I was working on this very idea 12 years ago when I unexpectedly had a stroke. I only recently got back into programming again and decided to look around to see if anyone had minimized a Windows install yet. You did a great service for many Windows users and I am extremely appreciative for all your hard work on this! Fantastic! You got my attention and a new subscriber. 😁
Yes I had a stroke about 2 years to the day and it sucked but I’m coming back slowly… but I am working to get back and ad well I have just subscribed and have liked this particular issue as well! Thanks for saying exactly what I was thinking as well!!
Hey Chris. I went through and had to extract the esd and I kept getting the error "The parameter is incorrect" when loading the install.wim in Win Toolkit. Until I extracted it with "/Compress:max" at the end of the command line.
@@ChrisTopher-wl6pd Make sure to do the /Compress:max the whole line so it will look like DISM /export-image /sourceimagefile:install.esd /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:install.wim /compress:max and it should work properly. Just keep in mind it will take time to make the file since it is compressing it. Just leave it to do it.
In case anyone else might be having the same issue: I had to add two more paramters to the ESD 2 WIM Command: dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
Can you do an update for versions 22H2? The ESD to WIM conversions seems to work but then after selecting the new WIM in WinToolKit, it just says "The parameter is incorrect"
There is a very real danger that custom versions we don't make ourselves might be dangerous. They might have remote access trojans and other nasty things in them that really don't belong on any computer really.
i see your video with only running 100 prozesses and i cant believe this is really working?? i look at my taskmanager and look on my pc now running 214 prozesses i dont now.....
Hi, again Chris! I forgot one thing in my earlier comment, From now I admit that you are my Teacher. So! Teacher, I am not asking you to make a video for this purpose, you can guide on the web page, And this would be highly meritorious if this is with Pics. -:) Thanks!!!
Chris - Where is the objective (before vs after) proof that stripping out "expendable" Win 10 processes makes for a faster system? On my new Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE / Win 10 Professional system, for example, the OS occupies just 9% of the 512GB system SSD; the remaining space is for apps. A second SSD, 1TB, is ready for my docuents, etc. Before installing ANY apps of my own, I checked: Task manager reports CPU usage at 0% to 1%; GPU loading is at 0%. The system HDD activity LED blinks only once per 5 to 10 seconds. Yes, in principle I don't like even one byte of bloat / spyware. But we can't blame the OS for viruses. etc. contracted by someone downloading from sketchy websites, etc. Anyway, my computer system is mission-critical for producing work. I don't even run an e-mail client on it, and I cannot risk having a stripped-down OS with various loose ends with unknown future side effects.
This worked for me after getting "The parameter is incorrect". Don't forget to change the value after "/sourceindex:" to the one you want (for me Windows 10 Pro was 6)
I've tried following the powershell steps in the description to create the .wim file. I keep getting incorrect perimeter when I try to open the install.wim file in Win Toolkit. I'm using a 22h2 iso. Anyone else had this issue / have a resolution?
To get an ISO with the WIM file already in it, I recommend visiting the microsoft download site with an IPad user agent. It will then offer you to *directly* download an ISO, instead of the creation tool. To fake my user agent, I just used the Firefox developer options, with the thing that lets you test responsive websites. Switch to iPad, CTRL+F5, configure and download.
Terrible ‘guide’ - full of misinformation, misguidance and contradiction. Whilst removing bloat may be necessary and/or appealing to some - which is fine - your other actions (which viewers will blindly follow) and comments/opinions throughout (some of which are A: Just plain wrong, and B: Advise against mechanisms intended to keep most users safe) are in fact dangerous and inevitably validates users ‘Windows-bashing’ when they’ve left themselves completely open having turned off every protection mechanism put in place, then simply repeat your misguidance and/or misinformation to others when in fact you have ruined their experience, not Microsoft. smh
If i have esd and i converted it to wim... Do i just pasted it in source or do i also need to delete the esd file in the sources folder. I plan on installing this on my laptop to try to speed up the laptop. Can i also activate Windows with my digital license?
Windows debloater is great I got that from one of your earlier videos. I only use Windows to manage iTunes on my phone and iPad. Everyday home computing I dual boot to Linux Mint.
Using WinToolkit_1.7.0.0, upon opening the official Win10_1909 image and choosing install.wim from the sources folder, in the component remover window, it only show 5 components to uninstall. I carefully choose everything in order following your video. The .wim file is about 4.5 gigs. Can anyone help me with this so I can remove some components for a clean windows 10 pro install? I'm running windows 7 x64. Are there any dependency programs required? Thanks for your help.
If you use the Media Creation Tool, it will give you the version of the installer that includes install.esd. If you spoof your Browser User agent to be something other than Windows (like Mac or Linux), it will offer you to download the ISO directly. And the ISO it downloads is the version with Install.wim. I discovered this after having problems with the powershell DISM conversion process. It would seem to convert/extract just fine, but then when I loaded up Win Toolkit and pointed to the newly created install.wim, it would give me an error of "Parameter is incorrect". So I went ahead and grabbed the direct download ISO, which coincidentally seems to be the version you are working with. That fixed the issue, and now I am cooking right along. Thanks for the video.
www.howtogeek.com/427223/how-to-download-a-windows-10-iso-without-the-media-creation-tool/ Here's a link for people who want a step-by-step guide. Following this I got the same file size iso and .wim file included of the same size.
I have a pro license with both Win 7 and Win 10 on separate removable boot drives under the same license, but I haven't booted either in many months. Linux, baby!!!
Chris Titus Tech I’m sadly way to deep in the windows net :( I still play a few games and my capture card to capture my Nintendo switch signal also doesn’t work in Linux :( I thought about turning it into a dumb game streaming system in my network but no clue
I've thought of going over to Linux but worried my windows programs that I us won't work or have problems. Would like to move my support from Bill Gates.
Also why do we need .net framework when we could just go download the latest 4.8? Does 4.8 not encompass all previous .net framework releases? dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework
.NET Framework 3.5 and below is not included in .Net Framework 4.8, hence it is a separate feature option in Windows 10. Older programs mostly use .Net 3.5 and lower
I have been using custom windows since i found about nlite for windows xp. I'm still running windows 10 1709 because i have been lazy to make newer custom, and since i want to remove as much as possible it always takes some time to find out what breaks it. I use WinReducer for customizing it, it can be used for free but there is also paid version. I have also tried Wintoolkit remover, but WinReducer seems to do much better job at making installation small. My custom .iso is taking about 1.5GB, fresh install taking only about 4GB of space. But that is not really what i would recommend everyone to do, i just want to go for the extreme, and it can break some programs or games from working, and if it breaks something it can be hard to find what removed component breaks it.
Thanks for the video Chris! I am in agreement with you in regards to LTSC. Even though I have seen guides to building LTSC from eval ISOs and such, I still am a bit suspicious of the tools used for the same reasons you talked about in the videos.
Ltsc is amazing but people aren't going to pay $400 for a license, I don't care what the TH-cam trolls say. Key sites are shady as hell and I will never recommend one. It's why I don't cop out and say just use that.
An aside: I think it is great practice for us IT pros to use tools like WinTools and find "legal" ways to work with stuff like this. Legitimately earn and maintain our cred, so to speak. I remember being proud of myself when I figured out slipstreaming with Windows XP using tools like RyanVM with OEMbios, BTS driverpacks, etc to install Windows XP on OEM laptops that already had XP licenses. It was a bit of a grey area, but it was still better than dealing with the pirating scene / warez scene. And now, I am really enjoying being a total student again learning the ways of Linux.
I think the custom ISO is around the same size as the original because you'd need to remove the components from all the other editions in the WIM, prolly it's just better to just get rid of the others using that dism export-image thing you mentioned for ESD files
for this, you need to delve into WinPE. Even as a sysadmin, I'm not bothering with it. Simply configuring one machine and using it as a clone source with sysprep is faster :>
Important to mention: disabling "Search and Indexing" will leave you with a broken start menu, in the sense that you will not be able to type to look/search for something. Personally, I consider this a huge problem. I always press the windows key and type the name of the applications or settings I'm looking for (I don't even use the mouse), and having that disabled was just terrible for me.
I have search / indexing disabled and I can type in apps that are installed. I use voidtools everything for searching for files elsewhere because it is instant rather than taking hours.
once i DEBLOAT WINDWOS 10 1809 64 bit using winreducer, wintoolkit, debloat scrip my iso size was only 1.3 gb it was only using 550mb ram on first boot & 450 mb after tweaking. only problem windows updates completely broken so you have to install through ntlite which is paid software.
@@fbifido2 drivers , all windows apps , services , features , utilities , fonts , wallpapers , control panel items , languages , keyboard layout , setup files ,codecs and othes things. winreducer is safest and effective i suggest you to use it.

First time I watch a 40 minute installation tutorial of windows for fun. Excellent job, really informative and entertaining, will definitely try this next time I format my computer!
Ive downloaded the 1903 ISO from Microsoft and converted to .wim, but when trying to open on WIM Manager it throws an incorrect parameter error. Any tips?
Integrating Onedrive in FileExplorer is an essential part of Microsoft its business strategy. After MS got in trouble with the authorities for bundling software (I would call it crapware) like Internet Explorer MS decided to tightly integrate such software into the OS to not get in legal trouble yet keep bundling that kind of software as a part of their EEE strategy. Offtopic, good luck with the soundproofing. I suggest towels, oddly it works better than expensive and professional sound-dampening tiles. See the video which I refered you to yesterday. Focus mostly on the corners.
Matt Perkins, the guy that runs the TH-cam channel DIYperks has a couple of really excellent videos on diy soundproofing for content creators. I'm pretty sure his first video used a bunch of towels. He's also got some really cool silent PC builds and other geeky things on his channel that I really liked. Hope this helps!
I removed OneDrive using a popular script. At first it seemed to work but now whenever i'm doing a search I get a message saying that OneDrive is inaccessible. PITA The legal angle is interesting. It implies that we'll see more of this kind of integration in future versions. There's no legal definition of what comprises an operating system, but that follows from there being no technical definition that everyone agrees on. So consumer versions of Windows are open to Microsoft's interpretation. Even my Pro version came with OneDrive and Cortana turned on. Maybe the Enterprise version is free of this stuff but I don't have a license. Linux is looking better as Microsoft gets worse.
@Donald Mickunas I think that towels look better, take the same color as that of the wall and you barely see it if you do it properly. See the TH-camchannel DIYPerks. For sure it will dampen more sound.
So I am using the latest windows build, and when I downloaded the media creation tool it just said "Thank you for using the latest version of windows" and didn't even let me download the iso. I really hate microsoft now.
You can ignore the Media Creation Tool if you change your user agent to an Operating System different to Windows, that way it will let you select an iso to download directly. You can also use software like Heidoc's Windows iso downloader (which uses original MS links) The media creation tool is a hassle.
i get "The parameter is incorrect" when i try to load install.wim in WinToolkit, also, export seems rather unnaturally fast, like couple of seconds, even though file itself is 3.4gb in size. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks for the great content, as always :D * i managed to fix it. If anybody else has same issue, this is the solution that worked for me: dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
I had the same payload error when extracting the ISO with 7Zip. I had the same "parameter is incorrect" error when selecting the WIM. I had the same "Error 11" when trying the command with compression, mentioned in these comments and in that other video. The way I got around this was to use "ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD-7". I'd post a link but TH-cam would automatically block it. This is just a batch script which you can view the source of. Follow these directions to resolve your issue: 1. Search for "abbodi1406's Batch Scripts Repo" and you should find a thread from the MyDigitalLife website. 2. Look through the list of scripts and choose "WIM ESD". 3. Extract the zip you downloaded. 4. Copy the "install.esd" file into the same directory as the "convert.cmd" file extracted from the zip file you extracted. 5. Run "convert.cmd" and input "1", then "Enter". 6. Now type the number of the ESD index you'd like to use, then "Enter". 7. Move the newly created "install.wim" file into the "source" folder of the extracted Windows ISO.
Thank you for further bloat removal hints. I'll try your suggestions, next time I install W10. Some of my further suggestions are as follows. (1) Ethnic language fonts are in Windows folders: ""syswow64" (36 directories, 3.27 MB (3,433,984 bytes)) & "system32" (40 directories, 10.1 MB (10,670,044 bytes)). These two groups can be removed using Linux; PCMAN file manager, etc. On their own, you can ignore them. But they are unnecessary for English-only users like myself. Do keep the "en" & En-gb folers though. There is no need to install Linux. Run a "LIVE" Linux from any USB stick. I suggest PEPPERMINT Linux. When looking for strange "hostile" files in Windows, these ethnic files clutter everything. (2) The other thing I use is to have ALL my windows files & files on NTFS-COMPRESSED partitions. This enables quicker read-write with smaller cluster sizes. The Windows-Home (single language) is 17.5 GB (18,860,185,732 bytes), but stores on the drive as: 11.7 GB (12,644,433,920 bytes). (3) All temporary folders (temp, tmp) are removed from the Windows folder to another temporary folder on the motherboard's SSD. Files in this temporary folder is easy detected & deleted by bleachbit, etc. (4) If possible, avoid using the spinning HDD, if you have electronic drives (SSD, etc). HDD's are slow & rapidly need their storage clusters to be defragmented. (5) My Windows-10 settings are "remembered" now by Microsoft, with my current user name. It knows now that I do not like Candy Crush & other games, & that my settings are for speed & usability. (6) Use the following two TWEAK SOFTWARE to further customize & optimize your Windows. Ultimate Windows Tweaker, & Winaero Tweaker. My hardware & settings: Dell XPS-15 L521x notebook computer. i7, Nvidia, 16 GB DDR3, 4TB HDD, TB SSD. Windows-10 Home, Single Language. Build 18362.19h1_release_svc_19h2_rel.190621-1123. Insider Preview version, slow-release cycle.
When I tried to load the install.wim file in win toolkit after converting it, it gave me a parameter error. Using "dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /CheckIntegrity /Compress:max" I was able to get the file converted properly and loaded in Wim tool kit. The .Ios installed but would fail to boot, loading to a black screen. I only removed "green" componenets. I even tried converting the install.wim back to an ESD, but it had to same outcome. Loads to black screen.
Lol, I noticed you forgot to remove the other ten Windows 10 flavors (I.E Windows 10 Home, N, etc) in the WIM manager. If you do that, it always decreases the size of your overall WIM file.
There's things MPC does that others don't. I can hit the > and jump to the next video in the same folder. Which if I'm too far away from my screen to read, I prefer that. Some players show a *history* of video's you played and give you no option to NOT do that. I've did side by side snapshot comparisons between VLC and CCCP/MPC in the past and VLC wasn't as sharp. Their codec wasn't working as hard to fully render the video. MPC has fewer problems playing incomplete or corrupted videos. VLC often wont play it and depending on the codec VLC will become artifact city just trying to skip through an intact video... VLC's gui is pretty gross as well. Sorry but I do not like other players. They all fall short of MPC.
Here is the video on how to convert the install.esd file! th-cam.com/video/u44hggPLu7w/w-d-xo.html Use:DISM /export-image /sourceimagefile:install.esd /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:install.wim /compress:max
Thank you so much for this video good sir but honestly, it would have been nicer if more explanation is showed/given in the WinToolKit part. I know it's going to be longer but for us viewers who are in between novice and advanced, it would be really worth it. Nonetheless, you did what you can and once again, I'm grateful for it.

I stumbled across this video trying to remove all the crap out of Windows 10, and as your hatred of so many aspects of Windows 10 came through I knew I had found my people and subscribed.
I Buy All My Win10LTSC Keys OnLine & I Love Win10ltsc...NoBloat Ware ,No SpyWare ,& NO Cortanna ! You Cant Talk About Win10 Pro & Not Talk About The SpyWare,Maleware And Stuff Out Of The Box So !! I Have Ran Win10LTSC2019 & Win10LTSB2016 Form Shortly After Thy Came Out & I Love It & I Would Never Run Win 10 Pro On AnyThing That Was Not Maybe A VM !
It's so funny re watching those later (in the future). Linux wil be king of the desktop!! And every 6 months it just isn't or like now Win 11 wil be apparently. But lets hope for 2023 maybe Win 11 machines blow themselves up due to malicious malware letting the TPM chip go rogue. Who knows crazy years. In Other news: The human malware is at version 4.0 and the cybersecurity sector became aware off the advanced threats landscape and increasing "red thread". Others have a more radical prediction and say: Older insecure networks from businesses' and the critical infrastructure will be popular this year. Rumours say "the strong login +password combo known as Admin Admin " has bin leaked ;-) One thing is certain and known with most mainstream people .

This is what I do: C:\ESD>DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.esd Error: 11 An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format! Any idea?! I did download windows 10 from Microsoft so I cannot see why this problem!! Thank you
win 10 is still slower and more bloated than win7.... I tried and I just can't stand it, especially the user interface and customization options... it's really a downgrade from win7, IMO....
We need a new tutorial, but based on one who games, shares files over the network with other PCs, and prints (and possibly uses VMware?) I noticed that removing only some of the print features was actually OK as it allowed me to continue using my epson and its drivers, but no FAX (don't care) or possibly some corporate printing features (not sure what that even is as a home user). As for networking, I assume some of it can be removed and you'll still have the ability to be networked to play LAN (minecraft), or share files with other PCs... just not sure which one's to remove/keep. And Gaming, I assume the rest just gets junked (defender/search/cortana/tiff filter/user assistance etc.... all that bulk). I also have a question. Is it only me, or is this for 100% of Win10 users, that searching for files in the file explorer causes the window to close entirely and you have to search again (usually works after that, but very slow). No matter how many reinstalls, ISOs, different PCs, it's always doing this. What is wrong with M$????
The only good thing about Windows are things like CPU-Z, Hardware Monitor, GPU-Z, MSI Afterburner etc.... The operating system itself is just pathetic.
My pc is stuck at (1/223)Removing:blah...blah...... for more than 10 minutes now. Also after doing this, if I ever update my pc will all of this stuff I removed install itself again?
I must be doing something wrong here, I transfer the .esd to an .wim, when I open the WIM manager with the WinToolKit I always get "Error getting wim info, The parameter is incorrect". Do I need to put the install.wim back in the windows folder before proceeding?
files don't dissapear, they pop back up in the list after removal. So frustrating...Anyone know where to find dism file for windows 10 64bit 1809 version? I suspect my problem has something to do with not having the correct dism file. When I start the program I'm told to download dism for windows 10 and it directs me to a german website with dism files. But it's only x86 not x64 for the 1809 version.
With no active window open or program running 1% utilization is not a big deal. My PC idles around 3-5% without doing any of this, while stuff like Logitech, Comodo, Steam and browser is running in the background. I just remove most of the preinstalled apps manually and use the hosts file from WindowsSpyBlocker. Re: "bunch of feature updates happening all the time" - it's twice a year...
Sorry Right now I don't have time to watch the whole Video, so a quick question: Will this Speed up Windows 10 more than using the Debloat Tool after installation? Does actually removing the component give a speedboast over just disabling the components? Or is this mainly just to have cleaner installation and use less Disk Storage? I'm not on a slow/old System, but I just want to keep RAM and CPU Usage as low as possible. Thank you.
You probably already know this by now, but with Privatezilla, you can clean up *all* the "modern" Apps from Windows 10 (except the Store, or except the default ones, like Mail, Calendar, etc.). I've just used it on a new Windows 10 install in a low-end tablet and the start menu looks beautifully empty xD
I tried doing this, but failed time and again while trying to use Win Toolkit. I make a install_wim file using the instructions in the description, but whenever I try to use it, it says *"parameter incorrect."* I tried on multiple drives, different machines, multiple iso's, I tried 1903 and 1803, I just don't know what's wrong.
Hi Chris i just downloaded the latest Iso image and attempted to strip out the image and run into an issue that has prevented me from going any further. I extract the files and in the sources directory is an ESD file. I run the tool and get from WinTools the following error messge: This seems to be an *.swm file which is read only and not supported by WinToolkit. You need to merge this back into an *.wim file first! End Message: I am unable to go any further and thinking this might be another ploy by Microsoft to disable this process, ..maybe? Or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated great channel by the way, although I struggle very much with Linux regards Kerry
Hi Chris, I like to do it as you have shown in video, prior that I need notepad file which is contains which process we don't need (redundant memory uses) for Home user. I don't want printer, animation, etc suff like this. So can you provide link in below video. It would be helpful for me for reference. Thanks, Vaibhav Athawale
I only see Windows.iso in my Documents folder after downloading. Clicking on it does not show me Win10_1909_V1_English_x64. Why is this happening and what can I do about it?

There is a very real danger that custom versions we don't make ourselves might be dangerous. They might have remote access trojans and other nasty things in them that really don't belong on any computer really.
Chris do you have a 2020 version of this amazing info?
Here you go amigo th-cam.com/video/8E6OT_QcHaU/w-d-xo.html
you have to download it with a spoofed webclient, else you wont get the wim file. The wim conversion doenst work anymore
i see your video with only running 100 prozesses and i cant believe this is really working?? i look at my taskmanager and look on my pc now running 214 prozesses i dont now.....
Hi, again Chris!
I forgot one thing in my earlier comment, From now I admit that you are my Teacher.
So!
Teacher, I am not asking you to make a video for this purpose, you can guide on the web page, And this would be highly meritorious if this is with Pics. -:) Thanks!!!
Chris - Where is the objective (before vs after) proof that stripping out "expendable" Win 10 processes makes for a faster system? On my new Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE / Win 10 Professional system, for example, the OS occupies just 9% of the 512GB system SSD; the remaining space is for apps. A second SSD, 1TB, is ready for my docuents, etc. Before installing ANY apps of my own, I checked: Task manager reports CPU usage at 0% to 1%; GPU loading is at 0%. The system HDD activity LED blinks only once per 5 to 10 seconds. Yes, in principle I don't like even one byte of bloat / spyware. But we can't blame the OS for viruses. etc. contracted by someone downloading from sketchy websites, etc. Anyway, my computer system is mission-critical for producing work. I don't even run an e-mail client on it, and I cannot risk having a stripped-down OS with various loose ends with unknown future side effects.
Chris, when I open the wim file I got an error : "The parameter is incorrect"
This worked for me after getting "The parameter is incorrect". Don't forget to change the value after "/sourceindex:" to the one you want (for me Windows 10 Pro was 6)
I've tried following the powershell steps in the description to create the .wim file. I keep getting incorrect perimeter when I try to open the install.wim file in Win Toolkit.
I'm using a 22h2 iso. Anyone else had this issue / have a resolution?
Same issue...
Same here.
To get an ISO with the WIM file already in it, I recommend visiting the microsoft download site with an IPad user agent. It will then offer you to *directly* download an ISO, instead of the creation tool.
To fake my user agent, I just used the Firefox developer options, with the thing that lets you test responsive websites. Switch to iPad, CTRL+F5, configure and download.
Blackberry works too!
THANKS MAN IT WORKS
Terrible ‘guide’ - full of misinformation, misguidance and contradiction.
Whilst removing bloat may be necessary and/or appealing to some - which is fine - your other actions (which viewers will blindly follow) and comments/opinions throughout (some of which are A: Just plain wrong, and B: Advise against mechanisms intended to keep most users safe) are in fact dangerous and inevitably validates users ‘Windows-bashing’ when they’ve left themselves completely open having turned off every protection mechanism put in place, then simply repeat your misguidance and/or misinformation to others when in fact you have ruined their experience, not Microsoft. smh

If i have esd and i converted it to wim... Do i just pasted it in source or do i also need to delete the esd file in the sources folder. I plan on installing this on my laptop to try to speed up the laptop. Can i also activate Windows with my digital license?
Windows debloater is great I got that from one of your earlier videos. I only use Windows to manage iTunes on my phone and iPad. Everyday home computing I dual boot to Linux Mint.
Using WinToolkit_1.7.0.0, upon opening the official Win10_1909 image and choosing install.wim from the sources folder, in the component remover window, it only show 5 components to uninstall. I carefully choose everything in order following your video. The .wim file is about 4.5 gigs. Can anyone help me with this so I can remove some components for a clean windows 10 pro install? I'm running windows 7 x64. Are there any dependency programs required? Thanks for your help.
Will all the bloatware comeback when there is major update? Example: when up date to 21h2
if anyone gets parameter error try this command to export install.win
"dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity"
Helped me out. Thanks
Thank you for the help your awsome
it´s not working with windows 8.1 there are things we can´t remove.... what might be the problem?
2 security vendors and 2 sandboxes flagged this file as malicious MaxSecure

Which security vendor? That looks frightening.
If you use the Media Creation Tool, it will give you the version of the installer that includes install.esd. If you spoof your Browser User agent to be something other than Windows (like Mac or Linux), it will offer you to download the ISO directly. And the ISO it downloads is the version with Install.wim.
I discovered this after having problems with the powershell DISM conversion process. It would seem to convert/extract just fine, but then when I loaded up Win Toolkit and pointed to the newly created install.wim, it would give me an error of "Parameter is incorrect".
So I went ahead and grabbed the direct download ISO, which coincidentally seems to be the version you are working with. That fixed the issue, and now I am cooking right along. Thanks for the video.

Also why do we need .net framework when we could just go download the latest 4.8? Does 4.8 not encompass all previous .net framework releases?

.NET Framework 3.5 and below is not included in .Net Framework 4.8, hence it is a separate feature option in Windows 10. Older programs mostly use .Net 3.5 and lower
I have been using custom windows since i found about nlite for windows xp. I'm still running windows 10 1709 because i have been lazy to make newer custom, and since i want to remove as much as possible it always takes some time to find out what breaks it.
I use WinReducer for customizing it, it can be used for free but there is also paid version. I have also tried Wintoolkit remover, but WinReducer seems to do much better job at making installation small. My custom .iso is taking about 1.5GB, fresh install taking only about 4GB of space. But that is not really what i would recommend everyone to do, i just want to go for the extreme, and it can break some programs or games from working, and if it breaks something it can be hard to find what removed component breaks it.
Winreducer is the best tool I've tested so far for debloating Windows.
use MSMG toolkit...this wont break things and.....and...you and custom 1903v2 super easy rebuild
Are you a mind reader? I was literally searching for this yesterday. Thankfully I'm subbed to you.
Thanks for the video Chris! I am in agreement with you in regards to LTSC. Even though I have seen guides to building LTSC from eval ISOs and such, I still am a bit suspicious of the tools used for the same reasons you talked about in the videos.
Ltsc is amazing but people aren't going to pay $400 for a license, I don't care what the TH-cam trolls say. Key sites are shady as hell and I will never recommend one. It's why I don't cop out and say just use that.
An aside: I think it is great practice for us IT pros to use tools like WinTools and find "legal" ways to work with stuff like this. Legitimately earn and maintain our cred, so to speak. I remember being proud of myself when I figured out slipstreaming with Windows XP using tools like RyanVM with OEMbios, BTS driverpacks, etc to install Windows XP on OEM laptops that already had XP licenses. It was a bit of a grey area, but it was still better than dealing with the pirating scene / warez scene. And now, I am really enjoying being a total student again learning the ways of Linux.
I keep getting a \BCD error at startup and I can’t get into the recovery either…
QUESTION: If you have to convert install.ESD, do you leave both the ESD and the WIM in the /sources when you recreate the ISO file?
no just leave the wim
Chris... Thank you? Oh... Major Geeks. I haven't been there since 2007 or so.
It actually looks very 2007ish. Love it ❤
I think the custom ISO is around the same size as the original because you'd need to remove the components from all the other editions in the WIM, prolly it's just better to just get rid of the others using that dism export-image thing you mentioned for ESD files
Good
How about a video on how to make a custom image with apps and programs already installed. Like installing windows with VLC, Chrome, Gimp, Steam, etc.
for this, you need to delve into WinPE. Even as a sysadmin, I'm not bothering with it. Simply configuring one machine and using it as a clone source with sysprep is faster :>
keep getting this error when extracting the ESD file An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format
Important to mention: disabling "Search and Indexing" will leave you with a broken start menu, in the sense that you will not be able to type to look/search for something. Personally, I consider this a huge problem. I always press the windows key and type the name of the applications or settings I'm looking for (I don't even use the mouse), and having that disabled was just terrible for me.
I have search / indexing disabled and I can type in apps that are installed. I use voidtools everything for searching for files elsewhere because it is instant rather than taking hours.
Just wondering, are you using Chrome or was it just for purpose of video's sake? :-D
U should do a 2024 version of this video

I converted the .esd -> .wim. But trying to open it with that in the All-In-One integrator the program is saying "The parameter is incorrect."
First time I watch a 40 minute installation tutorial of windows for fun. Excellent job, really informative and entertaining, will definitely try this next time I format my computer!
Ive downloaded the 1903 ISO from Microsoft and converted to .wim, but when trying to open on WIM Manager it throws an incorrect parameter error. Any tips?
same here. trying to mod iso file right now.
Integrating Onedrive in FileExplorer is an essential part of Microsoft its business strategy. After MS got in trouble with the authorities for bundling software (I would call it crapware) like Internet Explorer MS decided to tightly integrate such software into the OS to not get in legal trouble yet keep bundling that kind of software as a part of their EEE strategy.
Offtopic, good luck with the soundproofing. I suggest towels, oddly it works better than expensive and professional sound-dampening tiles. See the video which I refered you to yesterday. Focus mostly on the corners.
Matt Perkins, the guy that runs the TH-cam channel DIYperks has a couple of really excellent videos on diy soundproofing for content creators. I'm pretty sure his first video used a bunch of towels. He's also got some really cool silent PC builds and other geeky things on his channel that I really liked. Hope this helps!
I removed OneDrive using a popular script. At first it seemed to work but now whenever i'm doing a search I get a message saying that OneDrive is inaccessible. PITA
The legal angle is interesting. It implies that we'll see more of this kind of integration in future versions. There's no legal definition of what comprises an operating system, but that follows from there being no technical definition that everyone agrees on. So consumer versions of Windows are open to Microsoft's interpretation. Even my Pro version came with OneDrive and Cortana turned on. Maybe the Enterprise version is free of this stuff but I don't have a license.
Linux is looking better as Microsoft gets worse.
@Donald Mickunas
I think that towels look better, take the same color as that of the wall and you barely see it if you do it properly. See the TH-camchannel DIYPerks. For sure it will dampen more sound.
Oh god, When they removed start up programs from sysconfig and put it in task manager. I am convinced they are not system admins at microsoft.
I am preparing a bunch of Dell Optiplex systems for sale, this may have just made my life a lot easier.
So I am using the latest windows build, and when I downloaded the media creation tool it just said "Thank you for using the latest version of windows" and didn't even let me download the iso. I really hate microsoft now.
You can ignore the Media Creation Tool if you change your user agent to an Operating System different to Windows, that way it will let you select an iso to download directly. You can also use software like Heidoc's Windows iso downloader (which uses original MS links) The media creation tool is a hassle.
Did you entered the matrix yet from the computer behind?
Btw just the logo and intro left I think
i get "The parameter is incorrect" when i try to load install.wim in WinToolkit, also, export seems rather unnaturally fast, like couple of seconds, even though file itself is 3.4gb in size. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks for the great content, as always :D
* i managed to fix it. If anybody else has same issue, this is the solution that worked for me:
dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
I will try it thanks.
I get a warning "There are some data after the end of the payload data"
*Truly a useful video 😊👍👍👍*
I had the same payload error when extracting the ISO with 7Zip. I had the same "parameter is incorrect" error when selecting the WIM. I had the same "Error 11" when trying the command with compression, mentioned in these comments and in that other video. The way I got around this was to use "ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD-7". I'd post a link but TH-cam would automatically block it. This is just a batch script which you can view the source of. Follow these directions to resolve your issue:
1. Search for "abbodi1406's Batch Scripts Repo" and you should find a thread from the MyDigitalLife website.
2. Look through the list of scripts and choose "WIM ESD".
3. Extract the zip you downloaded.
4. Copy the "install.esd" file into the same directory as the "convert.cmd" file extracted from the zip file you extracted.
5. Run "convert.cmd" and input "1", then "Enter".
6. Now type the number of the ESD index you'd like to use, then "Enter".
7. Move the newly created "install.wim" file into the "source" folder of the extracted Windows ISO.
Thank you for further bloat removal hints. I'll try your suggestions, next time I install W10. Some of my further suggestions are as follows.
(1) Ethnic language fonts are in Windows folders: ""syswow64" (36 directories, 3.27 MB (3,433,984 bytes)) & "system32" (40 directories, 10.1 MB (10,670,044 bytes)).
These two groups can be removed using Linux; PCMAN file manager, etc. On their own, you can ignore them. But they are unnecessary for English-only users like myself. Do keep the "en" & En-gb folers though. There is no need to install Linux. Run a "LIVE" Linux from any USB stick. I suggest PEPPERMINT Linux.
When looking for strange "hostile" files in Windows, these ethnic files clutter everything.
(2) The other thing I use is to have ALL my windows files & files on NTFS-COMPRESSED partitions. This enables quicker read-write with smaller cluster sizes. The Windows-Home (single language) is 17.5 GB (18,860,185,732 bytes), but stores on the drive as: 11.7 GB (12,644,433,920 bytes).
(3) All temporary folders (temp, tmp) are removed from the Windows folder to another temporary folder on the motherboard's SSD. Files in this temporary folder is easy detected & deleted by bleachbit, etc.
(4) If possible, avoid using the spinning HDD, if you have electronic drives (SSD, etc). HDD's are slow & rapidly need their storage clusters to be defragmented.
(5) My Windows-10 settings are "remembered" now by Microsoft, with my current user name. It knows now that I do not like Candy Crush & other games, & that my settings are for speed & usability.
(6) Use the following two TWEAK SOFTWARE to further customize & optimize your Windows. Ultimate Windows Tweaker, & Winaero Tweaker.
My hardware & settings: Dell XPS-15 L521x notebook computer. i7, Nvidia, 16 GB DDR3, 4TB HDD, TB SSD. Windows-10 Home, Single Language. Build 18362.19h1_release_svc_19h2_rel.190621-1123. Insider Preview version, slow-release cycle.
How do you disable secure boot?
When I tried to load the install.wim file in win toolkit after converting it, it gave me a parameter error. Using "dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /CheckIntegrity /Compress:max" I was able to get the file converted properly and loaded in Wim tool kit. The .Ios installed but would fail to boot, loading to a black screen. I only removed "green" componenets. I even tried converting the install.wim back to an ESD, but it had to same outcome. Loads to black screen.
Lol, I noticed you forgot to remove the other ten Windows 10 flavors (I.E Windows 10 Home, N, etc) in the WIM manager. If you do that, it always decreases the size of your overall WIM file.
CCCP w/Media Player Classic HC has always been a solid replacement for Windows Media Player.
Sadly an equivalent is not available on Linux.
MPV for the win :)
On Linux, QMPlay2 outclasses other video players imo.
Always used VLC, never had problems with it.
There's things MPC does that others don't. I can hit the > and jump to the next video in the same folder. Which if I'm too far away from my screen to read, I prefer that. Some players show a *history* of video's you played and give you no option to NOT do that.
I've did side by side snapshot comparisons between VLC and CCCP/MPC in the past and VLC wasn't as sharp. Their codec wasn't working as hard to fully render the video.
MPC has fewer problems playing incomplete or corrupted videos. VLC often wont play it and depending on the codec VLC will become artifact city just trying to skip through an intact video...
VLC's gui is pretty gross as well.
Sorry but I do not like other players. They all fall short of MPC.
Here is the video on how to convert the install.esd file! th-cam.com/video/u44hggPLu7w/w-d-xo.html

win 10 is still slower and more bloated than win7.... I tried and I just can't stand it, especially the user interface and customization options... it's really a downgrade from win7, IMO....
We need a new tutorial, but based on one who games, shares files over the network with other PCs, and prints (and possibly uses VMware?)
I noticed that removing only some of the print features was actually OK as it allowed me to continue using my epson and its drivers, but no FAX (don't care) or possibly some corporate printing features (not sure what that even is as a home user). As for networking, I assume some of it can be removed and you'll still have the ability to be networked to play LAN (minecraft), or share files with other PCs... just not sure which one's to remove/keep. And Gaming, I assume the rest just gets junked (defender/search/cortana/tiff filter/user assistance etc.... all that bulk).
I also have a question. Is it only me, or is this for 100% of Win10 users, that searching for files in the file explorer causes the window to close entirely and you have to search again (usually works after that, but very slow). No matter how many reinstalls, ISOs, different PCs, it's always doing this. What is wrong with M$????
The only good thing about Windows are things like CPU-Z, Hardware Monitor, GPU-Z, MSI Afterburner etc.... The operating system itself is just pathetic.
My pc is stuck at (1/223)Removing:blah...blah...... for more than 10 minutes now.
Also after doing this, if I ever update my pc will all of this stuff I removed install itself again?
I must be doing something wrong here, I transfer the .esd to an .wim, when I open the WIM manager with the WinToolKit I always get "Error getting wim info, The parameter is incorrect". Do I need to put the install.wim back in the windows folder before proceeding?
files don't dissapear, they pop back up in the list after removal. So frustrating...Anyone know where to find dism file for windows 10 64bit 1809 version? I suspect my problem has something to do with not having the correct dism file. When I start the program I'm told to download dism for windows 10 and it directs me to a german website with dism files. But it's only x86 not x64 for the 1809 version.
With no active window open or program running 1% utilization is not a big deal. My PC idles around 3-5% without doing any of this, while stuff like Logitech, Comodo, Steam and browser is running in the background. I just remove most of the preinstalled apps manually and use the hosts file from WindowsSpyBlocker. Re: "bunch of feature updates happening all the time" - it's twice a year...
AAARGH !! "The system cannot find the file specified. The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log"
HELP PLEASE. I have tried everything and nothing works. Stuck on automatic repair boot cycle
Sorry Right now I don't have time to watch the whole Video, so a quick question: Will this Speed up Windows 10 more than using the Debloat Tool after installation? Does actually removing the component give a speedboast over just disabling the components? Or is this mainly just to have cleaner installation and use less Disk Storage?
I'm not on a slow/old System, but I just want to keep RAM and CPU Usage as low as possible. Thank you.
You probably already know this by now, but with Privatezilla, you can clean up *all* the "modern" Apps from Windows 10 (except the Store, or except the default ones, like Mail, Calendar, etc.).

Hi Chris
i just downloaded the latest Iso image and attempted to strip out the image and run into an issue that has prevented me from going any further.
I extract the files and in the sources directory is an ESD file. I run the tool and get from WinTools the following error messge:
This seems to be an *.swm file which is read only and not supported by WinToolkit.
You need to merge this back into an *.wim file first!

I am unable to go any further and thinking this might be another ploy by Microsoft to disable this process, ..maybe?
Or am I doing something wrong?
