Honestly, I don't think you can remove a lot and use Windows Update afterwards. because cumulative updates involve a lot. so they don't complete.
I know Win11 works and I know I did something to it which makes it not work properly, that's what I said, I said that I created a custom Win11 ISO (removed some components using MSMG Toolkit), but after I installed it, I couldn't install some updates, so I am asking if there are some components that shouldn't be removed so updates can be installed without problems when I know what are those components, I will recreate another ISO without removing them.
Knowing that using windows update all the work you went through, removing components, will be undone... Why would you want to remove the components and use Windows Update? This is for people to meditate a little on the subject and research the Inplace Update. The advantage of using the Toolki is this. Prepare ISOs and do Inplace Update when it is opportune (more feasible). You need to create and recreate several ISOs and use them until you hit something that works for you. What works for many doesn't work for me and vice versa.
This build is not supported, for the current version of Toolkit you need 10.0.22621.1 or 10.0.22621.1105 Read the Readme.txt Code: [G] - Remove Windows Components using Remove menu. [1] If using Remove Windows Components menu then [1] Select the Components to be removed using [Remove Windows Components->Select Windows Components] menu. [2] Remove the selected Windows Components using [Remove Windows Components-> Start Removing Windows Components] menu. Note: Only for Client editions source images with integrated cumulative update specified in the changelog.txt.
Do you want to add removal of these components? Some may be needed for Start Menu or System Tray flyouts, System Apps.
1) Get the 10.0.22621.1105 msu file (windows11.0-kb5022303-x64_87d49704f3f7312cddfe27e45ba493048fdd1517.msu) and using 7-zip extract the below files to Toolkit's <WHD\w11\x64\10.0.22621> folder SSU-22621.898-x64.cab Windows11.0-KB5022303-x64.psf Windows11.0-KB5022303-x64.cab 2) Mount the source using Toolkit 3) Use the Integrate -> Integrate Windows Updates -> Integrate WHD Update Pack -> Integrate WHD General Updates -> Integrate to Windows Setup Install Image menu to integrate the updates to the image. 4) Apply the changes to the source 5) Make ISO and copy the ISO for backup purpose 6) Mount the source using Toolkit 7) Remove the components 8) Apply the changes to the source
@ 0ProBoy0 I dont want to diss the tool or its maker . Its a very good tool and it works . I hope you solved your problem . Your talking abiut dependancys ......... and i'm saying .......... noone knows what microsoft is going to put in future updates .......... not wich componants ......... and not whats bundled with what .......or what future dependancys . That means that a better strategy is to make a base working image / C copy that hasnt been in the net .......... and update it each month ......... and then i if you feel the need cut bits out . I asked what you want to achieve because often people are trying to achieve things that cutting doesnt do . Questions like ...... does cutting things make your system faster = No ......... dors it make it safer = Maybe .......... does it stop it phoneing home = No .......... does it stop updates = No .............. so whats the point ? If you want to stop it phoneing home and updateing ......... put a firewall / IP blocker in your router ? If your still interested in cutting things tell us what youve cut out and then other people can tell you their experience .
Forgot to mention that the ToolkitHelper_Templates list needs to be updated to include WebView2SDK entry.
Thanks! Another thing I can extract msu from NetFramework481 update? In this case, which folder would I place the extraction?
