    Windows RS5 packages are missing theirs cat and mum files,
    so it cant be uninstalled with the unhide package trick

    ManifestEnum can uninstall them anyone had good experience with it ?
    or another useful free tool
    thx

    Missing how?
    most components are merged in Client-Desktop-Required and Client-Features packages
    so they made the task harder :)

    Not likely
    but what make you think ManifestEnum can? it use the same principle of install_wim_tweak

    i actually stopped tracking and removing mum packages since build 15063
    with all shifting and continuous changes, it does not worth the trouble IMHO

    website says it can remove using the manifest but its not stable

    cbsenum is working on install_wim_tweak trick

    so no more modding :(
    maybe Andromeda project would help

    You mean butchering :D.

    Best is to use editions that do not ignore GPOs like Professional, so use Education or Enterprise (LTSB/C)with the neccessary changes to it.

    In opposite to setting the reg entries directly the GPO settings survive even feature upgrades (as said on Edu and Ent, not neccessarily on Pro). LTSB/C is fine here since a CU never changed a single setting here.

    Can only comment on my own experiences and those show that there's a lot of FUD spreaded over the web (mostly by people doing it obviously wrong).

    On the other hand the nasty butchering needs to be redone after each feature update likewise so GPO wins for me.

    I've been experiencing Home edition on one of my home PCs this whole year and I can say I had no major stuff reset on me upgrading to 1803 or 1809. Even most/all of my registry changes survived!
    So that's not something inherent to the upgrade process, but something to do with ms account, sync, tailored experiences / subscribed content (that won't bother again after being properly disabled).
