Q: What is 'Windows 11 Classic Edition'

A: It is a highly modified Windows 11 OS, designed to represent a simpler time, a reflection of decades ago, before UWP Apps, MS Store, Bi Monthly Updates, diagnostics, reporting, telemetry, driver stores and much more were a part Windows OS. (most similar to my Ultra Lite, or 'barebones' Windows Mods)

This Custom Windows 11 Build was Designed for People who don't want:

MS Account Sign In (including services)
Updates (including services)
MS Store (including services)
Clutter
Bloat
Diagnostics
Reporting
Telemetry
Generic Outdated Network Adapter Drivers
Automatic Driver Downloads
Update Services
Xbox Services

- That being said - This build is Intended, and Recommended for Advanced Users!

It's has the same DNA (specs) as this build:

But has also removed:

MS Account Services
Update Services
Store Services
Xbox Services
Network Adapter Drivers (LAN AND WLAN)
all UWP Apps (Including Defender and MS Store)
and Language Services (because language services are dependent on Update Services!)

➡️ Build Notes:

Because I removed ALL UWP Apps from this build, I recreated the 'Windows Accessories' Start Menu Folder, By installing classic versions of Notepad, Calculator, and MS Paint. The Windows Classic Photo Viewer is set as the default viewer for .jpg, .bmp, and .png files.
HOWEVER! I decided to install the new UWP Notepad App from the Windows 11 22H2 Insider Preview Builds. After running this build without a Notepad App installed, I realized it was going to cause issues.
Even though I wanted NO UWP Apps pre installed, I settled for one, but at the very least, It's an App you normally can't get in Windows 11 21H2, which makes it a very cool mod IMO.
*Correction - I decided to add 2 UWP Apps to this build, as I realized Paint is also really important for a lot of people, so I decided to also install the brand new Windows 11 22H2 Insider Preview Paint App in this Build as well.

➡️ More Info: (Please Read Carefully)

Q: Can I Update This Build?
A: NO!

Q: Can I Print?
A: YES!, but the print spooler service is disabled by default.
To Install a Printer Driver, and Print, you have to Enable it First.
To Enable it, Go to Start Menu, Tools, and click 'Print Spooler On'

Q: Does this include .NET Framework 3.5
A: YES!, it is pre-installed in this build.

Q: Does this include MS Store
A: NO! And you can't add it either! Use another build if you want it!

Q: Does this build support UWP Apps?
A: YES! I left full support for UWP Apps in this build!
You can install UWP Apps without the MS Store! How? Well now.. that is a story for another day..

Q: Does this include Network Adapter Drivers?
A: NO! Please make sure you have yours downloaded, and ready to install before you install this build on your PC.

Q: Can I install a language pack in this build?
A: NO! All Windows update and store services are removed, which also means no additional language pack support!
But I have left all regional keyboards installed! You can change the keyboard layout to meet your locale needs!

Q: Does this have Virtual Memory (A Paging File) Enabled by Default?
A: NO! But for most users, I highly recommend you set one! It will help prevent your Apps from Crashing.
To enable Virtual Memory, Go to the Extras Folder - Enable Virtual Memory, and run 'Virtual Memory Enabler.exe'

The rest is up to you!
Test in a VM to see if this build will suit your needs!

➡️ Installation Instructions:

Use Rufus ONLY to write the ISO to a USB Drive.
Boot from the USB Drive, and Perform a Clean Installation to your desired partition.
Requires 2GB RAM, and 5 GB Storage Space.
Your PC Will Restart once, shortly after installation.

HEY GUYS WAASSSSSUP!
I wanted to show you my results after installing this build in a low spec PC,
So you can have an idea of how light it might run on similar hardware!

I used Rufus to write the ISO to USB (UEFI Boot)
And I installed it on my Acer Swift 1 Laptop
Specs: Intel N5000 CPU - 4 GB RAM - 1080p Display

After Clean Install, 1st Boot, No Drivers Installed

After All Drivers Installed, Activated, Connected to Network / Internet

I noticed several requests for a more stripped down build than my Pro Gamer Builds, This is about as light as I care to go!
Yes, I could go lighter, but No, I won't, as I expect a certain level of functionality from my OS! - Enjoy!

OOOOH! Also, for all the questions 'How come my RAM usage is higher than What's in your screenshots?' Well, Here is your answer!:

Because my screenshots are from the OS being installed in a 2GB RAM Virtual Machine. RAM use in VM will ALWAYS be lower than physical PC installation! But since every PC has different specs, it's easier to compare how light an OS runs in VM, where the test bed is similar. Which is why most of the OS Builder's here, including myself, Prefer to post RAM use results in VM installation. The numbers you get will vary wildly in PC Installation, depending on your PC Specs.

But, that's why this post was created! To show you results in a real, physical PC installation, before, and after drivers have been installed! - CHEERS!

Oh.. and Also, you'll notice square corners before GPU Drivers are installed, and Rounded After.
For those asking? 'Can I get rounded corners back in your builds'? They will be rounded after you install your GPU Drivers.

**Also, for those who are asking about 'Virtual Memory Enabler.exe' App, and why it is detected as malicious by some AV Vendors, I assure you it's clean, the only reason it pops up on some Vendors hit list, is because it has a command to restart your PC after enabling Virtual Memory (paging file) which is a required step to complete the Virtual Memory Setup on your PC.
If you don't want to use it, you can easily enable Virtual Memory without using it. I added it to my builds that don't have Virtual Memory enabled, to make it easier for users to enable it. I was simply trying to be kind, and make things easier for users, no ill intent here. - FBConan.

STAFF EDIT

panomax · May 12, 2022

@FBConan You know I always admire your dedication and efforts! Just curious, why do you want to bring back the old apps? Like Notepad, Calculator, MS Paint, The Windows Classic Photo Viewer. There are lots of better alternatives people may prefer. I may end up by removing those ;-)

I may install this build in one of my laptops and for VMs. Thank you.

Tried your previous 22000.652 build and there was a bug that some icons were not shown properly on desktop and taskbar. Does this build have the same bug ?

NTHT1MD · May 12, 2022

A huge thank you @FBConan

awnil · May 12, 2022

I know there will always be polemics about it, but can Defender be included, or installed after?
If not, what AV can we use? Is Avast as good as it used to be?
Thank you!

kva3c · May 12, 2022

But I have left all regional keyboards installed! You can change the keyboard layout to meet your locale needs!

TNX A LOT

Thank you!

I think you should use Avira Free Security, I've used it for 2 months and feel better than Windows Defender.

Whether or not you use this app is your decision.
These pages will help you make that decision. They explain why many posts here trigger malware indications.
