You could make an option instead of the firefox option called, for example, nonMS_Apps. That detect and display the multiselection list menu of tpks inside that folder. Just how I did for the menu display of the isos present in the ISO folder to extract and mount. These keys do not have their contents elsewhere in the registry. I haven't figured out how to load the hive for those. For now I only know that it is possible to insert in the post installation. I even made convertreg separate these entries into another file, but I didn't finish this modification. And as you know HKCU is: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21.......\... But in HKEY_USERS the key to classes is: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21......._Classes\... I added this modification to convertreg as well.
Mr. @MSMG , @inTerActionVRI ... may i ask u something? How to remove SystemApps : CloudExperienceHost and Client.CBS in Windows 10 LTSC ? Do u mind tell me how to remove it from install.wim? Or if these apps must be removed on a live system, please tell me how to remove them, i am not really understand about scripting and programming. Thank so much for your kind answer.
Please include in the latest toolkit following builds: Windows 10 LTSC 2019 Build 17763.4010 and Windows 10 LTSC 2021 (19044.2673) Thank you for your hard work and making this toolkit a must have tool.
True that. I'l rephrase my question; Is it possible to install and run Brave with absolutely no access to Google services whatsoever? I can download the offline installer off github and only update it once a year when I refresh PCs. But IIRC, when I tried to install it I had problems because I block all google services and websites. tbh, it still worries me. Even though brave is "open source" I'm still concerned there might be aspects of it that try to access google.
No idea about brave, but for sure Vivaldi people spent almost an year to do what you ask, degoglify each bit of the chromium sources is an huge task, because the sources are huge and google managed to infect almost any corner of the sources with its IP addresses and services. I hope the Brave guys did the same huge work.
You can safely block all connections to Google with your HOSTS file. Disable the DNS over HTTPS or over TLS. Log DNS entries and see what URL's are resolved by the browsers (mostly on startup) filter the Google URLs. Add those URL's to your HOSTS file or block them with your preferred firewall.
How is driver integration working? I haven't this kind of feature since nLite and was wondering if it'll detect and install accordingly or just get pushed regardless if hardware is detected or not? I would love to add both nvidia and amd (or other) drivers but if both get installed then that kinda defeats the purpose regardless if it's unattended or not at least for my use case.
@mhussain, I tried your idea and had incredible success. It was not on the compatible list, (W10.22H2(19045.2486)) but it worked. It didn't freeze, although it didn't remove everything. Otherwise, not much. Thank you!

Is it possible to get Windows Security Updates after removing Windows Update component in MSMG Toolkit, using Powershell (PSWindowsUpdate module)?
What is the new ToolKitHelper.exe.config file for, who should use it and how? Have downloaded Toolkit.cmd, ToolKitHelper.exe and ToolKitHelper.exe.config and put them in the ToolKit folder so I can begin my testing in the meantime.
@MSMG When removing component Retail Demo Content, ToolKitHelper.exe could also remove scheduled task Microsoft\Windows\RetailDemo\CleanupOfflineContent.
