here is a model that people can be making, these are online, but transferring the change to the mounted image, just put the numbers of the updates in the variable list, if they are not resetBase, the script will remove, if the numbers of the list is incorporated, go to uninstall updates, and they will have a base https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/disable-remove-telemetry-and-tracking-service.68131/
The point is spare (a lot of) time for people like me that understand the value of VHDs AND/OR the simplicity of deploying images instead of using the 1990s setups.exe and ISOs To summarize Traditional way #1 Unpack the stock image in the DVD folder (some time needed) #2 Select the image and mount it (a good amount of time needed) #3 Do whatever you like to the image (the usual thing you do using MSMG) (time needed depending on complexity) #4 Apply the image (a good amount of time needed) #5 Cleanup the image (a good amount of time needed) #6 Create the ISO (some time needed) #7 Copy the ISO to your usual storage location, burn the ISO, Use rufus, whatever depending on your preferences. #8 Then install the OS, or deploy the image, (again a lot of time needed) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My way #1 Create a VHD and mount it (almost instantaneous) #2 Deploy the stock image to a vhdx (some time needed) #3 Do whatever you like to the image (the usual thing you do using my hypothetical MSMG) (time needed depending on complexity) #4 unmount the disk (istantaneous) #5 add it to bcd (to boot natively) or use bcdboot (before #4) to make it bootable in a VM (instantaneous) #6 Just boot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See the difference? And that's just speaking of a perfect procedure. In case of multiple mistakes overvriting a 5/6GB file is surely way faster than discarding and remounting a WIM
once you remove the components how do you get or save the list of components you have removed so next time you could just use the package list.? is there a guide or place where i could find all the removeable components description.? a list description is needed so that we know what exaactly each component is or does..

Edge Classic Browser - Edge Legacy Browser which is now deprecated cam be removed. Setting Sync - Sync Settings across various connected devices.

I just analyzed opera here master look, even though it is the official installer directly from the site, it will be installed directly from the users folder, how to proceed with this? that's why I want you to make a package of this opera, so we can see how it will look in the registry
For the record a working edge classic can be re-added after the removal of the stub packages. The freshest version should be the one from 1904x.867, speaking of released version. The very latest working one should be from build 21301.1010, that IIRC is installable on 1904x w/o modifiing the mums or other hacks.. I have the cabs of both versions but I forgot to keep the en-US cabs, so I have handy just the it_IT ones. Whatever, in 2015 edge was the evil, in 2023 it's just a quick and dirty browser, which is faster than anything else when you need just a simple download. So i started integrating it in my recent builds.

Hello! Removed the update center! After installing Windows 10 Pro, I can not manually update the drivers in the device manager !!! An error occurs during the update! So, it's better not to delete the update center!
Obviously EDGE legacy as the main browser is a no go. (lately) I use it as a light browser that start almost istananeusly because many of its components are already loaded by the OS, just like happened in the IE6 days. As a main browser just use Vivaldi, there isn't anything like it (although MS keeps copying some of its features in the new "EDGium"), give it a try.
hi there, @MSMG would it be possible to have a all folder in the drivers folder? where drivers could be placed that you wish to go in to both the windows pe image and the install.wim image? it would make adding drivers and such easia. i'm not sure how hard it would be for you to add this, but I would be greatful if you would considder this.

@ceo54 in the toolkit folder you will find a folder named bin. in that folder is another folder named lists. look in there. toolkit helper templates. maybe the bin folder should be renamed? I mean what do you think about when some one talks about your bins? trash write? hth Majid
@ceo54 ask @MSMG if there is away for toolkit helper.exe to output a list of all packages it supports. if there is, then we would be greatful. @MSMG would it be possible to have a menu item to export a list of packages that toolkit helper supports from within the menu? in the same way your template lists has? would help alot, would also mean that you would not have to keep updateing your template lists.
