Windows 10 Minios V201709 Patched

Features

Events and Tasks

Events and Tasks Rainlendar supports both events and tasks which are kept in separate lists. This helps you to keep your life better organized and makes it easier to see what are the upcoming things you need to do. Both events and tasks can be also shown in the calendar window.

Alarms

Get notified in advance before the event is due so that you don't forget your important events. It is also possible to snooze the alarm if you want to get reminded about it later. Events and tasks can also contain multiple alarms.

Localization

Rainlendar has been translated to over 50 different languages so you can use it in your native language. It's also possible to use any language when entering the events and tasks.

Printing

It's possible to print the selected events and tasks either as a list or as a calendar layout. Printing support can be also used to write the events and tasks to a PDF file.

Standard Format

All the data is stored in the standard iCalendar format (RFC2445) which is supported by most calendar applications. This makes it easy to transfer the events and tasks between applications.

Multiple Windows

It is possible to show multiple windows on the desktop. You can e.g. show current and upcoming month calendars or have two separate lists with their own tasks. There are many different kinds of windows to choose from.

Multiplatform

The application works in all major operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. All the data, skins, languages and scripts are the same in all platforms so you can easily migrate between them.

Customization

The look and feel of the calendar can be changed with skins. You can also mix and match the skins together and have as many windows visible as you want. The appearance of the events and tasks can be also changed with customizable categories.

Scripting

The functionality can be extended with Lua scripts. The scripts can change how skins function in various ways. You can even use the scripting to download content from the Internet.

Backups

Your events and settings are automatically backed up every day so even if you lose something you can restore them from the backup files. You can also make manual backups to keep your events safe.

Widgets

Widget addon for the Shadow4 skin brings new functionality into Rainlendar like photo frame, countdown, file viewer, weather and rss feed reader.

Quick Add

Enable the quick add widget for the skin to add events and tasks quickly with a single line of text. You can even definen the recurrence pattern as well as define the category for the events and tasks.

Templates

The event and task editors can be customized with templates. The templates can change the default values when opening the editor. Templates are useful if you want to create certain types of events or e.g. always make public events when saving to an online calendar.

Import/export (Pro)

It’s possible to export the events and tasks in standard iCalendar (*.ics) format and import same kind of files into Rainlendar. With Rainlendar Pro you can also import and export events and tasks in CSV format.

3rd Party Integrations (Pro)

With the Pro version it is possible to synchronize your events and tasks with the following 3rd party calendar services: Google Calendar and Tasks, Office 365 / Outlook.com, CalDAV, Network Shared Calendars. Remember The Milk, Toodledo and MS Outlook (Windows only)

Windows 10 MiniOS v201709 (Patched) remains a niche tool for advanced users who need a portable, lightweight Windows environment on underpowered hardware. However, it is obsolete (no security updates since 2017) and legally gray. For most users, an official Windows 10 LTSC or a Linux distribution (e.g., Puppy Linux, antiX) offers a safer, smaller, and legitimate alternative.

Before we examine the "v201709 patched" iteration, we need to understand the base project. MiniOS is not an official Microsoft product. Instead, it is a custom "Lite" modification of Windows 10, typically based on the Enterprise or LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) editions.

The goal of MiniOS is radical simplicity. The creators use tools like NT Lite to surgically remove components that the average user never touches:

The result is a Windows 10 installation that can boot from a USB 2.0 drive and run comfortably on just 512 MB of RAM. For context, standard Windows 10 requires 4 GB for 64-bit systems.

Windows 10 MiniOS v201709 (patched) is a lightweight, unofficial/minimized build of Windows 10 dating from September 2017 that has been stripped, modified, and often patched by third parties to reduce footprint and remove components. Such builds aim for faster boot, reduced RAM/disk usage, and compatibility with low‑resource hardware. They are not supported by Microsoft, can vary widely in quality and safety, and carry legal, reliability, and security risks.

Microsoft views any "patched" version of Windows 10, including MiniOS, as unauthorized piracy. The "patched" element explicitly circumvents activation (KMS38 or similar). While Microsoft rarely sues individual users, they aggressively issue DMCA takedowns for these ISOs. Furthermore, if you work in a corporate environment, using this OS is a termination-level violation due to audit risks.

Windows 10 MiniOS v201709 Patched refers to a highly modified, unofficial "lite" version of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. Built by the amateur/enthusiast community (often attributed to various "modding" groups or individuals), this specific iteration was released in September 2017.

The objective of this OS build was to strip away the "bloat" of standard Windows 10 to create a lightweight, fast-booting environment specifically tailored for low-end hardware, older machines, or specific use cases like gaming lounges and retro gaming setups.
