Something "old" to report... I've just made a windows 8.1 industry embedded image with the Toolkit 11.8. It works flawless. Integrating features, updates and removing some stuff, converted to ESD and deployed just fine. It's nice to see that such an old OS is still supported by the Toolkit. I sometimes use those images for low spec systems.
I haven't changed anything.

I really appreciate your help and thought it might be a quick fix - but as you've proven, sometimes things can be a little more complicated than you first realise. Shall wait for @MSMG to advise or fix.
Even if it is an offline implementation? It may be that I have not well understood the process, but in the implementation, the registry entries are imported directly to the registry image. So when you install and your windows stay in C:, shortcuts imported in X: will be broken. And from what I understood, that MSMG said, he will put it with a dynamic path (I understand this as being relative path %SystemDrive%\ Ou %SystemROOT%\).
So this is your removed components list, I don't have a system with Intel Graphics to try out the list. You have removed Windows Error Reporting which is required for Kernel Debugging so keep it up. Some old Intel graphics drivers require Internet Explorer's iernonce.dll which the Toolkit retains while removing Internet Explorer and since you have retained Internet Explorer don't know which component removal is creating the error. Will be posting a new version tomorrow, do test if it works.

It may be, but the import procedure through Toolkit is the same in all the features in which there is a need to import some reg. Even for the games (C:\\Program Files\\...), PowerShell (C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7\\pwsh.exe). And, taking this as a basis, whenever there is an import of a tweak involving a program path directly to the registry image, it is "C:\" or "%SystemDrive%\" and "%SystemROOT%"\ to replace "C:\Windows\". I do not know if you did the test, but I had only placed the new suggestion point to in "C:\" and later I edited and put everything in point to "C:\". But there is always someone who is preparing a non-definitive image that will end up testing. I recently made many tests to implement CMD and WSL context menus. And, translation of the context menus of the PowerShell 7.1.4, to Portuguese that worked for 7.1.5 as well. I believe I did right. But as well you said, it may be that I have lost something on the way. Just more things I'm going to learn from his implementations and fixes. I followed the MSMG code itself that is already functional. I followed his lead.
But when we are in a browser, what can happen to the browser's console (element inspector)? My calculator key that opened inbox Calc, after I apply to Tweaks replaced to Win32Calc. And this way will work from any screen in which you are, for those who have the Mutimidia keys on your keyboard. But a direct shortcut button that is not used in other software, to add to Win32Calc universally, is a difficult choice to do.
Okay, I'd thought it was directly on the F12 key. In my Laptop the "Function (FN) + F12 key: in Samsung is "WiFi", in Asus is "Vol Up" and Acer is "Scr Lk". There are many variations.
I didn't know what could be deleted - that's the reason. What can be removed without harm? p.s. If possible, as much as possible.
hi all, can't wate for the next release! as far as I am conserned, the slimmer windows can be made, the better for us all. my update stratagem is as folowes. gennerate a msmg windows iso image, with all components that can be removed, removed. remove all hyper-v features/components via dism. uninstall all windows update services. because windows update is not required. services that are deleted are windows update service windows update-medic service backround transfer service i'm sure i'm missing a few? having to use ntlite to integrate nvda silently to start after install nvda is my screen reader. @MSMG deleteing windows update services, related services and reg keys could be one way of removeing windows update components? also, the new offlines files removal capability would the removal function on windows 10? or is it just windows 11? thanks all! Majid
There is a way for you to view the dependencies. You can enter the menus of the removal categories and take a look at the descriptions of the components. Look for the infos "needed for" and "Depends On". You can also open the "Toolkit.cmd" script (notepad++) and search for these terms. This may vary according to the build used.
@MSMG Thank you for the update, shall begin my testing shortly. Can you let me know what to do with Win32Calc reg files?
@MSMG thanks for the update! added the packages you mentioned after your changelog to another seperate file for later testing. thanks Majid
