Tiny11builder is an automation utility designed to create customized, bootable Windows installation media. It functions by modifying offline installation images to remove pre-installed applications and non-essential system components, resulting in a reduced storage footprint and a more resource-efficient operating system deployment.
The tool operates by mounting Windows installation images to a temporary directory, where it performs manifest-based package stripping and registry hive injections. These automated processes allow for the removal of specific system components and the disabling of background services and telemetry settings before the final image is sealed and finalized for deployment.
Users can configure the level of system serviceability during the build process, choosing between a standard configuration that supports ongoing updates or a core build that prioritizes disk space savings by disabling maintenance features. The project provides a scripted approach to Windows image customization, enabling the creation of streamlined installation media tailored for environments with limited storage capacity.
