Any script or commands to remove Microsoft crap are from Windows 8.1?

Check my signature for the script (MSMG ToolKit)

 

MSMG, If I understood correctly the tool should be used on a target windows 8.x iso before actually installing it, or can we still use it's junk removal features on a freshly installed OS.

 

Yes for servicing install.wim and then installing it.

I'm using install_wim_tweak_NET4.6.exe to remove packages

however something weird is happening (Partial Code):

Code:

Set WIMTWEAK=%A%:\Apps\Resources\install_wim_tweak_NET4.6.exe

Echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Echo "IWT Remove Packages/Apps"
Echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /l
Move "packages.txt" "%BUILD%\8.1 Build\8.1 Features\"

"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "VpnPlugin" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "Microsoft-Hyper-V" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "InternetExplorer" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "IE-Troubleshooters" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "Windows-Defender" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "VirtualPC" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "OneDrive" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "Server-Help" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "IIS-WebServer" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "NetFx-Shared" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "OfflineFiles" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "Telnet" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "SnippingTool" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "StickyNotes" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "RemoteFX" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "RemoteDesktop" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c "RemoteAssistance" /r
"%WIMTWEAK%" /p %MOUNT% /c  "Adobe-Flash" /r

It doesn't remove them but does make them available for DISM to remove under /Get-Packages.
Why would it not be removing them?

Oddly it does work for Microsoft-Hyper-V, Server-Help, Adobe-Flash & Windows-Defender

Dont mind Powershell as long as we can find some way to prevent MS from spying on us and using our ISP Bandwidth, how they want. I dont even mind a Post install Remover

 

Well at the moment I have the script and have tested it. However in order to make it work I used a powershell module that I imported in. I want an automated means of deployment for personal use.

I will post what is in working order:

1. Detecting the specific KB that is installed - Done
2. Removing the KB as a result of it being installed - Done
3. Blocking the Specific KB at the end of it - Done
4. Getting it done without having to manually install the Powershell Module - Not done.

I have 2 sides of this:

The first removes after the update has been installed. Along with the flip side that puts the blocker in place right after the install finishes . Even though you make a custom iso in the process.
