    Debloated ISO's or Best Ways to Debloat after Install

    So MSMG looks to be the most promising. It's slightly convoluted in going through the process of mounting the image files, removing things, then creating the new image, but it's doable. But I just tried the Chris Titus WinUtil MicroWin tool again too and compared spinning up a new VM, and...

    Debloated ISO's or Best Ways to Debloat after Install

    Interesting. It seemed ok, but i didn't try it in "production" on my own desktop. But booted up a VM with it. I checked out the resources section and there doesn't appear to be a section for Windows 11 yet. And from my search, I couldn't really find any articles on tools to debloat Windows...

    Debloated ISO's or Best Ways to Debloat after Install

    Hi all. For some reason, a previous post I made about installing Windows 11 in a way that's the most debloated is gone now. From what i remember, the best way that was figured out about was downloading whatever version of Windows 11 you wanted through UUPDump, and then using Chris Titus' WinUtil...

Now whenever i plug in my bluetooth adapter, even if i try to install the official adapter...

    Solved Can't Remove Bluetooth Device

    lol. Looks like the main app to use for desktops is Jabra Direct, and it says you need a Jabra Bluetooth or Jabra DECT USB adapter in order to pair with the app. Which i don't have. I think this route is a dead end from the looks of it. I don't know if i should just try uninstalling the...

    Solved Can't Remove Bluetooth Device

    I didn't even realize there was an app to pair them. I'll try installing that and see if I can get it either added and removed or just removed.

    Solved Can't Remove Bluetooth Device

    @xrobwx71 I tried what you said and disabled any service starting with bluetooth, but it's still not able to be removed. There is one service called BluetoothUserService_580f0 that doesn't look like an official service. Plus it's set to start manually and not automatically, and wasn't started...

    Solved Can't Remove Bluetooth Device

    Yes, i performed those steps exactly. It says "Removing device" for 15 seconds or so, then says "Remove failed" every time. Typically it connects right away. But since i started trying to remove it, it just says "Connected" instead of "Connected with audio/music" or something of that nature. So...

    Solved Can't Remove Bluetooth Device

    Hi Everyone. I have a pair of Jabra Elite 3 wireless earbuds that I connect to an ASUS USB-BT500 Bluetooth 5.0 USB adapter that is plugged into my Windows 10 desktop PC. I've connected it so many times before that usually all I have to do is just pull them out of their case and they...

    Solved Issues booting Hiren's Boot CD to Laptop

    Basically, it goes to the boot mode selection (Normal mode vs wimboot, etc). Once i select Normal mode, it flashes to a black screen, then back to the boot selection and just freezes there. And i actually found the solution while tinkering after hearing some suggestions. My laptop is...

    Solved Issues booting Hiren's Boot CD to Laptop

    Hi everyone. I'm not sure exactly what forum section to put this in, but it basically involves trying to boot some bootable ISO's to a laptop and it not working properly. So i have a Dell Precision M3800 that i'm trying to get to boot Hiren's Boot CD with a multiboot installer such as YUMI or...

    Solved New Preloaded HP Laptop, Shift+F10 cmd Prompt MSFT Account Bypass Not Working

    So, it appears for some reason, for my specific model of laptop and a fresh MS Windows ISO, it doesn't have the drivers for the trackpad. I was able to plug in a USB mouse to my laptop and that got it working. Plus Rufus was able to give me options to skip the microsoft account login setup...

    Solved New Preloaded HP Laptop, Shift+F10 cmd Prompt MSFT Account Bypass Not Working

    What's your thought on using Rufus? I've seen it suggested in different places i've checked. But regardless, the fact the trackpad cursor isn't available during a fresh install is what concerns me, along with the keyboard working initially to bring up the command prompt but then not working to...

    Solved New Preloaded HP Laptop, Shift+F10 cmd Prompt MSFT Account Bypass Not Working

    I was actually connected to the internet when i tried opening the command prompt. So just for the heck of it, i grabbed a Windows 11 ISO from microsoft's website to reinstall windows. I put it on a flash drive with a tool called Yumi and booted it up. I made a backup image of the drive with...

    Solved New Preloaded HP Laptop, Shift+F10 cmd Prompt MSFT Account Bypass Not Working

    I've tried putting in a fake account and that didn't seem to work, on top of seeing different places say that it was more than likely patched previously. Yes, i've tried using the Fn key in combination with Shift+F10 and it doesn't seem to have helped. I also didn't realize I had the S-mode...
