That's interesting. I was looking for a replacement for Windows Firewall a couple of years ago, since Windows now ignores it for some functions like it does for the hosts file. I tested about a dozen firewall programs and despite Windows ignoring it's own firewall ALL of the ones I tested upload obscene amounts of telemetry data, were as much as 2GB in size, were far more resource hungry (more memory, more CPU and more processes). Some you had to spend more time configuring and training that it became counter productive to use them . Then there are ones that were just front ends to Windows Firewall or no longer supported. For the most part absurdly expensive (I'm in Aus and everything here is expensive). Others, you could not disable auto-updates, and most of them were loaded with advertising and nagging. If you know of something that is far less resource intensive than Windows Firewall, costs the same, is not full of bloat and is not a smoke screen for telemetry collection please share it with us.
You could just download only the files "Toolkit_v11.7.7z" plus the updated "toolkit.cmd" that @MSMG puts together when making some adjustment after the launch of a new version.
Hello, I have been trying to use Windows 10. With your help, now I have a light version, and I am very happy!! Now, I would like to integrate .net Framework 3.5 in Windows 10 ltsc 2019. I went to the download folder for 10.0.17763, but there are two files for x64, one 69.4MB and the other 37.1MB. Which one should I download and integrate? Maybe both? Could someone kindly give me some advice? Sorry for a question from a beginner.
If your processor's architecture is: x86 (32-bit) Download x86; x64 (64-bit) Download amd64; ARM64 (64-bit) Download arm64. I leave the 3 in the folder.
@RaiyvaN How to install your custom toolkit? I have to paste customtoolkit.cmd to official toolkit folder? Or what?
I left a main CustomToolkit post (1st signature link) with all the information. Look at the Spoilers "Notes: How to Start The Custom Toolkit?" and "How The Custom Toolkit Starts?". And, some infos on my signature, just below.
When Cleanup Windows 8.1 image. MSMG 11.7 Still use "Windows 11 ADK（10.0.22000.1）" not "Windows 8.1 DISM", Is that safe?

He also uses a beta version of 7zip, I do trust MSMG enough that he knows what is safe to use. Cheers.
I think he meant "safe" as in "can the 22000 dism do the job on cleaning up a 8.1 wim"? It should be able to do the job, afaik.
@MSMG Any plan add multi-process on SSD drive? Which may save the time. Such as: (1) mounting/editing 2 image inside the install.wim in the same time. (2) After an image is saved, saving another image when unmounting the image. (Saving image doesn't support multi-process, but we shouldn't wait another image unmounted then saving another image).
Hi, any advice on things NOT to remove for Windows Mixed Reality to work, other than the obvious things that state they're requirements for WMR, like Windows Store, etc.? MSMG 17.7 latest + 19041 or 19044 ISO, I get errorcode 15-13 (portal timed out) so it feels like there's something I removed with MSMG that is causing it. If I install untouched Win10 ISO, WMR works fine, so PC hardware is fine.
Hi friend! Killed a lot of time when I encountered this error. Neither here, nor anywhere else could I find a solution.It turned out that WMR crashes when trying to integrate something into the image (error 15-13). Just removing components does not cause any problems. Spoiler: Here is my procedure now: Select source (1 > 1) (also mount boot and recovery images) Remove using RemovePkgsList.txt (3 > 3 > 2) Unpin all Start menu icons (4 > 6) Photo Viewer (4 > 8 > M) Apply changes to image (5 > 2 > Y) Convert WIM to ESD (7 > 1 > E) Make ISO (6 > 1) Spoiler: RemovePkgsList Edge EdgeChromium InternetExplorer WindowsMediaPlayer OneDrive MapControl GameExplorer AdvertisingXaml RetailDemoContent CommunicationsApps PeopleExperienceHost SecureAssessmentBrowser WalletService StorePurchaseApp WindowsStoreClient DesktopAppInstaller ServicesStoreEngagement XboxApp XboxClient XboxGameCallableUI XboxIdentityProvider SkypeApp SkypeORTC 3DViewer Alarms BingWeather Calculator Camera Cortana FeedbackHub GetHelp Getstarted Maps MixedRealityPortal OfficeHub OfficeOneNote Paint3D People Photos ScreenSketch SolitaireCollection SoundRecorder StickyNotes VP9VideoExtensions WebMediaExtensions HEIFImageExtension WebpImageExtension YourPhone ZuneMusic ZuneVideo
I've been having this issue for a while and its been buggin me so much. I'll give this a go and see what happens. Does integrating via dism manually also cause the error?
You are a life saver, my friend! I am grateful for the time you took to write that up and share your experience. MSMG is an amazing tool I've been using and recommending for years. But after spending 5-6 hours trying different combinations of component removals to try to clear up the 15-13 error, the idea of giving up and running unmodified Windows 10 just to have a working WMR felt like the idea of putting on a pair of dirty underwear.
