    #1 I have no idea, i use qbittorrent

    #2 I don't like integrating third part SW in the WIM, unless we are talking of a vital thing (like a browser after your remove IE and Edgium)

    #3 even if I want to do that, I prefer to install/configure/tweak what I need by hand in audit mode, then sysprep, then keep my .vhdx handy, ready to be booted natively or on a VM uing just a single copy operation and a single command to add it to the bootloader.

    Even if you don't understand the power of native vhds (just like the majority of MDL users), you can capture the vhd content in a new install.wim, and use it to make an old school bootable ISO.

    IMO a way better option than relying on scripts that runs blindly.

    An option for you, because what I do are tests to be sure of what I want to study the same, my things, if I don't get one right, I go to the other and the other, plan A B C D, with the studies and what we will need for a decision ahead, what I'm talking about with the MSMG, are things that, as I said, I study, where I don't use it, until I'm sure if it's going to work, in short, I'm a "Company Administrator" where I do that, I don't get drowned with my decisions, because I always have in mind several other things to replace, I'm not a programmer, but I learn easily, as well as professor @MSMG and my partner @inTerActionVRI who taught me a lot, but anyway, when I'm interested in learning and studying, we go far, why not we know all right? and if we say we know we know nothing, abs!

    If we are talking of getting skilled on scripting rather than speedup practical scenarios I keep my mouth shut. Learning is always something of very important.

    Just avoid of being catched in what I call the High end WIFI syndrome, thare was a rime when people kept improving every minute detail of their HIFI equipment, but many of them never listened a whole Beatles or Beethoven LP.

    Here on MDL (and not just MDL) we have some bright examples of people who use Windows just to update and improve Windows and nothing else, so my personal way is to try to learn (possibly) doing something that make my life better, that halves/reduce the time needed to accomplish a task.

    The native vhd thing is an example of that I spent a good amount of time learning them, but now each time I need a fresh install or a different OS I spend few seconds, not hours.

    I own a real concert Piano from 1930s, sadly various life complications (family moved in different places because of work and other things) prevented me to get past the very amateurish level.
    I moved to a different kind of keyboards
    After all anglophones call the buttons "keys" for a reason ;)

    Interesting. I have the noactiveprobe enabled and have removed the ncsiuwpapp and my ncsi indicator is working perfectly :confused:
    That's on 21H2.

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator]
    "NoActiveProbe"=dword:00000001

    In 1809 there was an issue with the system creating endless amounts of .evtx and .tmpx files. This turned out to be related to AppxSvc - disabling that stopped the problem, but obviously also prevented woring with appx related features.

    In 1809 it broke the Settings > Personalizaion > Themes page, but that was hardly an issue.

    I found that in 21H2, having this service disabled also breaks the Settings > System > About page.

    But since the issue with the .evtx/.tmpx has been fixed there is no reason to disable the service any more.

    Dear MSMG, can you please fix the component removal for 22621.1344 when you find the time. :) It's the latest version that ExplorerPatcher works with and I'd love to have an updated image that works with it! I appreciate all your work and the Toolkit is the best! Thanks

    @MSMG
    would it be possible to add the components
    printing to the purge list?
    one of the packages that was located via dism is
    Microsoft-Windows-Printing-PrintToPDFServices-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1806
    and the xps component of the printing list?
    Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XPSServices-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.19041.1?
    I never use printing services at all, hence my requesting this component edition.
    i'm also blind, so printing would not help me in any sercomstance.

    I currently use dism to purge these packages.
    what if any inpact would purging all printing components if you were to add them via toolkit have on the installed system?
    since it's printing not much I should think?
    you would kno better than i?
    master msmg.
    what's nfs?
    sounds like A enterprize feature,
    I remove that via dism also.
    thank you for your consideration.
    a question in general.
    how many of you use the dism way of removeing packages after you have used the toolkit removal process?
    and what outcome did you get with the resultant image?

    Network File System, the Unix protocol to share files, just like SMB/CIFS is the standard protocol in Windows.

    Hardly nowadays you need it, given Linux, and most of other Unixes support SMB well teese days.

    And there is also FTP, which is fairly universal.

    yeah, but likely is a tiny package, and is not enabled by default, so nothing to gain in RAM/CPU usage, little to gain in reducing the ISO/WIM size
     
  17. @MSMG, i have request for MSMG Toolkit, can u please make option to disable / remove Windows Services? Thanks

    @FriedTempe
    why would you want an option like that, when toolkit has an option to edit the images registry?
    that's where services are located where you can set options?
     
  19. Because i dont know how to do it, im not as smart as u.
    Can u tell me how to disable windows services using MSMG Toolkit?
    And tell me which Windows 11 services are safe to disabled?

    how to disable services through toolkit mounted registry
    hi,
    @FriedTempe
    i'm not as smart as you.
    I have never clamed to have been.
    with your image mounted.
    7,tools
    3 options.
    4 load image registry
    after toolkit has done that,
    on your host system, launch regedit.
    then go to the following path:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
    under there you will find the mounted reg image, labeled with the tk prefix, example:
    TK_DEFAULT.
    now, I believe the service location is as folows.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services.
    if you wish to disable a service find it's name.
    like
    AppIDSvc
    it's startup type is set to
    3
    which I believe is manual.
    if you set it to 4,
    that will mean disabled.
    so how to find that service
    go to
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\AppIDSvc
    in there you will find a load of enteries, the bit you are looking for is
    start
    when you find it,
    press enter on it and change the value to 4
    which means disabled.
    4 means disabled
    3 means manual
    2 means automatic
    1 means system start
    0 means boot start
    I hope this is of help to you.
    I am sorry to say
    I don't use windows 11,
    I'm on windows 10.
    windows 11 seems to be a dumpster fire of mishmashed components, i'm sure you can tell I don't like it.
    so services you should disable?
    I am unable to assist you with your quest.
    sorry!
    I hope this helps?
    the bit write at the top is incase anyone uses search on the forum thread in future.
