When the error occurs, do check the Toolkit window content and let me know the previous component name which was successful in removal. Will be testing a different approach to remove directories using the RemoveDirectoryW() function which doesn't have MAX_PATH restrictions. Also there's a method to get short pathname using GetShortPathName(), let's see if it solves the issue.
Those are the settings to disable for Windows 10 v1809 to v21H2, it will work for the older builds too though some keys may not be required.
1) Copy the registry file to <Toolkit\Custom\Registry\w10\x64> folder. 2) Select the source using Toolkit. 3) Select the menu [4] Customize -> [7] Import Custom Registry Setting from Registry File 4) Save the source
Without license it may require the internet connection to get it's license activated. The license.xml file found inside the <Display.Driver\NVCPL\5efb955d2acb49ea89ce8df2b4fd49dc_License1.xml" I have added an option to integrate the Nvidia Control Panel App in the Toolkit, it will be available from next version.
why if i want remove again components from lite iso on removal menu i see everything with + so i not see which is previous remove and which is not ? any solution for it ?
@Yanta Please, check these minimum requirements for apps installations. 1) These services must be enabled (not disabled) at the time of installation: Firewall (when existing in the OS and not removed): - mpsdrv (Windows Defender Firewall Authorization Driver) - mpssvc (Windows Defender Firewall) wsappx process that includes two background services: - AppXSvc - ClipSVC - Appinfo 2) Check whether you don't have GPO restrictions for the Store (i.e. when Store is restricted on global level) This global restriction affects on app's UI also. At the same time you can keep Firewall's GPO disabled permanently, only services are needed (start/stop). ------ I name this requirements kind of like "Apps install readiness" This is neccessary only for the time of installation and then might be disabled back (I have two cmd -s for this perpose). (Note: Never disable StateRepository service) Only after that can you start playing with the configuration and figure out what is not working. ***** About DDU : You're really don't need going to Safe Mode. It works nice in regular mode far long time.
does creating a iso with components removed and updating windows still brings back components on windows 10.??
@ingviowarr @MSMG Do you see anything in my original method (here) which would produce the error message I showed earlier (here) in this thread?
@Feartamixg 1) You didn't use Toolkit's update options for OS because your build is already is the most recent version? I used to only LTSC 2019 and integrating updates for ISO is always a must part. Only one correct exception from this rule - if you already have the most rescent build supported by Toolkit. 2) I just can share another info you can think about - a number of nesessary components, when the Store is NOT removed. This info collected by people that use editions newer than LTSC 2019 (i.e. newer than my OS and my experience) Apps: - Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller - Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp - Microsoft.WindowsStore - XboxIdentityProvider - XboxGameCallableUI System Apps: - Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI - MicrosoftWindowsClient.CBS ---------- The reality lies somewhere in the middle. We have to identify necessary workable config when Store is removed and WindowsStoreClient (back-end) retained. I know theory a bit, have some experience / testing in the past (a short period) . That was far earlier than @MSMG splitted the Strore on parts. My notebook is from era before apps (and always had a classic drivers), I used to LTSC and apps were mostly ignored. So we need make a new tests together. And better on newer HW than mine, that have true modern DCH drivers to install.
The first one does not exist on my system. Yep. Clipsvc is always running. It breaks several things if I don't leave it running. Appxsvc I have to disable as it accumulates gigs of evtx and tmpx files in %windir%\Temp when enabled. Store and store back end are removed from image. As are all xbox components. I have no GPO settings that I can find, but I do set a few registry values.. Code: REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v StoreAppsOnTaskbar /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v NoPinningStoreToTaskbar /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v ShowWindowsStoreAppsOnTaskbar /d 2 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v NoUseStoreOpenWith /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v AutoDownload /d 2 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v DisableStoreApps /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v AutoDownload /d 2 /t REG_DWORD /f I wasn't aware of that. The DDU Author recommends drivers be removed in safe mode. I've never had a problem, and I've probably used it a 100 times. But it would definitely save time by not having to boot to safe mode. The only thing I have to change to be able to install/jmodify/remove appx packages is to enable appxsvc then reboot. the nvcpl package installed without issue. All the content is where it's supposed to be except the license file @MSMG suggested that is fine in that it will connect to the internet and activate. That actually doesn't happen. It just throws an error. I will remove the drivers again, including nvcpl and try again, now that @MSMG has shown me where to find the licence xml file.
