FIXED
Language install bug
Windows Auto Update bug
BitLocker Error
KNOWN ISSUES
Starting with 2004 S1.0 and up UAC will only partly be disabled in S versions, as this will render Edge (Chromium) fully functional. This may introduce other bugs, such as the DirectX 9.0 Web setup bug shown here.
This is easily fixed by running the the setup in elevation (administrator mode), so right click the installer and hit "Run as administrator".
If you do not need Edge and don't run into any elevation issues, you may want to fully re-disable UAC. We've provided you with a solution in Workspace.
Default System Sounds remain pre-disabled in ReviOS. Normal audio works as it's supposed to, only the Sounds are disabled.
If the community deems this an unnecessary change - Revision will resort back to the original System Sounds in coming builds.

20th of November 2019
Created by: Revision
Important
A revisit to 1709 based on community feedback. We promised to give you more non-10 MHz releases, so here's one more ;) Windows Update has been removed which means you can only add languages with lpksetup + a language pack. This means much better privacy overall, which is one of our main priorities along with performance and stability.

New
500-1000 MB lighter than previous two builds
Only uses 400-500 MB of RAM - compared to older releases at 600-800 MB
Update integration reworked - resulting in a lighter and more tightly packed-together system overall
Core stability improvements
7zip and Open-Shell are now integrated
Tweaks have been cleaned up + minor improvements
Massive privacy improvements (special thanks to n1kobg)
