    You need to use autounattend.xml (autounattend file) to install fully automatically with all OOBE screens skipped.

    For full compatibility with the new CU, the component removal module (ToolKitHelper.exe) must be updated in case you need to remove components.

    Unfortunately, I know of no way to correctly restore just this one component to the installed system after deleting it from the offline image, without affecting the other deleted components.

    Thank you for the registry key.
    I applied the key and rebooted but the function remains disabled.

    Yes, but I can get by just fine with audit mode and registry tweaks, at least while testing or trying out images.
    But this doesn't answer my question. Why are those screens even present at all if the OOBE packages are removed?
    Am I correct in assuming that MSMG doesn't remove OOBE packages unless autounattend.xml selected, regardless of the user chose in "remove" menu?

    Perhaps someone has fixed the registry file on this vcruntime packages for w10 x64.
    Replace HKLM\SOFTWARE to HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE

    Hello! Just found out about MSMG ToolKit. Loving it so far, thank you for making it.
    I have a question about " Removing Windows Components Using Package List". What exactly can you put there? What types of packages does it accept? For example, does it do individual packages from the FOD package? Or would it only accept FOD package as a whole? Or not at all? I wanted to remove search and cortana but didn't saw an option in "Remove Windows Components Menu".
    And another question, can you somehow remove specific files or folder with the MSMG ToolKit? I love that it removes adobe flash player and I'm wondering if I could include some of my own specific stuff.

    You need to call the components by their names, as they are specified in the template for ToolkitHelper, in order to understand each other correctly:
    If these two components are removed:

    OOBENetworkCaptivePortal - Captive Network Portals during OOBE-Phase of Windows | Depends on: CloudExperienceHost
    OOBENetworkConnectionFlow - Connection Flow Network Portals during OOBE-Phase of Windows | Depends on: CloudExperienceHost

    of course, the entire OOBE (CloudExperienceHost) is not being removed, but only these two components.

    As the developer of this tool, @MSMG can provide you with more detailed information on the algorithm of deleting these components using ToolkitHelper.exe.
    And you can also search for "CloudExperienceHost" on the topic, to find details about CloudExperienceHost removal.

    For my part, I always remove both of these components (OOBENetworkCaptivePortal and OOBENetworkConnectionFlow), and use a fully automated installation using autounattend.xml with the Internet connection OFF.

    Thank you very much for the explanation, it makes a lot of sense. Then it would seem that those 2 components aren't responsible for the OOBE on the first logon but it's CloudExperienceHost instead. Good to know

    No, that can't be done with any tool.

    You can put a x64 install.wim into a x86 ISO but not change the install.wim from one arch to another.

    Can you delete a specific folder with MSMG Toolkit? Can you run dism or other commands from the toolkit?
    I want to remove some virtual tablet keyboard stuff that keeps popping up - TabTip.exe in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink

    I'm trying to add windows updates manually. Can someone please attach a guide on which updates I can add manually (specifically referring to W10 LTSC 2021)? The LCU was pretty straightforward to follow along, but for the SSU, I'm kinda lost. I do not see any 21H2 version in the Update Catalog.
