Hi Guys. 1)how is Integrate Windows Updates different from Integrate Windows WHD Updates? 2) If I want to add only updates to the original image, which item should I select [J] - Cleanup the Source Image using [Apply->Cleanup Source Images] menu. or [L] - Apply & Save Changes to Source Images using [Apply->Apply & Save Changes to Source Images] menu.? I need this item only for applying updates. thanks
1) Using Integrate Windows Updates menu gives the control to DISM to choose the order of the updates integration but this won't work as expected due to the way the MS has made the update integration to be more complex. Using Integrate WHD Update Pack menu the Toolkit controls the order of the updates integration. 2) [J] - Cleanup the Source Image using [Apply->Cleanup Source Images] menu removes or compress the superseded components to reduce space but with recent Windows 10 images using this feature causes a ghost SFC error which gets clear once the SFC /SCANNOW is run after the installation. [L] - Apply & Save Changes to Source Images using [Apply->Apply & Save Changes to Source Images menu should be used as a last step to save all the changes made to the image.
Sorry for my disappearance, but besides, I spent the last few weeks recovering 18GB of data I had lost, but I recovered almost everything. So I started working on the "Automated Menu Generator System" and the download scripts for the APPX and the scripts for downloading the CABs, I was also focused on studies on a Data Science Course. I am finishing a PowerShell script to download, update and remove earlier versions of the UWP Apps (but due to the treatment of links, the versions comparison scheme only occurs between the link being checked and the link that was previously checked. If not have the same name, the permanence of some files occur (I'm trying to solve this. I prefer downloading not to be done. Instead of having a scan to exclude these obsolete remnants). And if any obsolete is detected, it already is being removed. Downloads will be via Aria2C. @MSMG, I thought of posting this version of Custom Toolkit in a few more days, along with the UWP Appx download script, but I saw that you had entered and knowing that you could spend a time without returning, since I was finished, I posted in advance because I wanted you to see this work in the menus. Taking advantage of you returned, may be interesting to join the W10 and W11 folders instead of keeping separate by Windows version. In this way, duplicate download is avoided from the same app for W10 and W11. Custom Toolkit works both with separate folders (W10 and W11) and with the United Folders (W10_W11). There is already control of the compatibilities in the Toolkit and Custom Toolkit scripts, I do not see the need to keep the separation by W81, W10 and W11. But there is always the need to save storage space. Heheeheh. I have the question, where do I get the official Langpacks links in this nomenclature that you made available? Or is this nomenclature a customization of yours? Thnks, man! New VirtualCreate_ImageIndexEditions.zip 2022-03-05 (updated with 2022-03-05 @abbodi1406 "uup-converter-wimlib-78") available.
Latest updates supported is: Windows 10 Client v2004 (v10.0.19041.1) & v2004/v20H2/v21H1/v21H2 (v10.0.1904x.1348) and Windows 11 Client v21H2 (v10.0.22000.1/v10.0.22000.318). Read file 'Changelog.txt' in MSMG Toolkit folder.
@MSMG is it possible to install some specific packages like capture picker etc which were nuked while debloating the ISO earlier instead of starting afresh again?
Try this old procedure. Open Powershell as admin. Then paste and execute this command. Code: Get-AppXPackage *CapturePicker* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} Restart the Computer. Hope it works. If this does not work, you may have to create a new ISO and run an InPlace upgrade. Meanwhile, we can wait for other answers to some future need.
It will probably come back with the next monthly cumulative update you install. I made an iso for a friend where I did nuke capture picker and when I asked him if it was working and if he had updated recently, he said yes, it works after an update.
It is funnies that we are removed the inbox app from the image and then the CU put it again right back in the places.
Not aware of such a thing. First of all, make it a habit to NOT use your desktop as storage. It's an extremely bad habit. You have your C:\, D:\, E:\, etc. partitions, you make the folders you need there and store your stuff in them. Here's an example of mine(don't mind the "w" in the folder name, that's for OCD purposes): And it works.
Multiple partitions serve no purpose nowadays really (i've been a systems administrator for over 20 years now). It makes it actually tedious when I need to move user data and they don't remember where they store it. If it's al under their profile folder it's a simple copy. But yeah thanks for the tip. it didn't like the path for some reason and I didn't have time to troubleshoot. Running from C:\MSMG works
