MSMG ToolKit

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.

 

With the latest Toolkit.cmd an ToolkitHelper.exe, its fixed. Thx you

 

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.

 

@Supern00b, can you share your final list for Windows 7 Experience?

@MSMG

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.

Spoiler: screenshots

 

@MSMG
Has something recently changed that would cause the image sizes to drastically increase in size?

Using the same 19043.1237 images, these are the changes I have seen:-
x86 image has increased from around 2.3GB to around 2.9GB
x64 image has increased from around 3.3GB to around 4.1GB.

Could be either the updated Toolkit.cmd or ToolKitHelper.exe? Is it possible to upload a previous version of ToolKitHelper.exe to test?

Will it also work with 19043.1237? I am sceptical about deploying preview builds on machines.

 

Highlighted in red, how to delete it? What kind of application or component is it.

 

Hi @kosta26

How did you do to remove the Apps Suggest from Start Menu..??

for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%k in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "DisplayVersion" ^| find "REG_SZ"') do (set HostDisplayVersion=%%k)

DisplayVersion not exist for leq build 18363. Only CurrentVersion, but return "6.3" value.

for hostlanguage could be...

from dism
for /f "tokens=6 delims= " %%o in ('DISM /Online /English /Get-Intl ^| findstr /i /C:"Default system UI language"') do (set HostLanguage=%%o)

to reg query too
for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%o in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CommonGlobUserSettings\Control Panel\International" /v "LocaleName" ^| find "REG_SZ"') do (set "HostLanguage=%%o")

if %ImageEditionCount% equ 0 (
   echo.No N Edition was found. And, Non-N Editions are not supported.
   echo.
   goto :Stop

In :ExportMetroAppsAssociation session
Both "goto :Stop" are breaking the loop to other indexes.

Just removing both "goto :Stop", the code runs correctly, when there is no Metro Apps Association it follows to the next index correctly. I think this can be helpful when we work with an image with personalized indexes in different ways.

Replace all
from
selectedSourceOS
to
SelectedSourceOS

Considering that this is determined at the beginning of the code and is unchanging.
Maybe all should be replaced from
!DefaultIndexNo!
to
%DefaultIndexNo%
to
