[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1073541, member: 96560"] Since ReviOS is an app that does it's work on top of Windows, instead of an Windows ISO modification tool, I decided to implement it's work manually by Googling each item that is listed in it's change log. The result was good. It resulted in some improvement in loading speed. But there were some items in their change log that I could not replicate because I couldn't find how to do them via Google. Another reason why I decided to do it manually rather than using the ReviOS App is because it requires one to be online while it runs and it also requires one to disable Windows Defender and uninstall Comodo CIS. That combination, I cannot allow. Because I am preparing my Offline Golden Image. I cannot allow any possibility of an attacker inserting his wares at the configuration stage. Because this is the drive image that I will revert to when all mitigations fail. This is not being obsessive, because administrative defenses must be followed, just as technical defenses must be turned on at all times. And the preparation of the golden image is an administrative procedural piece of the whole security plan. Everything ties together, and there must be no flaw. This was a hard learnt lesson. [/QUOTE]
