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.
What version of Windows are you using and what version of ToolKit. However to do a definitive test I installed on Host computer and I get the same problem. In my opinion maybe the problem lies in the final stage of ISO creation with ToolKit. I cannot consider the Virtual Machine that is used to test precisely the ISOs as unreliable, Moreover both the original version of Windows and the version modified with NTLite, works without problems on the virtual machine and Host computer.
@MIMMO61 and @roedel, I don't know if it will make any difference to you, but abbodi released "uup-converter-wimlib-86.7z" update in November. UUPdump downloads and extracts the October v85 release. How to proceed? 1. Download and extract "uup-converter-wimlib-86.7z" 2. Add your custom "CustomAppsList.txt" in this extracted folder. 3. Select and Copy all files with your "CustomAppsList.txt" (ctrl+c) 4 Download and extract the "22621.963_amd64_*_multi_*_convert.zip" file downloaded from UUPdump. 5. Start the process of downloading the files for preparing the ISO by running "uup_download_windows.cmd". 6. Wait a few seconds until the files are extracted and populate the folder where "uup_download_windows.cmd" is present. 7. Now paste (ctrl+v) and replace all the files. This way, the "convert-UUP.cmd" of the updated package will process the image after download. And your "CustomAppsList.txt" will not be replaced with the default one.
2 @MSMG and 2 All First, thank you @MSMG for this great tool! I could not find information about removing/disabling WaasMedic in Win11. As far as I know, in Win10 on a running system it was impossible to disable this service, so its package had to be removed from the installation distributive. I have absolutely no need for Windows updates. Is it possible to remove/disable WaasMedic in Win11 22H2 Build 22621.963 using MSMG? Or maybe with the command line it is possible to manually enter commands to remove this package until the image used by MSMG is unmounted.
The toolkit gets the Netfx35 from your working .iso ".\sources\sxs" folder. It is deprecated. Not anymore.
