Missing "Microsoft Windows 10 Default Metro Apps Updates Pack for MSMG ToolKit" download link. Any idea when can we get this updated, like for getting the "Skype Preview" to "Skype".
Why is this merged?, i like to keep Cortana and Search but not all those things from Windows Content Delivery Manager ...

I noticed if you remove Telemetry component than once OS is installed i look in "Services" i still see the "Telemetry" service set to Automatic, Telemetry doesn't bother me but was just wondering Is there still some remnants of Telemetry still in the system ?
Hi myself already ask to MSMG once and he talk that have a lot of "things" that user need search and modify itself for example if you remove Biometrics and search in gpedit.msc the item Biometrics still have settings so I anyway disable one by one and in services.msc I anyway also disable it and so on then concluding that user need make changes I never have issues
Is there a way to find out which package is responsible for GameBarPresenceWriter.exe file? It shows up in every game I launch, even though all Xbox-related bloatware, including Xbox-services AppX's, OverlayUI, GameDVR, GameBar, Game-everything else is removed disabled, turned off, just gone. Its a System32 file, so its a System file, without which Event Log complains and SFC ScanNow restores it every single time.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR] "AllowgameDVR"=dword:00000000 Will disable it
I removed all three remaining Xbox apps with MSMG ToolKit and the Store Purchase app after I wrote Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp from the RemoveAppsList_Template.txt file in the RemoveAppsList.txt file. After the first boot the blank tiles remained but I simply unpinned them and resized the menu the way I wanted with the mouse. I also removed Windows Photo Viewer by tiping Microsoft-Windows-PhotoBasic-Package in the RemovePkgsList.txt file inside the Packs folder inside the MSMG ToolKit rar folder and then by choosing the Remove Windows Components Using Package List MSMG ToolKit option. Now, if only I could remove Cortana but keep Search... In order to remove the Store Purchase I ran this elevated Powershell cmdlet within the extracted MSMG ToolKit folder after I mounted the image (with MSMG ToolKit) and before applying it (with MSMG ToolKit): dism /Image:mount\install /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp_1.0.454.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Finally, after that I applied the image, rebuilt it and created the ISO (all with MSMG ToolKit).
Maybe it does, but it does not prevent it from running in the background. I already had that reg tweak as well as several others applied.
I tested with RS2, removed all apps except the store app and used the store to download a free app and it's getting download so no issues in using the store. I will make changes to the ToolKit to separate the Store and Xbox removal, For RS1, if anyone faces problem in using the Store, then let me know. A blank tiles are normal when an app is removed from an offline image, it will get removed after the next boot or else you need to unpin it. Cortana and Search can't be separated so easily, In RS3 the Cortana settings have been shifted to Settings App, let's see if there are any chances to split them.
I have added all the known packages which can be removed but still some packages are merged under some main packages which we need to manually search and remove them.
