    MSMG Toolkit is NOT an activator for MS products.
    It is used to customize images.

    Cheers.

    I'm sorry, but that's hardly a solution.

    Microsoft has ported DirectX 9 Runtime to Store Appx format as a dependency component for Gaming App (Xbox App) for Windows 11 v22H1

    Code:
    Microsoft.DirectXRuntime_9.29.1974.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
    Microsoft.DirectXRuntime_9.29.1974.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
    
    Also there a new dependent component for Gaming App (Xbox App) for Windows 11 v22H1

    Code:
    Microsoft.GamingServices_2.57.3002.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppxBundle
    
    Probably these components may be required for Windows 11 v21H2 too.

    No, it's not a solution to your question. But it is a good practice to let the use of Windows Update aside if it is for personal use.

    I create my Uupdump Isos without the Edgechromium. And, I'm not having problems with this way. I have to test a windows update to know if there is bothering. But it is not worth the effort, if within that practice I am being happy.

    I'm sorry, I expressed myself badly. I'm happy with custom ISO and InPlace upgrade method.

    @MSMG -

    I just need a more compacted Win 10 VHD:
    * For use as a iDevice Backup toolkit which means:

    * Apple iTunes + iCloud and
    * Maybe iMazing

    For making local backups.

    But it needs to be "working" in terms of .NET etc whatever is needed for Apple

    What SECTIONS would SURELY be the safest to remove using MSMG without issue and which might be in GRAY areas?

    Is there a how to for this method?

    How often do you guys do this method?

    Is there a way to "semi script" it so that doing it maybe once in a while is easier to repeat everytime?


    This method is not same as the above mentioned Custom ISO method?

    Please do share links to both methods / pros vs cons?

    Modify your ISO with the Toolkit and then run the ISO on your system and follow the instructions. It's actually pretty easy. I do it whenever the Toolkit is updated to work with the newest ISO's.

    @MSMG When integrating visual c++ runtimes, the toolkit is still looking for v2019 instead of v2022. Renaming the file in the VCRuntime folder lets integration run successfully.

    I haven't tried Apple software's with components removed custom image created with Toolkit.

    You can try removing all but Multimedia, System components and test the image.

    Then you can try removing selected components from Multimedia and System components and see if it works.

    Question for the experts. Why am I not integrating this registry key with toolkit?

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX90nv6nhay5n6a98fnetv7tpk64pp35es\Application]
    "AppUserModelID"="-"
