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.
From my experience: 1. the more number of the edition, the more updates MS gives, the more problems and bugs u will get 2. u will get more headache, 3. spend more times to solve the problem by asking, complaining, and... 4. downloading the newest edition which will give u more problems and bugs, and then u will get more headache... 5. Finally u will start over again from number 3 U will get berak berak
MSMG, removing Windows Update, breaks the manual installation of drivers through the Device Manager!!! But it does not violate the installation of the Windows updates themselves (.cab) manually via the command line. p. s. Drivers are not installed even through Driver Genius offline installer!
Does that also impact context menu install through .inf files via this reg hack? Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\Shell\RunAs] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\Shell\RunAs] @="Install" "HasLUAShield"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\Shell\RunAs\Command] @="cmd /k dism /online /add-package /packagepath:\"%1\""
If using just ToolKitHelper.exe you can directly point the mount location to the mounted VHD drive. Will explore the option of Toolkit supporting mounted VHD images as source.
The Toolkit provides two methods to remove the components: 1) The Traditional DISM method, you can get the package list by using the command Code: Dir <Image-Mount-Folder-Path>\Windows\Servicing\Packages\*.mum 2) The Toolkit's Component Removal Engine (ToolKitHelper.exe), you can get the package list by using the command Code: ToolKitHelper.exe <Image-Mount-Folder-Path> /? The Templates for Apps, Features and Packages list for both the above methods can be found inside Toolkit's <Bin\Lists> folder
Yes, it opens fast but what I don't like is the lack of good extensions like uBlock Origin. Well, I do have the cab files for all versions and languages.
When you say you cannot manually update the drivers in the device manager, do you select the option to install the driver automatically? The Windows Update removal has been added recently and it takes time to find out the dependent or shared components, will check out what's breaking the drivers update.
Obviously I don't like that too, but for the small added size it may be worth, especially for people who use a host file based adblocking method.
