In RS2 ms suppress the ability to remove packages that related to telemetry I found a way to remove it manually quiet fast gonna test
Steps how to manually remove telemetry files Telemetry Package List WER UserDataAccess Microsoft-OneCore-AppRuntime-ds [not included in RS2] Microsoft-OneCore-AppRuntime-onecoreuap [need to test might break System] Cortana Search2 [not included in RS2] TroubleShooting UserAccounts [not included in RS2] Defender SenseClient WCN SettingSync [not included in RS2] use SxSExpand to extract the package to folder or cab file and make a list of files and remove it via ps or cmd it should reduce telemetry functions, few files are important for boot the OS like werkernel.sys driver When im finished i will publish cmds or files list change log: ver3.54 removing userdatasvcs with reg.exe
I remove most of those always, including the "asimov" packages. WER was never needed to boot the OS. Some side effects I've had before: *cumulative updates don't install (working on re-signing with offending packages removed) *Click on things and they go to nowhere *MS account support removal will break the start menu *One search2 package refuses to remove, always No GPFs or blue screens though and the OS has always booted. I really don't want to go through and have to do this by hand

For more information, refer to the help for the /PackageName: option. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
it might be cos /PackageName:$PSItem } parameter is not on same row as the rest of the command check the video might help can u check if the cmd is right in dism.log file
I am using the above script, is that wrong ! There is DISM log, I checked now. Will post it Code: 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Info DISM DISM.EXE: <----- Starting Dism.exe session -----> 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Info DISM DISM.EXE: 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Info DISM DISM.EXE: Host machine information: OS Version=10.0.16232, Running architecture=amd64, Number of processors=4 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Error DISM DISM.EXE: Failed validating command line: "C:\Windows\system32\Dism.exe" /ScratchDir:. /image:temp /Remove-Package /PackageName: 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Info DISM DISM.EXE: Image session has been closed. Reboot required=no. 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Info DISM DISM.EXE: 2017-07-04 21:20:15, Info DISM DISM.EXE: <----- Ending Dism.exe session -----> Why is using the "C:\Windows\system32\Dism.exe" error may be because of that ? Would U conform the folder structure DISM folder dism.exe and all dllstemp folder install.wim FullyAutomaticRemovingPackages.ps1 is that correct ?
i think $s var is empty run #Count $s; $s.count to see if there packages might be because running $s = dir .\Windows\servicing\Packages\*.cat -Exclude *en-US*,*en-*Package* in differnt folder do "cd temp" to enter the mounted point folder
Now I am running from temp folder, and running cmd one by one ! as for the $s; $s.count, I am having good number, but the next cmd fails PS C:\adk\temp> reg.exe load HKLM\111 ".\Windows\System32\config\software" Code: reg.exe : ERROR: The file cannot be accessed by the system. At line:1 char:1 + reg.exe load HKLM\111 ".\Windows\System32\config\software" + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (ERROR: The file... by the system.:String) [], RemoteException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
where exactly the DISM folder goes, is the file structure right ! PS C:\adk> dir Directory: C:\adk Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 7/4/2017 8:01 PM Dism d----- 7/4/2017 8:53 PM temp -a---- 7/4/2017 8:53 PM 1348 FullyAutomaticRemovingPackages.ps1 -a---- 7/4/2017 8:06 PM 4256258657 install.wim
if u have different dism version like windows 7 dism version, u will need dism folder with the right version in my case of the video in F:\Dism in ur case in c:\adk\dism and run the cmds from c:\adk
I mount WIM using the dism folder dism.exe which I copied in adk folder, but when running the script from temp folder the dism used is system32 system dism ? is there a conflict between disms ? and when I run the cmd from adk folder: Code: PS C:\adk> $s = dir .\Windows\servicing\Packages\*.cat -Exclude *en-US*,*en-*Package* dir : Cannot find path 'C:\adk\Windows\servicing\Packages' because it does not exist. At line:1 char:6 + $s = dir .\Windows\servicing\Packages\*.cat -Exclude *en-US*,*en-*Pac ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\adk\Windows\servicing\Packages:String) [Get-ChildItem], ItemNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand
there are same, I copied from system32 folder ! I am saying about the dism process, one dism process for mounting and another for running the script ! is it ok to use the system dism for mounting also and eliminating the dism folder step !
