Torrent Bridge OS (21996.1) Windows 11 Pro CompactLite (No TPM Required)

[FBConan]

Bridges..
Connecting People..
Connecting Worlds..

Bridge OS..
Connecting Windows.

A CompactLite Build based on the Windows 11 Leak Build 21996.1.
This build can now be thought of as a Bridge between Windows 10,
and what is now the Insider Preview Build of Windows 11.

This build still feels very much like Windows 10, with some GUI and cosmetic changes,
and some mild interface changes, compared to the deeper changes made in the Insider Preview Build
of Windows 11. For those who prefer the accessibility of Windows 10, this is catered for you. I Added
Start Is Back 2.9.15 to the Taskbar, so users can access apps through a classic and familiar start menu,
as well as the new start menu that is now part of Windows 11.

This build is most similar to my 19043.1023 build found here:

3 Themes included, all using the new default Windows 11 skin,
1 static background theme, one Windows 11 Theme with 22 wallpapers on slideshow shuffle,
and one Bridge OS custom theme, with 20 wallpapers featuring bridges on a slideshow shuffle as well.

If you want the clear taskbar, install the TraslucentTB app that's included in the 'Optional' Folder on the Desktop!

Hope you all enjoy the build!

I also want to express my appreciation to the TeamOS members for making me feel special, with the overwhelming feedback you have given me recently, especially in the Uploader of the Month poll. I want you guys to know, that I do invest a lot of time in this, because I'm very passionate about light functional Windows, and it makes me happy that there are members out there like you, who also share an appreciation for the craft. I respect all the uploaders, Admin, and Staff of this site, And know how much effort they give, and how much personal time they sacrifice to provide what they do for us all. All you uploaders, You all ROCK! and you staff, you ain't too bad either!!

ADDITIONAL INFO:
This build cannot receive future OS Features and Updates, and is intended to be that way. Because of this, the OS will remain stable, and the size of it will not grow exponentially like full Windows installs tend to, but remain the same.

To all interested members, thank you for your support, but please be aware that this is a light version of Windows. It does not have every feature in it, many things have been removed to allow it to function with greater performance and less system requirements than Full Windows can offer. If it is missing a feature, or service that you think you need, chances are it was removed intentionally, and can't be brought back. This Windows was designed with most users in mind, which is why it has most essential features and services included. I am trying to make a build that is highly functional, yet still very light as far as resources and HDD space requirements are concerned. You have been warned. Please stop asking for me to add things, fix things, how to change things, or enable things. I'm not going to respond, or start giving tutorials, use Google. I sincerely hope you enjoy these builds, I am very passionate about light Windows, and hope to share a good experience for you. If not, maybe another light version will better suit your needs, or perhaps full Windows is what you require.
________________________________________________________________
**SPECIAL NOTES** (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
You will need to ENABLE the Windows Update Service if you want to install additional language packs, install apps from the MS Store, or to let Windows automatically download and install drivers. It is disabled by default, but there is a shortcut to enable it in the start menu (in the 'tools' folder).

**When adding language packs, Update Service needs to be enabled, and I recommend turning on Metered Connections as well. After packs are downloaded, reboot PC before enabling the newly downloaded packs.

Spoiler: Why This Build?

To address a question already posted, and probably more to come, Why the Dev Leak build of Windows 11? Why not the Insider Preview?

Answer: I am currently working on Insider Preview builds, but these things can take time. I don't want to put a release out that I can't get behind and support, something I wouldn't find joy in building etc. I've already spent many hours, and days working on the Insider release, and it's not close to what I want to provide yet.

I also, really like this leak Build, even more so than the Insider Preview Build, it's a great bridge between the two, and I'm sure there are others out there who appreciate it as well. It gives you some nice perks of Windows 11, without straying off the Windows 10 path too far, the way the Insider build is starting to do. It runs lighter, and can be trimmed down much more than the Insider build as of right now.
