@MSMG Please include in the latest toolkit following builds: Windows 10 LTSC 2019 Build [17763.4131] and Windows 10 LTSC 2021 [19044.2728] Thank you in advanced for the Magic-Toolkit.
I'm posting my results for MSMG using Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, build 22621-22H2 and Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, both regular and version "N", 19041-2004. My goal for all OSs was to remove: (1) OneDrive, (2) Windows Media Player, (3) Windows Defender (4) Photo Viewer, (5) IE & Edge (6) Networking components like Telnet and TFTP (7) MS Store and Xbox and (8) anti-privacy components. I kept almost everything else, including Windows Firewall and Linux subsystem. Per member @acer-1500, MSMG v12.1 is recommended for Windows 10, build 19041. All of my other tests used MSMG v.13.2. Windows 11 Pro for Workstations was also briefly tested W11_22000-21H2, with results similar to Build 22621-22H2, except that it has less aggressive OS updates and "Home" can be removed from Navigation pane. Again, this was MY personal experience, your mileage may vary. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, 19041-2004 Windows 10 Pro N for Workstations, 19041-2004
Anyone know how to Disable certain Scheduled Tasks while customizing your install media with MSMG? For example, I have these Scheduled Tasks I'd like to have disabled before first system boot: \UpdateOrchestrator\Report policies \UpdateOrchestrator\Schedule Scan \UpdateOrchestrator\Schedule Scan Static Task \UpdateOrchestrator\UpdateModelTask \UpdateOrchestrator\USO_UxBroker \WaaSMedic\PerformRemediation \WindowsUpdate\Scheduled Start P.S. What does the MSMG acronym stand for? Thanks!
Hey thanks, I appreciate that. I honestly thought it would be more simple, like a registry or file import. I tried importing some of the C:\Windows\System32\Tasks after disabling the tasks, but no dice. They're simple XML, but they aren't sticking on the final image. I'll probably just end up doing it manually on each deployment (not too many, manageable).
You can probably change the Code: <Enabled>true</Enabled> flag in the .XML file to "false" to disable it. But I don't know why you would want to do that. It's much easier to run a batch script after installation to disable those 7 tasks you want stopped. Hope that helps.
Hi, maybe I've read somewhere but can someone tell me is it possible to remove components with toolkithelper.exe (with MSMG v13.2) method from a .1607 image? Or do I have to use Toolkit v8.8 in order to service that specific image? Thanks in advance
hi all, just removed every component that is possible to remove using msmg toolkit. this includes the windows update component. all is working well here. had to add my screen reader's installer to the run once string since I removed narrator and friends. very happy I am. thank you msmg again for msmg toolkit and all the stressful work it must be in finding components and debugging them. on a less happy note swiftly moveing all my data off this 4tb hdd due to impending disk failia. it's a seegate backup plus. give me strength. next time I'll try wd. sorry for going off topic. Majid
@mhussain Give me an example, because with my dumb brain I really don't understand what it's about. Maybe I can finally understand
@MSMG if i've choose to remove cortana and smartscreen, and the toolkit have removed it from the image, do i still need to disable cortana and smartscreen from the apply tweaks section? This is kinda confusing for me.. thanks
@FriedTempe hi, no you don't need to use the tweaks if you have removed the sed components from the image already.
I have known this for some time. My problem is that it deletes before it runs, with or without exclamation mark... I added it to the autounatand.xml file and it didn't run anyway, it was deleted. By the way, ha, I care if you don't, I started with DOS and pascal. no bragging, I was referring to my age. but I'm not senile. I ask, and I say, I don't think we should argue here, or with anyone. Thank you!!!!
