You're asking about Network Drivers again?
We've already had this conversation, multiple times, I'm not sure why you are asking it again.
But I'll try to be extra thorough in my response, in hopes that you understand my answers.
1 - I HAVE included Wireless Network Adapter Driver in this build, which I don't normally do at all in MPB. In fact I added quite a few things to this build, that I normally wouldn't, because I wanted to be able to share this personal build with TeamOS members who might be interested in trying this build, and make it more globally friendly in it's features. Because I care about TeamOS, and it's members, and sharing, is caring. I didn't have to share this build with TeamOS, I wanted to.
2 - This particular build is MPB (my personal build) in MPB's (made specifically for use on my own computers) I don't include any Network Adapter Drivers, as I have drivers downloaded direct from my Network Adapter's manufacturer that are newer versions, and work better than the one's included in the Windows build. (this not only saves a few hundred MB from installation, but provides me with better working drivers for my hardware) I download all my drivers direct from MFG, I don't use MS's provided drivers for any of my hardware.
3 - BUT The biggest Reason Is, (in 1903, and 1909 Builds especially) I've ran into problems using MS's included Network adapter drivers, especially for WLAN Intel cards in 1903 and 1909 builds, where the adapter stopped working completely, and I had to remove MS's included driver, and download the driver direct from the manufacturer to have my Network Adapter work again.
4 - In my previous few builds, that weren't 1909 or 1903, I did include Network adapter drivers, because they haven't been problematic in my testing in newer versions of Windows (20H1 and newer)
5 - If my builds have Network Adapter drivers removed, I warn people about it in my threads about the missing drivers, so they can be prepared and have their drivers downloaded and copied to the USB installation media before installing Windows on their PC's, and in most threads I explain how they can find the make and model of their Network Adapter, so they can download the correct driver from their Manufacturer, and place it on the media after writing the ISO, before installing the new build on their Machines! (It's not difficult to do)
6 - I hope you understand, that I have my reasons for doing things the way I do, and even you don't agree with them, I would appreciate respect, and understanding, as I've tried to show the same courtesy to Everyone that I've communicated with on TeamOS.
7 - Again, If you are having difficulty finding the make and model of your Network Adapter, and how to download the appropriate drivers, I'm sure there are lots of people on this forum who can give you the guidance needed to do it.
Ok, ok, I wasn't trying to be rude, I just wanted to know if you found some security flaw in drivers we should know about. In my exp, some malware does tcip services change in registry and adds tunnels. I've never had any issues with drivers themselves. Also, I found out permissions on a registry key under which all network connections are listed belongs to null sid (using spybot app). That key was called nsa or something.
I did not mean to upset you and please forgive me if I have.
