Don't forget after .net framework integrate the cu again. Some .net components were updated by this cu. If you don't, you'll be offered the cu again by windows update. Cheers.
Ok, but I just don't understand how can I remove that Defender app you talked about and how can the Parental Controls be related to Windows Defender and how to remove them... Are you sure the Store app won't be broken if I remove the Xbox one? Also, it would be amazing if there was an option to remove the User Account Control, among other things. I don't know if you already answered to me when I asked you why didn't you separated some components/apps and if you did I apologize.
Doesn't make sense. No one else mentioned to integrate Windows Updates again after .Net Framework. Is it better to integrate Windows Updates till last.
hmm would like to ask a question as I do not know what words to use to search for it. I would like to change certain menu settings from default and setup some options in windows so I do not have to do this manually. Do I have to use .bat files or .reg scripts to change these settings then integrate them using the msmg tool? Or is this not possible? Thanks for the work on the program everyone, tested an sample is and it was nice and clean
@MSMG The toolkit v7.1 now stays on "Reading Host OS Information". When previous times it only stayed on that for few seconds. Running Windows 10 Creators Update Build .250 x64. I restarted it few times and restarted my windows and no difference.
Chosse Remove Windows Components->Remove Advanced Components->Windows Defender to remove all packages related toe Defender. The Defender and Parental Controls are not related, I just wrote about both the packages since you mentioned about it in your query. I'm myself have removed all the apps along with Xbox App except the store and it's dependency, the Store is working fine. The manual method of component removal needs more time/testing to create the list of things to do to remove/separate a windows components and so I'm slowly adding the Manual method to the ToolKit by properly testing each component. For GUI version of ToolKit that would be the method I would like to implement for component removal.
Starting with Windows 10 the order has changed or broken, In rare case it may require to integrate the WU at later stage if the CU contains updates for .NET framework components. In RS1 If you Integrate the WU at the later stage then it would restore back the removed components like OneDrive. In RS2 it is not the case, You can add the WU at the later stage and it's working without any issues but who knows what will MS change and again the order may have to be changed too.
@MSMG When I ran those commands to clean up, after building the ISO, it was missing the setup files. So I have to start over again now and won't run those commands anymore
this is what I did..... 1) Integrate the features that I want like DirectX 9.0 and Win7 calculator 2) integrate the latest windows update 3) remove all metro apps except store and xbox 4) remove OS components like Windows Defender, Edge, IE, File Explorer 5) ran the command 6) applied the changes 7) integrated the .NET Framework 3.5 8) applied the changes again 9) then I did the same to the Home Edition as I was going it to the Pro edition first 10) then I create the ISO 11) burn it to a USB Flash Drive, then I noticed the setup files were missing
What setup files you were missing, is it the setup.exe in the root or the sources\setup.exe ? Did you choose the remove Windows Manual Setup feature from Advanced Components? this component is the setup.exe in the root which is required to a in-place upgrade or install within from OS, if these component is removed then you can only install the OS from booting through the Installation Media. You can restore the setup files if in case you had deleted by Integrate Windows Updates->Update Windows Setup Media, this will copy the necessary files from boot.wim, install.wim and winre.wim image to setup DVD folder.
yes stupid me, I removed the manual setup feature that's why I was missing the setup files. Thank you for your patience and awesome support man. Cheers
Update: I even tried this on clean install of Windows 10 Pro Creators Update x64 on VMware and still hangs on "Reading Host OS Information". Why is this suddenly not working now
