask you for input (title at this setup step: ‘Get going fast’) but enter nothing for now!!!

3. Now press Shift+F10 on your keyboard. A a command prompt should open.
If you can't find your usb drive letter, type the following command
wmic logicaldisk get deviceid, volumename, description
Switch to you Windows 10 Setup USB/Disc and change to this folder.
Sample: cd /D E:\Win10Lite

4. Run file rmApps.cmd and answer the questions for your needs.

5. Close the command prompt and finish Windows 10 Setup.
