Just a simple guy. Very good! Good thing you didn't have the problem I had a few weeks ago. Much better that way.
God I hate Microsoft My son just emailed me. Minecraft now requires a microsoft account and access to the store, both of which I removed from the image installed on his PC. I suspect they don't give a damn about Minecraft they are just progressing their tirade to take control of People's PC by forcing them to use intrusive MS Accounts ughh! An end to any form of privacy or ownership of his own PC... I feel ill just thinking about it </endrant> Is there anyway around the MS Account and store requirements? Am I going to have reuild an image with MS Accounts and Store in it? (shudder)
Now another question. Inside the install.wim is the XML file. Can I manually change the DISPLAYNAME and DISPLAYDESCRIPTION or is it necessary to use the toolkit? And is there a way to change Modified date and/or created date after creating the updated install.wim, because after updating it still show 04.09.2022!
I know you can just download the Minecraft Launcher for Windows 7/8 on Minecrafts website avoiding the Microsoft store, but then I don't know if you can login into the launcher
This strategy of forcibly logging in the games, with the MS account not something new. Remember GFW Games for Windows Live? I remember when it started and I was pissed off. My choice was to avoid these games and in the end I ended up leaving my gamer taste aside. But I ended up feeding my taste for retro gaming. There were also some alternatives at the time... But both official alternatives (as suggested) and parallel alternatives tend to be discontinued. This is present in everything these days. Android and iOS do not escape this. The only security method for your privacy is to maintain things that should not reach the cloud in disconnected storage. And, to be subject to the fact that we have to evaluate and consider what data we will have to allow and deal with, due to their dissemination to the public and, therefore, to be ok with these permissions.
You can. But check all the index before, to know what you are going to do in each of them. You can make the image with Toolkit, and do the manual procedures you want. I recommend doing these procedures just before using the Apply Menu to save changes. Once you finish the manual changes, close the editors you used and close Windows Explorer to avoid "denied access" when you continue to unmount and save changes through Toolkit. Just be careful with changes and test before in daily use.
MSMG Updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable - 14.34.31823.3 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...untimes-2022-09-15.76588/page-36#post-1754880
@MSMG, hello well this afternoon I did one work using Toolkit V12.6 and using an LTSC version of Windows 10 everything went without problems and the work was finished satisfactorily, however some things I found strange, for example normally when converting to ESD the process is long and it took approximately ~ an hour and thirty minutes to finish the work and I took care of other tasks and as I said above everything went without errors and I made my iso. 2. now note I decided to use again the same version of the Toolkit but using another version of Windows also LTSC but just out of curiosity I turned off the Internet and did my work normally but this time the conversion process to ESD took ~30 minutes ie a brutal difference what could it be? sorry to take your time but I would really like to know about a rather unusual detail thank you one more time Master
The Mojang (java) version has been merged with the Microsoft version. There appears to be no way around this. Once you have a Microsoft account you are totally screwed privacy wise. Loads of personal information is uploaded. Microsoft do only what profits them, never what is useful to customers. My sons are never going to stop gaming. A shame really as they have their whole lives to live and they would rather sit in from of a PC instead of getting out playing sport, socializing with people and seeing the world (whats left of it). Brainwashed and mind controlled Well, their PCs are not connected to my network anymore so I guess I should just stop trying to protect them. Problem is bad choices affect more than just them. I also boycott games that need MS Accounts, are online only or require the use of launchers, and especially root kits like vanguard. So I stay away from battle.net, steam, epic, valorant, origin etc. Just stick with the retro games. They are more fun anyway. I guess I better start building an image with Microsoft accounts and store integrated..
Teach them how to make their own isos. And make it clear so that they only do differently, in removing the components. Make it clear that keeping the tweaks you consider suitable for security and privacy is of fundamental importance regarding the gamer use they make.
Whilst a good idea, that would be like tring to teach a dog with no legs to scale the empire state building. The boys don't care about privacy or online safety. They believe everything big tech, the government and MSM tell them. They would never bother. Always too busy with watching drivel on TV or BS movies to be bothered with making ISOs. They were living here until recently so when I built an image it went on all PCs. Whilst I care and want to protect them, really it's now their choice and it's time this mum let go.
This situation that you commented, I understand how it is. It is the life of this generation has an ingenuity that lasts a lot and maturity that never arrives.
Tiger did you forget I made a request to MSMG to include abbodi's ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD-wimlib utility? He did include it and it is working great. Cheers.
From original ISO I select only one edition(Win 10 Professional) and remove some components. 1. Is it safe to answer 'Y' on question "Do you want cleanup Image folder"? (I ask because on some youtube tutorial hear opinion that function may not work correct...) 2. This function("Do you want cleanup Image folder") delete all unselected editions before making result image, and the final image will contain only one edition(Win 10 Pro)? 3. If I answer 'N' on question "Do you want cleanup Image folder" - final image contains all editions, despite allow to install only one(Win 10 Pro)?
How long usually after the release of the official Windows image(September Update and etc), an updated version of MSMG Toolkit appears?
12.6.7 says it's compatible with all versions, so I don't think we need to wait for an update? Windows 11 v21H2/v22H2 (All Editions)
