@MSMG I reported a bug in the toolkit on may 2020 here to which you said is on your to do list here but unfortunately this is still not sorted. This project is still pending and with Windows 8.1 now going EOL, I need it. Will it be possible for you to take a look at it ? Consider it a humble request. Thank you for the kind support.
I'm using v12.9 of the toolkit. I'm working with a 21H2 LTSC 19044.2251 ISO and removing almost everything. Keeping capture picker, win32calc, notepad, firewall and not much else. When i install from the drive created using Rufus and when I run the following commands it fails. Code: net user Geoff xxxxxx /ADD /passwordchg:no /expires:never /active:yes /fullname:"Geoff Duncan" >>%LogFile% 2>&1 net user Chris xxxxxx /ADD /passwordchg:no /expires:never /active:yes /fullname:"Chris Duncan" >>%LogFile% 2>&1 net user Gabrielle xxxxxx /ADD /passwordchg:no /expires:never /active:yes /fullname:"Gabrielle Duncan" >>%LogFile% 2>&1 net user Lounge xxxxxx /ADD /passwordchg:no /expires:never /active:yes /fullname:"Lounge" >>%LogFile% 2>&1 net user Rumpus xxxxxx /ADD /passwordchg:no /expires:never /active:yes /fullname:"Rumpus" >>%LogFile% 2>&1 I get the following errors; Code: The user or group account specified cannot be found. The user was successfully created but could not be added to the USERS local group. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3774. The user or group account specified cannot be found.

The user was successfully created but could not be added to the USERS local group. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3774. Did I remove something I shouldn't have? I don't have this problem on 1809 LTSC EDIT: Correction, I just found that during the Windows installation when asked for "Who uses this computer" the user account created is NOT added to the USERS local group on BOTH 1809 and 21H2. I can add accounts on 1809 without errors. See below... Only account on PC (Other than guest and administrator), not part of USERS group

Hi, I have used MSMG Toolkit v13.1 to remove windows applications from "Win11_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64v1.iso" file but without success (failed even after several attempts). There were no error messages at all and all other functions worked flawlessly. Can someone help me in this matter ? Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
What is the exact source build number you used and where did you get it from? What did you try to remove, Windows components? By means of a list or manually? Cheers.
The build number is 22621.963 downloaded from the offical MS webpage. I have used the following way to remove windows apps: [3] Remove => [1] Remove Windows Components => [1] Select Windows Components => [7] Windows Apps None of the selected apps have been removed (e.g. Tips, Voice recorder, Windows Mail etc)
It sounds like you don't go back to the main removal menu to apply your removal choices. I believe that's it. You select everything you want to remove with the "minus" (negative) sign and go back to using the start remove component option.
You are wrong. I went back to the main menu and did the following. [4] Customize => [8] Apply tweaks => disabled some components here (e.g. disable Cortana, Windows Defender) [5] Apply => [2] Apply & Save changes to source image => double "Y" [6] Target => [1] Make a DVD ISO image I think I should have done the [2] Start removing Windows components step as well but I missed it.
I have experienced another interesting thing. If I run start.cmd in "normal" mode there is no problem but when start.cmd is run as administrator my antivirus software finds an infected file (toolkit.cmd infected by BAT\KillAV.NFN). This is not a confidence-inspiring thing (KillAV means kill antivirus software) !!! I think this software will be deleted from my computer.
Good evening I ask where is it possible to download the previous versions of ToolKit, I need them to do some comparison tests. Thank you --------------------------------------------- I found, in the Toolkit>Archive folder. Sorry.
Well, from what you answered me, it seems to me that I'm not mistaken. What it sounds like is what it is. Don't go back to Main Menu, go back to Main Remove Windows Components Menu. So there's an option similar to that in the Customize menu. Yes, well that option. [2] Start Removing Windows Components Read the main post and the readme.txt file. In readme.txt note the Known Issues: section. This is a false positive as it has functions to remove SmartScreen, Windows Defender, etc. It's your choice. Everyone has been using it for years. sometimes someone appears commenting on a false positive. In all tools found on this or any forum that are related to customizing something proprietary, you can expect this. But staying cautious is always a great idea. Do what you want to do, inside VMs. I started like that until I got confident that it wasn't the tool that caused me any harm. But yes, me, inexperienced and breaking the system.
Good evening. I am using Toolkit 13.1 with W11 22621.963, I am asking if it is possible and how to do to insert Windows features. Such as NET fw 3.5, Directplay, NFS Services etc.. Thank you very much
Can someone please verify my tests; 1. If you rename your computer but don't reboot and then try to create a user using net user you will get an error about user not being added to the local users group. 2. When installing Windows after creating the default/primary user at the OOBE step that use is not added to the users localgroup.
I don´t know what you´re doing but here it works perfect And I have removed and tweaked a lot on my windows. It´s not a VM Edit: But you´re right. It doesn´t work in my VM.
