tiny11builder
An open-source Windows 11 image slimming tool built with C# and WinUI for its graphical interface. It can remove redundant components during the image build stage to produce smaller, customizable installation images.
Timeline (last 90 days)
tiny11builder is an application built on C# and WinUI, used to generate Windows 11 installation images that are smaller in size and have more controllable components.
tiny11builder removes redundant content at the image build stage rather than subtracting after installation, thereby obtaining a cleaner system base.
Compared with system optimization scripts run on an installed system, image-level trimming is completed before deployment, offering greater controllability and being easier to distribute in bulk.
tiny11builder uses WinUI to build a native graphical interface, so users can select images, configure trimming options, and start the build process without memorizing complex PowerShell parameters.
The core work of tiny11builder is to remove unwanted components by mounting, modifying, and then repackaging Windows image files.
tiny11builder's trimming process includes: first mounting install.wim, deleting unneeded component packages, built-in apps, and policy items, then repackaging into a new install.wim or converting to ESD, and finally writing back to the ISO.
Trimming a Windows system image may affect subsequent updates and the completeness of some features.
Because the naming and dependency relationships of component packages change across different Windows 11 versions, the removal list in the tiny11builder script needs to be updated with each version, which is also the main source of compatibility issues.
