I compared IMCK Disable Windows Update tweak to stock Toolkit Disable Windows Update tweak and I did a lot of tests which gave me many conclusions. Some changes are required to download, update, and run the Microsoft Store App by using the wsreset -i method together with the stock Toolkit's Disable Windows Update tweak. Required components to use Microsoft Store app and apps within it: Code: - Edge Chromium Browser - AAD Broker Plugin - Accounts Control - Windows Store Back-end Client To be able to download, update and run Microsoft Store app and apps within it, these registry values need to be changed: Code: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" "DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations" "1" to "0" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\wuauserv" "Start" "4" to "3" To enable auto updates for Microsoft Store app and apps within it, this registry value need to be changed: Code: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" "AutoDownload" "5" to "4" Windows Update will still be blocked even after making these registry changes. Now we can use "wsreset -i" x2 times and wait 1 min for download and installation process to complete in the background. Other conclusions and issues: - Some Microsoft Store apps require Edge Chromium Browser to be installed, otherwise they won't work. [TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat, SoundCloud, Hulu, etc.] - Some Apps that manage their own updates and require additional permissions end up with error during installation. [Zoom, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, OneNote, Opera Browser, Brave Browser, etc.] - Microsoft Store global search bar results are not working for some reason? (infinite loading) I don't know why. I would appreciate any help in resolving the problem with apps that manage their own updates and require additional permissions because they simply won't download and install. [Zoom, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, OneNote, Opera Browser, Brave Browser] Also why Microsoft Store App global search bar results are not working? Could it be missing component or registry? This both things work flawlessly on the unmodified image.
Edge Chromium Browser ? or edge view ? i think you talking about edge view I remove this ugly Edge Chromium from any computer I use
MS can't leave me ? must putting their s**t in my computer ? I will not install this app's, if that the price
I don't remove it, just because of its use in the SandBox and because of some apps that are dependent on Edge, but as soon as I learn to customize the SandBox and there is a bypass that breaks the EdgeChromium dependency, I also start deleting it again . Hehehehe
Question related to microsoft updates for an example if i removed edge chromium and then installed the image if i used windows update and installed all updates , edge chromium will be installed in the updates without a choice i want to know if there is a work around to not let the stuff i remove from getting installed from windows updates i didn't search around much , thought someone could save me some time thanks in advance
Pl cross check w10 ui by abbodi1406 with dont install edge chromium set to 2 or 1 depending upon your scenario.
will check that but is there a workaround to all apps that we removed to not return , because there are alot of stuff that gets installed with the updates for an example : Remote control , Storage spaces , workspaces center , and i don't know what else so is there a solution to get only the security patches or i'm forced to get all that i understand there is a solution for Edge chromium but what about the others Also thanks for your answer
There is a way, which in my view is solid, to update windows without the crap coming back... 1. Disable Windows Update. 2. And whenever you want to update, you should create your updated custom iso. 3. perform the inplace update. Search for inplace update here on the forum. You will find a lot of content. It is simple. With windows update enabled for builds since 18362, components are reinstated again.
thanks alot for your answer very appreciated , exactly what i wanted to know you are totally right , saved me time and effort
But that's why making your ISO, to do the inplace update, is more interesting. Because you apply the Customizations after the integration of the updates. In the case of using Windows Update, you will always be in doubt if an update has overwritten any settings that you had already customized. I'll be posting the WinPE and WinRE removal progress in my thread, along with the release of an IMCK update with those implements. Then you can test. I'll mention you in the post.
When MSMG Toolkit removes setup files, it also removes the tweak that allows for TPM bypass. Which files are necessary to preserve TPM bypass tweak? Does anyone know whether simple removal of WinRE.wim from mounted image and then resaving of the image (without WinRE.wim present) resuls in any corruption or problems during installation?
What tweak do you say is removed? The Tweak applied by the Toolkit itself is not removed. Another thing... What build are you doing? 22000 still works. for 22621 do not know. I read somewhere that this Bypass no longer works. If it's the Enthousiast tweak. Part of that is removed (a version of a Windows 10 file). But just apply again, I don't know if this relocated file will make any difference since you removed Windows Setup and it will not be possible to perform Inplace Update.
I used tk v13 on windows 11 22621.963 image. For now it seems to work(installs, boots, runs fine).

Rufus can apply some tweaks, such as removal of TPM requirement, but Rufus can only do that if setup files are present. If automatic installation files are removed via MSMG Toolkit's removal feature, then Rufus no longer provides any tweak options upon ISO image examination. The same happens with NTLite. If automatic setup are files removed, options to disable TPM requirement disappears from NTLite's Settings page. Does MSMG Toolkit force Windows 10/11 to accept any WinRE image selected? For example, can I replace Windows 10/11 WinRE with Macrium's WinRE?
There is an option to integrate a custom WinRE. Integrate Menu Integrate Windows Custom Features Menu Custom Windows Recovery Environment You need to put de winre.wim in: .\Custom\RecoveryImage\w10\x64 folder. .\Custom\RecoveryImage\w11\x64 folder.
