Why do people care so much about Windows System File Checker Tool (SFC)? It's outdated, not maintained properly by Microsoft. That's why it shows errors on some original clean images directly from Microsoft. Even if it prompts message about corrupted files, it doesn't mean the files are actually corrupted or need reparation. People shouldn't be concerned about this either, especially when the image has been modified because the SFC tool was never tested/intended to be used on modified images in first place.
I've finished my 21H2 testing. Quite a disappointing OS. Much slower in many respects than 1809. Whatever.. I have several PCs to upgrade that do not have access to a WSUS server and I want to allow .NET and Office updates but block all Windows updates. Is there a way to do this, without having to download dozens of updates one by one?
How about this? How do I fix it?

Did you run the script through start.cmd with 2 clicks? This is mandatory. Do you have the Windows Explorer open in the Toolkit folders? Close the window when integrating, removing and saving images. Were you editing the Toolkit.cmd script while the script was running? This breaks script execution. Keep in mind that when saving modifications to the sceipt at runtime. The image is no longer reliable. Discard, extract the ISO and make changes to the image, from scratch, again. Perhaps this has something to do with the result you presented. Hope this helps you to find the problem. If not, wait for the MSMG. But I'm already advancing that the code was working and it wasn't recently changed in that part related to closing and saving the images.
I did a right click, run administrator, and started the toolkit. I may have kept the toolkit folder opened. I did not edit anything else. I will delete everything and start from scratch.
Hi, how to ruin hours of effort an a perfectly lite running Windows 10 : Go to Update (disabled with MSMG), see there is a Visual Redistributable Package available (I have some games that doesn't work...) and go a bit to fast... On reboot, Microsoft Piece of Edge is there, Login Screen, and all the s**t I removed... It was not only a Visual Update, also some other stuff, like a "Servicing Stack" I hate me
Removing Windows Mixed Reality on Windows 10 18363.2274 makes remote desktop unavailable (black screen after connected), is WMR required for remote desktop?

By chance, is Cortana needed for search in start menu to work?

Likes, on my part, in the interesting questions, are because I don't know about and I also want this answer that may be provided by someone.
@MSMG esddecrypt.exe present in the bin folder is well outdated - it is a version of 2014-11-05. Abbodi does not use Dism++CUI.exe only the recent esddecrypt.exe version of 2019-06-28, present in the esd-decrypter-wimlib-63.7z. Is there any special reason for using Dism++CUI.exe? Or was it just the need of that moment, in which was developed the converting Encrypted ESD code for Toolkit?
