GPD Win (Windows LTSB)
Year / Release Date: 2017
Version: LTSB Build Build 1607
Developer: custom
Digit capacity: 64bit
Interface language: English + Russian
Tabletka: cured
System requirements: GPD WIN with unlocked Bios
Description: As always, I used “Windows 10 LTSB Enterprise”.
LTSB is a special revision of Windows 10 designed for work in organizations, which means that some of the unnecessary functionality has already been thrown away by Microsoft itself.
Again, to whom is plus, to whom is minus, but LTSB uses the 1607 core, since according to Microsoft itself, it is the most stable.
The system is updated very rarely, which in my opinion is also a huge plus. So.
PHP Code:
Main advantages:
1. Cut unnecessary languages and fonts (the choice is English and Russian).
2. Cut a number of components for work in the corporate domain, as well as Cortana and Internet Explorer.
3. Completely cut out all the "spyware" Microsoft software.
4. Integrated all important updates.
(Presently)
5. Integrated all the latest drivers.
6. Optimize GPD Win performance by 98%. Including custom permissions.
(You will have to finish quite a small part with your hands, but no dances with a tambourine, see below)
7. CAPSLOCK toggles the keyboard layout.
8. Software preinstalled:
The components are Visual C ++, DirectX Jun2010 Redist, PhysX, OpenAL, Google Chrome and 7-Zip.
9. Library for backward compatibility with games DirectX 8 - replaced, to solve problems with the screen rotation. This time, a more stable version is used than was in my Acronis build.
(Checked on Arcanum, Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, Max Payne 2)
10. The installed system weighs 10.2 GB.
(47.5 GB free, fuck yeah)
11. Only 700-800 MB RAM is used when idle.
12. Compared to any Acronis impression, you can install the system without external mice / keyboards, hubs and so on. Their presence, of course, welcome, but you can do without them.
PHP Code:
1. Download the image.
2. Download Rufus Portable from the official website:
https://rufus.akeo.ie/downloads/
3. Using Rufus, write the disk image to a flash drive. (2-3 GB will do)
4. Go to the pre-flashed BIOS and in the “Save and Exit” tab, select “UEFI: Generic Flash Disk”.
5. Further, the installation process is no different from installing the usual Windows, except that you will have fewer questions. The mouse does not work, but using Tab (switches tabs) and arrows - installing the system is not so difficult, try it.
6. You must specify the language and region. In the case of the Russian language, in the first tab, select Russia and click next. If English is needed, then select English accordingly and change the format of the region and the date to Russia (Russia).
7. Next, delete the old disk partitions. Select, in turn, all items from the list, then click delete. When there is only one unpartitioned partition, select it and click next.
8. Everything, wait. Installation lasts about half an hour. During this time, the device will reboot several times and pop-up windows will appear - do not interfere with the installation process. Let crutches do their wonders. At the end just the desktop will appear. Is done. Nearly…
PHP Code:
1. On the desktop, go to the “Tweaks” folder and launch “intel.igp”, then you should wait about 20-30 seconds and a window will appear confirming the addition of the “GPD WinHD” profile. Click OK.
2. Under the caption: “Select a profile”, in the first tab where “Current settings” is, select the added profile “GPD WinHD”.
3. Then in the lower right corner, click “Add”. Confirm.
4. Go back to the desktop. In the lower right corner, right-click on the battery icon.
5. Select “Power Supply”.
6. To the right of the “GPD Win” circuit, click on “Power supply circuit configuration”.
7. Click “Change advanced power settings”.
8. Scroll down to the “Intel® Graphics Power Plan” branch, expand it and change “From Balanced” to “Maximum Performance” in “From Battery”. Apply.
PHP Code:
(Optional) For those using an SD card:
1. Right-click on the start, select “Manager” devices.
2. Open the “Disk drives” branch, click on the “Generic EC2QT SD Card”.
3. In the “Policy” section, select “Optimum performance and confirm”.
(Optional 2.0) For those who lack hardcore:
1. Go back to the desktop, go back to the “Tweaks” folder.
2. Right-click on “1 DisableDefender.bat”, “Run as administrator”, confirm.
3. The same, but with the file “4 EnableBareBones.bat”.
4. If you are accustomed to first read before you do something, instead of blindly pressing the incomprehensible buttons, study the “README.txt” file.
(Optional 3.0) To bring back the good old photos
1. Go to “Default Programs”. (Type right in the start window)
2. For “Photo Viewer”, select “View Windows Photos”.
PHP Code:
Immediately after installation, once, I recommend upgrading, but for the future ...
I can’t predict in advance that installing a future update will not break the system, so be careful.
Store important files on the SD card, if in addition to playing on the device, you also work. Take a copy of the system in Acronis True Image, just in case.
You have been warned. This applies to any custom builds.
In the build itself, I tried to switch updates using settings to “update manually only”, but not the fact that the solutions would be durable.
In my opinion, it is better to configure group policy. How to do it - read the link below:

PHP Code:
You need to change a couple of things:
1. Go to the prepared flash drive, for example, “D: \ sources \ $ OEM $ \ $$ \ Setup \ Scripts”.
2. Open “SetupComplete.cmd” in Notepad and be sure to delete two lines:
regedit /s "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\AfterLogon.txt"
"%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\display.exe" /rotate 270
Otherwise, there is a risk that the system will not even start or will start, but the screen will be rotated.
