I even ran a number of applications, including Geekbench, Crystaldisk, ShareX, and games like CS: GO, and everything ran without any issues. All the core Windows system tools are available, including PowerShell, CMD, Disk Management, etc. Now, you might be wondering since Windows 10 has been reduced to such a lightweight profile, is it missing features? Well, I extensively tested Tiny10 and everything worked fine without any bugs. We already know Windows 10 comes to a grinding halt, even on a system with 4GB of RAM. And in terms of RAM, you can run Tiny10 on a 32-bit system with just 1GB of RAM, and on a 64-bit system, you can make do with 2GB of RAM, which is nothing short of amazing. On 64-bit systems, Tiny10 takes up to 10GB of disk space.

To reduce the installation size by 17GB is just great. A vanilla Windows 10 system takes up to 22GB of space. I was able to compile a working driver on my old laptop with 2017/2019/2022 and win10 but starting from scratch with VS 2022+win11 cannot be done and I need to get this resolved as I'm behind schedule.For example, if you install Tiny10 on a 32-bit system, it only takes 5.2GB of disk space, which is a breakthrough.

The workaround below only partially works but none of them should be needed. He followed my steps without mistakes as I documented them and he has the same issues. I had a co-worker do a completely fresh install Friday of Win11 Enterprise 21H2 on a new laptop with our default image. I see VCToolsInstallDir is defined but not VCToolsInstallDir_170 so I manually make this set in the EDWK ISO cmd.exe window before invoking devenv.exe and it works.

From there I invoke devenv.exe then the driver.sln. I mount latest EWDK ISO EWDK_ni_release_svc_prod3_22621_230511-2102.iso which is supposed to be 17.1.6 (Recommended) on MSFT link but is actually 17.1.5. I can compile various apps just fine, but the driver does not compile. Only trying to install VS 2022 but added a few other pieces in VS Installer to handle other things we build beside the driver. Created a KMDF driver that compiles and works for ARM64 and for 圆4.
