    Here are some packages that will ruin Windows Server 2016 TP4 (10586) System (when converted as workstation) if removed:

    Microsoft-Antimalware
    Microsoft-Windows-Background
    Microsoft-OneCore-AppModel
    Microsoft-OneCore-Config-AppRuntime-Windows

    Am just toying with windows 10 enterprise ltsb and just removing windows components at this moment in time ?

    Also no need to do Remove All Metro Apps / Metro Apps Associations? as there is nothing i would
    think it's a cleaner way to do a super
    ltsb as there no codes or software been added compared to other window 10 versions ? plus this doesn't get update too often to other version of windows 10 ?

    Just about done now installing the new OS alot better now and feels alot smoother and faster to other versions i have tested over the months ?

    Only mess with SCRIPT if you know what is GOING ON.

    I still wonder why "Enterprise N" is the recommended version while it takes a GVLK key to Activate while if you use Enterprise S it will Activate with a OEM Key.

    It says at the bottom of my first post why Enterprise N is used. ;)

    Its a pain in the ass... MSMG should batch the apps you want to delete, instead of delete them one by one.

    Should I use NTLite/WinReducer EX-100 before or after MSMG?

    MSMG worked very nicely removing apps ...... With the current MSMG version are their folders, clean up etc. that should be done manually afterwords? What else should be looking at to clean up and enhace the performance of windows 10 before calling it done....ISO

    ....I've been looking for winreducer and me seems to be more complete,because it removes or disables more functions of the win 10 than MSMG... however i do not make a iso with winreducer yet.....o_O

    I've tried Winreducer, seems OK......but I do still intend on using MSMG first, than Winreducer.......all I can do is hope it is doing the changes correctly. Their are a LOT of ADJUSTMENTS that can be made in Winreducer ....... and a LOT of things that can make your windows 10 not function correctly also. One ISO I created, after running it in a VM it did not function like I intended it to, so back to tweaking another ISO until I get it just right. Even after I think I have it right, weeks later I may find something that just doesn't function correctly, so be careful.

    Keep in mind if you modify via Winreducer it will make "sfc /scannow" find corrupted files which cant be fixed.

    The same with MSMG in my experience but if you use dism restore health with the same iso made with MSMG and then sfc /scannow it will fix the errors ;)

    robalm, endbase you seem to be pointing out more steps that should be performed. Could you please list the steps that should be preformed before/during/after you modify an ISO with MSMG or Winreducer.

    I have not found a way to get working "sfc /scannow" using Winreducer.
    I have been playing with MSMG tool, removed all metro apps and most components (not Edge and search and a few more) sfc /scannow runs ok without any error.

    Found it!
    Little OT: I'm with w7 ultimate activated w/ Daz, It's sufficient with Enterprise Ltsb or do I need Kms to activate it?

    Thanks mate
