Version 1.1.1-24H2 https://github.com/kurtbahartr/windows-configs/releases/tag/v1.1.1-24H2

Warning

Windows Defender no longer detects the ISOs in the releases as a trojan, Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml. I assume it has to do with a minor update to Defender, but we may never know for sure.

Read the main repo readme for more info.

Fixes

  • Add HVCIMATRequired in Device Guard policies as done by the "Turn On Virtualization Based Security" group policy.
  • Add EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity key in CurrentControlSet also.

Note

Let's talk about the version string while I've got you here for a bit.

The version string basically identifies which iteration of this project you're running, and uses the Semantic Versioning standard to determine which is which.

For instance, this release is 1.1.1, where this is the 1st patch release of the 1st minor release of the 1st major release.

What this means is that there was an update released after 1.0.0 that adds functionality (or even rewrites the whole thing for that matter) while keeping backwards compatibility, meaning you can add the new features and fixes on your system without a reinstall.

And this is the first patch version over 1.1.0, whcih fixes bugs in a backwards-compatible manner, meaning that you can apply the said patch on your system without going for a reinstall.

On top of the Semantic Versioning standard is what I'd like to call "based-on string". This one basically indicates which build of Windows it was built upon and you're recommended to use this on.

This release has the string "24H2", which means you have to use a Windows version on build "24H2". It's Windows 11 that has a 24H2 build. Had there been a build of Windows 11 named "25H2", I would put "25H2" instead.

Version 1.1.0-24H2 https://github.com/kurtbahartr/windows-configs/releases/tag/v1.1.0-24H2

Warning

Starting this release, Windows Defender WILL detect the ISOs in the releases as a trojan, Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml.

THIS IS A FALSE POSITIVE AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE ISO CONTAINS THE sources FOLDER TO MIMIC WINDOWS ISO LAYOUT!

I know it doesn't have to do with anything else because I also scanned a faulty package of the same ISO where the $OEM$ folder is on the root instead of its parent, the sources folder, and no detections were raised.

Should you have any concerns, I STRONGLY advice you to;

  1. Do some research about the specific detection: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
  2. Check the contents of the ISO,
  3. Check the code of this repo, INCLUDING THE CODE FOR THE GITHUB WORKFLOW,
  4. Upload the ISO to VirusTotal,
  5. Stop using releases further than 1.0 and just take what you need in general.

Features

  • Introduce a way to replace the taskbar pins with the use of a combo of registry and $OEM$ folder.
    • This will replace the pins with the layout from Windows 11 RTM.
  • Add constant license owner info for authorship. This can easily be changed within the answer file.
  • Add fallback UI language.
  • Install the latest generic Intel WiFi and Bluetooth drivers.
    • This repo doesn't contain binaries on its own. It's the ISO in the releases that will contain them and you can always copy your own into the sources\$OEM$ folder and modify the dropped script within the answer file.

Changes

  • Remake the answer file in Windows System Image Manager.
  • Change temporary hostname to ST-DENIS-TEMP.
  • Change the default keyboard layouts for a more consistent Canadian locale experience. The new layout is now;
    • Canadian French (en-CA)
    • US (en-CA)
    • Turkish Q (tr-TR)
  • Debloat the Start pins even further and add Word-Excel-PowerPoint in the list of apps to pin.
    • Word-Excel-PowerPoint pins will work only if you preinstall Office 365 desktop suite.

Fixes

  • Fix the command to install Unigram in Winget bundle.

Version 1.0.0-24H2 https://github.com/kurtbahartr/windows-configs/releases/tag/v1.0.0-24H2

  • Initial release based on Windows 11, version 24H2.
