Reduce Windows 8/10/11 Size in HALF with Compact.exe
Tool needed to runas TI
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/advance...
*choosing "c:\*" should be on new clean system to avoid compressing user data if not intended
*if intended runas ur own user [while it runs as TI] without /f switch to save time
*use /f to force recompressing exe files to new format
*impact on performance should go down the more the cmd is closer to bottom
*run from Windows PE to compress used/locked files
Code:
run as admin
*for lowest footprint but have nice cpu
*reduce 300mb more compare to XPRESS4K for each 6gb[?]
compact.exe /c /s /a /i /exe:lzx "C:\*"
*for low footprint and have ok cpu
compact.exe /c /s /a /i /exe:XPRESS4K "C:\*"
run as TI (advancedrun.exe needed)
AdvancedRun.exe /Runas 8 /EXEFilename cmd.exe /CommandLine "/c compact.exe /c /s /a /i "c:\*"" /run
AdvancedRun.exe /Runas 8 /EXEFilename cmd.exe /CommandLine "/c compact.exe /c /s /a /i "c:\windows\*"" /run
AdvancedRun.exe /Runas 8 /EXEFilename cmd.exe /CommandLine "/c compact.exe /c /s /a /i "c:\windows\winsxs\*"" /run
u can also make combination to decrease performance impact by uncompressing exe files just in windows or system32 folders
[for low-end pc and lowest footprint without compromise performance too much]
Code:
compact.exe /c /s /a /i /exe:lzx "C:\*"
AdvancedRun.exe /Runas 8 /EXEFilename cmd.exe /CommandLine "/c compact /U /A c:\windows\*.exe" /run
AdvancedRun.exe /Runas 8 /EXEFilename cmd.exe /CommandLine "/c compact /U /A c:\windows\system32\*.exe" /run
if there still problem uncompress dll files too
