Key FactsAuthor automates Windows 11 reinstalls with XML file

4 days ago · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

The author reinstalls Windows 11 at least five or six times annually, on his PC or for friends.

Schneegans’ Generator created autounattend.xml; the setup selected Windows 11 Pro, disabled express settings, and bypassed requirements checks.

He downloaded a fresh Windows 11 ISO directly from Microsoft and added the XML file to its root using AnyBurn.

After one confirmation, the virtual machine reached the Windows 11 desktop with the user already logged in.

Now, one single XML file does the boring work, and I can get on with everything I actually want my freshly-installed PC for.
— Samarveer, the article's author, describing how a single XML file automates the Windows installation.

Key FactsProxmox Windows 11 VM Can Replace Daily Driver, Report Says

Oct 6, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

Installation required EFI and TPM state drives plus VirtIO; the Red Hat SCSI driver enabled detection of virtual drives.

The author preferred Windows 11 Pro with Remote Desktop because the QEMU console remained too slow despite additional resources.

The author's GTX 1080 enabled 1080p game streaming through GPU passthrough, alongside Blender and Adobe applications.

Anti-cheat games such as Elden Ring: Nightreign and Arc Raiders reportedly refused to start inside the virtual environment.

Remember how I said “most games” run well on this virtualized instance of Windows 11?— Ayush Pande, referring to his earlier claim about Windows 11 VM performance on Proxmox

Key FactsWizTree scans NTFS drives in seconds using the MFT

Oct 2, 2026 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

Windows’ standard method checks directories individually and often needs several minutes for drives containing hundreds of thousands of files.

WizTree instead reads the Master File Table (MFT), which records filenames, sizes, physical locations, and timestamps.

As a result, a scan typically takes only two to three seconds even with millions of files.

SquirrelDisk needed about seven seconds for the C: drive, while WizTree completed the same scan in 0.9 seconds.

Key FactsPowerShell Script Prepares Work Setup at Sign-In

Aug 12, 2026 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

The script opens an SSH session in PowerShell, starts a separate Windows 11 Insider machine in VMware, and loads a specified Chrome work profile with selected websites.

It leaves 15 seconds between SSH and Chrome for password entry, while a one-minute pause between Chrome and VMware allows the pages to load.

For automatic execution at every sign-in, the author plans to set a sign-in trigger in Task Scheduler and have it start PowerShell with the script.

After several test runs, the author reported no errors or application conflicts, although keyboard input is still required for SSH and opening the virtual machine.

Key FactsAuthor Hosts LLMs on an Old Ryzen PC with Proxmox

Aug 8, 2026 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

According to the author, the lightweight Proxmox platform runs directly on the old system, providing KVM, a web interface, and native LXC containers without requiring a premium license purchase.

In an LXC running llama.cpp, he uses the 8GB GTX 1080 and part of the 32GB RAM, with Gemma-4-26B-A4 reaching 14 tokens per second.

Blinko, Open Notebook, Paperless AI, and Karakeep also run as lightweight services in a Docker virtual machine, where he occasionally tests other LXCs.

Before using the system for local AI, he passed the GPU through to a Windows 11 virtual machine as a headless remote gaming server and also temporarily ran OPNsense and a Hackintosh virtual machine.

Key FactsXDA Author Favors Hyper-V Over VirtualBox

Aug 4, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

The author considers Hyper-V more reliable because of its Windows integration and reports conflicts between Windows changes and VirtualBox or VMware.

In the author's assessment, Hyper-V provides better performance and resource management as a type-1 hypervisor, including dynamic memory allocation.

Hyper-V provides features such as checkpoints, clipboard sharing, and automatic display resizing natively, while VirtualBox requires Guest Additions for them.

On Windows 11 Home, a script can reportedly add Hyper-V, although the batch file may take about 30 minutes, show errors, and require a restart afterward.

I prefer reliability over any other feature in a hypervisor.
— Abhishek, author at XDA, discussing why reliability matters in a hypervisor in the Hyper-V vs VirtualBox article.

Key FactsBuilt-in Windows 11 Tool Simplifies Network Packet Capture

Jul 11, 2026 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: xda-developers.com

Windows 11 features pktmon, a built-in utility capable of capturing packets even in complex virtual network setups.

Pktmon operates via command line with administrator privileges and lacks a graphical user interface.

It monitors network traffic across all layers, including virtual switches, Hyper-V, and container networking components.

While not a full Wireshark replacement, pktmon accelerates troubleshooting especially on headless machines and home labs.
