Yay a continuation of the April screw up. I look forward to more money from pissed off clients...

My only real issue with Windows 10 is that I have to get all of the "stuff" that I never use.
I have been playing around with building images with just about everything removed (MSMG ToolKit) and I can tell you that the stories of "you can't remove that, it breaks Windows" are vastly exaggerated.
It will be interesting to see if this new update actually makes any components less removable, I suspect not.

^ This.
For instance this is mine in Idle state with lots of stuff removed.

On the topic of huge WIM files (and assuming only 2 indexes, home and pro) you can just do this and the files will be well optimized.
(obviously change the path and file names as needed)
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\esd\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\esd\install-optimize.wim
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\esd\install.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\esd\install-optimize.wim
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\esd\boot.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\esd\boot-optimize.wim
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\esd\boot.wim /SourceIndex:2 /DestinationImageFile:c:\esd\boot-optimize.wim

I don't know how many users here got the 17xx update via Windows update from April but I still haven't gotten it and it has been over 4+ months. I think MS should get their act together and send out the update from April to the users who have not received the update instead of talking about the new update for October.

I have tried to run the April? Creaters Update several times and the start menu became completely frozen, broken, and 'crashy' every time I installed it. Even on my Aunt's brand new HP WIN10cu Laptop she just bought, same thing, so it is not something I do that causes it. And no amount of sfcscannow, dism nonsense fixes it. That is just one of a @#$%load of nasty bugs I found in it. They have not even remotely gotten the first CU update out of early beta quality yet, so I sure hope the second one is a massive bug fixing release...but yeah, I doubt that.
I tried using MSMG too, but it made my installs huge, like 28 gigabytes as opposed to the usual 14. So LTSB is the only way I would even consider running Windows 10 at all. This is it after a pretty new install with drivers and commonly used software installed but no extra junk

Even this (LTSB) has a lot of annoying bugs and bloat, like it just refuses to remember default programs and spams me with dialogs about what do you want to open this with (thinking of the picture you see below when I just made it and tried to open it) when I have set default programs and confirmed them repeatedly already. Half the programs I install get locked down so they can't remember their own settings (can't write to their own INI files) by incorrect permissions that I have to go manually fix every damned time. Windows 10 is a hot f#$%^&* mess.

Microsoft: We're not going to give you addition features after the major release of an OS, and will require you to buy a new OS when it comes time.
Customers: BOOO microsoft is evil!

Microsoft: We're going to continue to update our OS more then we ever have before.
