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.
hi all, does anyone have didup compatable with image version 10.0.19041.2006.0? i'm not sure where to aquire it myself from. Majid
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? Majid
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.
@acer-5100 thank you for answering matey would you say it would make for a good candidate for removal? thanks again for answering. Majid
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
@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?
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.
Thanks for ur help, i agree with u, windows 11 is su*k, but its interface look good, i also prefer windows 10, but im trying to make my install.wim atleast for 2 years, i dont want to get oldfashioned with the os, and dont want to debloat it everytime i want to use it, so i guess lil busy with windows 11 install.wim for 2 years usage worth the headache... i guess... and s*it it really give me headache... alots..
@FriedTempe if i were you, I would wait for the next version of toolkit with the windows update removal support and make a new image. with the wu components removed. no chance of the install getting scupperd. you can doo an inplace upgrade to the next edition of windows via another custom iso made with a future version of toolkit.. Majid
MSMG next update will have Windows Update removal? Wow thats great... cant wait for it... thanks majid
@FriedTempe An interesting thing for you to see, knowing the names of the services and searching for .reg files to disable the services is: open gpedit (not for home editions) and read the services there. Deactivate, reactivate, break the system (hehehe). Then with the names of the services noted down you can search how to disable with reg file. About importing your .reg files, explore the custom folder, inside it there is a tree of folders for you to place your custom .reg files. With the image in service (being edited) you can use the Customize Menu which has an option to import Log Files. I think it's simpler than using the Tools Menu that was suggested by our friend @mhussain.
I dont see gpedit in my windows, i am using home edition.. my laptop cant handle windows pro.. i am also not in need for the extra things windows pro offered... i am just a regular user, using my 4GB ram laptop only for school works.. I just wondering how come u guys are so smart about computer, u guys know alots, i feel like a stupid in front of u guys
hi @MSMG a question you may find interesting. so we have OOBENetworkCaptivePortal OOBENetworkConnectionFlow are there more components that you could remove from oobe? examples the privacy questions page? the 3 questions page. where you are asked where your parents met etc is this possible? since they should not have any change on a customized image? the privacy page at least...
