    Try this. I believe that your problem should be because of Tweaks.

    Change:

    from disable 4:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f >nul 2>&1
    to 5:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "5" /f >nul 2>&1

    from disable 4:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f >nul 2>&1
    to 5:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "5" /f >nul 2>&1

    keep like this:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WaaSMedicSvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f >nul 2>&1

    from disable 4:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\wuauserv" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f >nul 2>&1
    to Manual 3:
    reg.exe add "HKLM\TK_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\wuauserv" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f >nul 2>&1


    If this does not solve, you have to check the dependencies of the components removed to know if anything was missing.
    Follows attached a zipped file containing ".reg and .cmd".

    Is there any package that we need to remove to install Windows 11 on unsupported systems? Or anything else that we need to do within MSMG Toolkit to make this happen?

    Hello everyone!
    When to expect support for the final version of Windows 11 or is it already in Toolkit 11.8?

    MSMG,

    I have not found any registry keys after removing Windows Defender; SmartScreen; Security Center for Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. I think I need to add these to the registry, as updates for Windows Defender and its components are climbing into the system along with other updates.

    This should solve the problem, at least if you just disable Windows Defender with tweeks, this doesn't happen.

    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MRT" /v "DontOfferThroughWUAU" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MRT" /v "DontReportInfectionInformation" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

    What I meant was that you should think about it and make changes to your code.

    But this is present in the "Disable Windows Defender" Tweak.

    It may be interesting after removing Windows Defender, always do the Tweak application.

    Can this toolkit disable everything in Windows that's not needed for gaming and basic personal use? I don't even want defender/smart screen. Or any built in systems that are doing any real-time tracking, or reporting.

    *Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not simply looking for a "lite" version. Some features I still want like Store and media server. I just want Windows be quiet and save CPU cycles.

    Yes. I completely remove both defender and smartscreen and the deployed image is fine.
    As for the privacy concerns, the toolkit is not really focused on that, although it contains some tweaks.
    You may want to use a third party ap like ShutUp10.

    Cheers.

    Nice! Do you know if these third party apps disable the actual services/systems/programs or simply block network traffic? The main goal is to keep the OS running smooth.

    No, I can't answer that, it all depends on how deep you go.
    I've used some really rigorous methods in the past to stop the spyware, but some of those tweaks broke networking stuff.
    Besides that, I don't think it's possible to absolutely block all telemetry and phone-home stuff.
    But with the ap I suggested you can do a lot and do it without compromising the running OS.

    Cheers.

    I did the same test twice using last toolkit (11.8 + updated files) and win10 19043.1237 and I found some ghosts / leftovers files. The files (+others) marked with red were removed from ISO file.
    When I used 11.7 version of toolkit I didn't got that.

    As reported in my last post, while fixing the issue with long path names, the removal of Apps has been broken.

    Now have fixed the issues including Widgets removal exception error.

    Will be uploading the updated ToolkitHelper.exe and Toolkitscript.cmd, do download and test it.
