    MSMG, I mean you need to improve the interface so that the user can apply registry tweaks more subtly.

    Hi ,so i made a custom iso removed stuff i wanted ,added updates, made cleanup:ResetBase and next thing i wanna do is remove some "Features".
    Listed those with command:
    Dism /online /Get-Features /Format:Table > %UserProfile%\Desktop\Features.txt
    Those command gave me the list of all "Features" installed on online system.

    What to do to remove for example: "Printing-XPSServices-Features"?
    In registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\
    there are:
    Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XpsDocumentWriter-Opt-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17763.1
    Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XpsDocumentWriter-Opt-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~pl-PL~10.0.17763.1
    Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XPSServices-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17763.1
    Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XPSServices-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~pl-PL~10.0.17763.1

    So the thing is completly removed?
    Also from Turn On/Off Features in Windows.

    I found : DisableFeaturesList.txt and EnableFeaturesList.txt but no "Remove"
    Is it possible with MSMG Toolkit or other way to do it?
    Please tell me.
    Thanks for help.

    From my understanding, removed stuff are reinstalled and activated on the next monthly update... desactived stuff stay desactived...

    Defender is the only thing that comes back when I install a CU. I don't bother removing it anymore, I just disable it on systems where I don't want it.

    You can do those mods using Custom registry and skiping Tweaks menu.

    I add components to the list along with their language packs, as you may have noticed in my first screenshot. Although some may not.

    I'm using the latest builds of Windows 10 and Windows 11, I need as exact a copy of Windows 7 as possible, but I'm hampered by some Windows Defender components, SmartScreen etc, full list below.

    If I remove the components that I have marked, could their removal affect software compatibility?

    Code:
    SecurityCenter
    WindowsErrorReporting
    StepsRecorder
    WindowsFirewall
    ParentalControls
    SmartScreen
    WindowsDefender

    I make builds for myself in this way:

    It may seem too extreme for you... :rolleyes:
    All my software works well. Of course, in order to get a good result, it will take a lot and a long time to test your builds, be prepared for this. After all, it is important for you that your OS serves you reliably. Therefore, do not rush to remove many components at once. Don't try to imitate anyone. Start small. During the testing process, you will understand for yourself what you can delete without violating the functions that are important to you. It is difficult to give an unambiguous answer to your question... For a novice user, I think the capabilities provided by Toolkit Helper should be more than enough.

    MSMG,

    Code:
    hmm for some reason we could not install firefox.

    Code:
    InternetExplorer
    FirstLogonAnimation
    GameExplorer
    SpeechRecognition
    WindowsMediaPlayer
    WindowsPhotoViewer
    WinSAT
    KernelDebugging
    WindowsErrorReporting
    HomeGroup
    MultiPointConnector
    RemoteAssistance
    DeviceLockdown
    EaseOfAccessThemes
    EasyTransfer
    FileHistory
    ManualSetup
    Paint
    SecurityCenter
    StepsRecorder
    SystemRestore
    WindowsBackup
    WindowsFirewall
    Wordpad
    AADBrokerPlugin
    AccountsControl
    OOBENetworkCaptivePortal
    OOBENetworkConnectionFlow
    ParentalControls
    SmartScreen
    WindowsDefender
    WindowsStoreClient
    XboxIdentityProvider
    
    I've only excluded from removal what you recommended, I haven't extended the list any further. There was already a problem with installing Firefox on Windows 10 21h1. I don't know what caused it, either a Windows modification or Firefox itself.

    Even the original image is very buggy, this started after they released Windows 8 and started shoving rubbish into the system.

    Previously, the problem with installing FireFox (using the installer) was discussed here after removing WindowsFirewall, review the topic.
    But I have not experienced such problems, and I do not install this browser into the system using the installer.
    Sometimes I test its portable versions. Otherwise, I haven't noticed any problems after removing WindowsFirewall yet. (I use simplewall as an alternative)

    Windows Firewall and Defender were excluded from removal for testing.
