Windows 10 - Bloatware Free Edition

Macrium Reflect Installation/Usage Guide [Recommended to use after installing your OS for your OS Imaging Backups]

So I used the MSMG Toolkit thanks to @Mr. Fox for guiding me on how to do this and I removed the following from the ISO:

ISO Built using the MSMG Toolkit v7.6 and latest MSDN June Refresh ISO of Windows 10 Home/Pro Build 15063.413 then integrated the latest Windows cumulative update bringing the build number to 15063.540

Integrated:
.NET Framework 3.5
Integrated KB4034662 & KB4034674 (Build updated to 15063.540)
Integrated Windows 7 Calculator
Integrated DirectX 9
Applied Metro Skin to Windows Photo Viewer

Removed:
- All Metro Apps except Store, Sticky Notes and Xbox (the latter was not removed to retain the proper functionality of the Windows 10 Game Mode)
- 3rd Party App Links
- Connect App
- Maps
- Telemetry
- Skype Video App
- Contact Support
- Cortana
- Windows Embedded Features (removes packages related to Custom Shell, Device Lockdown, Keyboard/Registry Filter)
- Geo Location
- Home Group [Never works and is a headache to share files, just use the regular Windows Sharing with Accounts Permission for each folder]
- Mixed Reality
- Quick Assist App
- Take a Test
- Windows Defender [Heaviest Antivirus in the world, see:
AV-Comparatives: Performance Test - May 2017 ]

This image contains both the Home and Pro Editions of Windows 10 Creators Update (Redstone 2) and activated just fine provided you enter your Windows product key in PC Settings > Updates & Security > Activation > Change Product Key

The ISO also includes the stable RAID Driver v15.2.0.1020 so it will be there on your USB Flash disk once you burn the ISO to the flash disk for easy access for those who want to install Windows 10 on a RAID setup so you can simply point to the USB Flash disk / RAID folder to load the IRST driver so you can be able to see your RAID Array

Windows 10 Creators Update Bloatware Free Edition v5.9

Language Pack CAB Files for Windows 10 Download Links

NOTE: After installing Windows, launch REGEDIT and search for SecHealth then delete all the registry entries to prevent recurring even log view errors pertaining to the removed Windows Defender

How to burn it to your USB Flash Disk? simply download Rufus, then run it as admin, then follow the below settings:



If you don't like what I've removed from this ISO, then feel free to create your own:

Spoiler: How to create your own bloatware free Windows 10 ISO

Windows and Office ISO Download Tool
MSMG ToolKit

Instructions on the correct order on how to do this:

1) Load the source then enter * instead of typing 1 or 2 to select Home or Pro. By entering *, this will load both editions so you can do the removal/integration on both editions at the same time. Then answer YES twice for the questions asked.
2) Integrate the Language pack you want if required [Optional]
3) Integrate all the features you want to add except for DirectX 9.0c and .NET Framework 3.5 using the Integrate Feature Menu.
4) Remove the Windows Apps that you don't want
5) Remove the Components that you don't want followed by Advanced Components
6) Integrate Windows Updates
7) Apply Changes and save to source image, this will perform the Cleanup
8) Re-Mount the Source
9) Add the .NET Framework 3.5 using the Integrate Feature Menu.
10) Integrate Windows Updates
11) Integrate Windows Custom Feature Packs [Optional]
12) Apply Changes and save source
13) Rebuild Source
14) Create the ISO

Don't ask me for any support on how to do this further than the instructions I provided as I am by no means an expert in using this tool. For more help, visit the original thread on MDL Forums: MSMG ToolKit

Note: If you remove the Xbox app, Game Mode won't function properly.

DirectX 9 Redistributable

 

Nice job, bro.

 

thanks, m downloading now. it will be nice privacy and performance upgrade!

 

your Windows will never feel snappier after you try this, it's a whole new experience.

since we removed all Metro apps, you now have no calculator, so here's the Windows 7 one:

• Windows 7 Calculator for Windows 10 Redstone 2

 

@hmscott in response to the rep message you sent me, yes, you should install Windows 10 now that we have this clean version.

don't be scared when you hear Cortana walk you through the initial Windows Welcome screen, that's only her ghost, she's gone, eternally

But do use O&O ShutUp10 to disable the other crap and Windows Automatic Driver updates

 

Thanks man, I will take it as a good indication that Windows 10 management is improving, but it's not ready enough for me quite yet.

When the Windows 10 updates stop interrupting stability it will be the next sign things are almost ready for consumer use.

It would be the final sign to see MS abandon privacy invasion, completely revoking any and all data collection, finally removing all of that code from the consumer release.

That would be the final sign that Windows 10 is ready for adoption.

MS did say that when development was over, they would remove all of the data collection code, and stop telemetry collection.

I've assumed this means that since Microsoft hasn't done this yet, Windows 10 is still under development.

And, Microsoft has been proving Windows 10 is still under development since "Beta" release, creating too many problems for me to want to start messing with it now.

I'm waiting for Windows 10 development to end, and the final Windows 10 customer release is made, then it's time for me to install it, check it out and recommend others do so as well.

 

well here's what j00 can do my friend.

1) Install Windows 10 Creamer's Update bloatware free edition
2) Run O&O Shutup10 and disable Windows Update entirely
3) Regularly check this thread for updates and their manual MSU downloads to choose what YOU want to install after checking the log files of that update:Windows 10 Hotfix Repository

Man, it really does suck that MDL moved to XenForo. This has to be the suckiest forum software available. I don't know why anyone would intentionally do that.

 

I used to visit MDL at least 10 times a day. Now I visit it every other day. It sucks now with Xenforo and very difficult to see stuff. VBulletin FTW

 

If anyone at all believes in this nonsense... Then they should do as this person. And stay there
