I've been 'playing' with MSMGtoolkit for a few weeks to get familiar with it, but now I want to create an install iso for real. Is there a post/posts in this thread which will tell me what to delete from an original Win10 LTSC 2021 iso, so that I can remove Windows defender and as much telemetry as possible. I'm also interested in the offline iso hive tweaks that Freddie-o has posted on this forum, Can someone explain the difference between freddie-o's offline reg tweaks and using MSMGtoolkit Thank's in advance
freddie-o's offline reg tweaks : only does the reg tweaks to disable as much telemetry from offline image as much a user can : {according to me its good to go with} MSMG toolkit : removes actual compoenent packages which are used by M$ for telemetry purpose plus debloat via removing metro apps { windows apps } & inbox apps { system apps } as much as a user can on offline image plus plus add some reg tweaks for well user GUI experience plus enable photoviewer on offline image too via some more registry tweaks. its a complete open source offline image debloater as being scripting code with toolkit inside bin directory executed via nsudo known to run anything with trusted installer rights.
Many thanks for the reply. Can you tell me if it's OK to run both of these programs on an ISO and if so Which should be done first, I'm guessing freddie-o's scripts come after MSMGToolkit.
Does anyone know this code to see if the state is active or not? for updates Code: %DismRoot% /Image:"%~1" /Get-Packages /PackageName:"%%x" | findstr /c:"State : Installed" >nul
yes you can go as per your thought. everything shared on MDL by experts is properly tested & working.
Using MSMG Toolkit V11.3 and following a tutorial. The "remove" menu should have 3 options but I am only seeing 2 options. I am missing the first option "remove window components". I put the program in C:\MSMG - no spaces in pathname. I unzipped my ISO and put it in the DVD directory. Its mounts with no problems. Target ISO: Windows 8.1 Host OS: Windows 7 .NET: V4.8 Thanks for any help!
I need a bit of help. I W10UI'd my regular 19041.1 base to get 19044.1566(usual updates from the update overview). Here's what I removed with MSMG Toolkit: Code: =============================================================================== Remove Internet Components Menu =============================================================================== Edge Chromium Browser =============================================================================== Remove Multimedia Components Menu =============================================================================== First Logon Animation Game Explorer | Needed for: Microsoft Games Speech Recognition | Needed for: Cortana, Ease of Access Windows System Assessment Tool =============================================================================== Remove Privacy Components Menu =============================================================================== Assigned Access Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) Face Recognition Kernel Debugging | Depends on: Windows Error Reporting Location Service Picture Password Pin SignIn Support Unified Telemetry Client (Asimov) | Depends on: Windows Error Reporting WiFi Network Manager (WiFi Sense) Windows Error Reporting Windows Insider Hub =============================================================================== Remove Remoting Components Menu =============================================================================== Home Group MultiPoint Connector Remote Assistance =============================================================================== Remove System Components Menu =============================================================================== Device Lockdown (Embedded Experience) Ease of Access Themes Easy Transfer File History Security Center | Depends on: Windows Defender Steps Recorder Windows Firewall Windows Subsystem For Linux Windows To Go Wordpad =============================================================================== Remove System Apps Menu =============================================================================== Async Text Service Windows Hello Setup Calling Shell App Capture Picker Camera Barcode Scanner Credential Dialog Host Edge Classic Browser Edge Developer Tools Client | Depends on: Edge Classic Browser Eye Control App | Depends on: Windows Mixed Reality File Explorer App Lockscreen App Map Control Narrator QuickStart OneDrive Desktop Client OOBE Network Captive Portal OOBE Network Connection Flow Parental Controls People Bar Quick Assist App Retail Demo Content Setting Sync Skype ORTC Smart Screen Take Test App Windows Defender App Windows Mixed Reality Windows Reader (PDF) | Depends on: Edge Classic Browser Modern External GPU Eject App (XGpuEjectDialog) =============================================================================== Remove Windows Apps Menu =============================================================================== 3D Viewer | Depends on: Windows Mixed Reality Advertising Xaml Alarms & Clock Camera Cortana | Depends on: Speech Recognition Desktop App Installer Feedback Hub Get Help Groove Music Maps | Depends on: Map Control Microsoft Pay Mixed Reality Portal | Depends on: Windows Mixed Reality Films & TV My Office OneNote Paint 3D People | Depends on: People Bar Photos Skype Solitaire Collection | Depends on: Xbox Live Sticky Notes | Depends on: Services Store Engagement Tips Voice Recorder Weather | Depends on: Advertising Xaml Windows Mail | Depends on: Advertising Xaml Your Phone Besides the removed stuff, I have used the hide taskbar shortcuts, disable auto driver updates, disable auto upgrade and enable photo viewer. My issue is that now Win+Shift+S doesn't work for snipping. I have both snipping tool and snip&sketch. The shortcut doesn't do anything. Neither does opening snip&sketch and pressing New. Snipping tool itself works. I've already tried resetting the app itself and after that re-installing it. What am I doing wrong?
What exactly is the difference between integrating updates and integrating WHD update packs? All I can understand is that WHD's are for cumulative or service packs. Do they both accept .msu and .cab formats? I would also like to know what WHD exactly means.
Full Form of WHD : Windows Hotfix Downloader if i am not wrong cuz i think it best suits WHD. I never used WHD but W10UI by abbodi1406 did a flawless job for updating base iso to latest always
Nope... The one noticeable thing is that I don't have snip&sketch in my Settings > System > Notifications & actions section. Apart from that, I'm still clueless.
Also, the actual working snip&sketch on a non-modified install doesn't care if it's "turned on" in notifications&actions. Those are simply notifications about what you've snipped. A.k.a I turned the app off in that section and it still works, so that's apparently not the issue.
Can anyone tell me if there have been any issues with windows update on an MSMGToolkit modified install of LTSC 21H2. I installed sledgehammer update control and the system updated .net and powershell 7 but when it comes to windows system updates they all fail (they download but fail to install). I uninstalled sledgehammer and used the standard Windows update, but they failed there too. Even downloading the file and running manually failed Update: My error, I have managed to create an iso that updates Update: Disregard last update. Updates are still an issue
K, after a bit of slow testing I found which component it was - Capture Picker. And screen sketch would be the actual snip&sketch.
