Other than that, the toolkit does work and it does remove everything in the component removal menu, it's up to you what to keep. And yes, it does matter what version image you're using, as components sometimes change from CU to CU.
MSMG Toolkit is lovely. It is totally random. I made another test and Sticky Notes is gone! Groove, Movies, Recorder, Windows Store are still there, but Sticky Notes is gone...
Okay, but why the hell can't it remove a component like e.g. voice recorder? 1225 page thread and no one can tell why it can't remove voice recorder?
Because you seem to be stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the fact that you're using the wrong windows build.
I would say because you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that the code is buggy. It works only if you place Toolkit folder in a root dir (C:\ or D:\). I've moved Toolkit folder to D:\ and everything was ok. Ten years and 1225 pages to find out. Never had similar problem using DISM.
You could have saved a lot of time energy by just following the instructions included with the ToolKit.

MSMG thanks for all the hard work on this much apricated. Also I believe that the VCRUNTIME pack is corrupted it took me several hours to figure out that pack is what was causing my SFC errors. Please have a look at the pack. Thanks, Dean
When using MSMG on Windows 11 Professional Workstation N, does anybody know what components I need to preserve the ability of Windows Explorer to navigate my mobile phone files and to be able to view Windows *.xps files? Everything else was working fine.
Are you using the refreshed images provided by MS or do you use the [1] Cleanup Source Images using DISM Cleanup-Image menu in Apply menu? If yes then it creates ghost SFC errors, If not then will check the pack and fix the errors.
refreshed image I made with the updates and I am not using the [1] Cleanup Source Images using DISM Cleanup-Image menu in Apply menu? If I do not use the VCRUNTIME pack I get no errors and the build it perfect. I have spent hours trying to figure it out I started by building the image one step at a time and installing in a Virtualbox VM. I never though to check the packs as I never had a problem with then on my WIN10 build. I will try it with the original MS WIN11_22H2 release and see if I still get the errors. I will report back in a few. Thanks
