    By removing the WindowsTIFFIFilter component the below files required by GPedit are removed.
    %InstallMount%\%%i\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\SearchOCR.admx
    %InstallMount%\%%i\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\%ImageDefaultLanguage%\SearchOCR.adml

    Tanks to @fabricio simoes for tests and this print.

    Image from ISSUE:
    GPedit_error_SearchOCX.png

    Can you make the changes to perform the remove "WindowsTIFFIFilter" operation through the ToolkitHelper and keep these files?


    EDIT: The way I had previously posted the image was moderated. Image posted again, in Thumbnail.

    Try creating a new image and do in-place upgrade.

    No, doing so will

    - be like indirectly releasing the code for ToolkitHelper.
    - be difficult to make the pack since the ToolkitHelper while removing the components checks for various shared components existence and decides what to remove.

    The idea is good, let me see with encrypted backup option the feature to restore removed components can be added or not.

    From last 2 weeks I'm not doing well and so the update is delayed.

    Have added the support for CloudExperienceHost, ClientCBS, InputApp, ShellExperienceHost, StartmenuExperienceHost, and UndockedDevKit. Fixing the shared components which are connected with these components, soon it will be available with next version.

    Usually for non Core editions when a component is removed it's corresponding group policy files are also removed, will check with the WindowsTIFFIFilter component.

    Please look after yourself, your health comes before anything else. Take as much time as you need to get well again, then concentrate on the ToolKit when you feel more able.

    Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Your recent replies in this thread show how committed you are to us.

    @MSMG
    Hello, there is a MSMG Toolkit manual, I am viewing videos, but the steps they put are not worth anything, each one makes the video in their own way, follow the steps of one or the other and in the end the ISOS that I get by following the videos to remove the components that I do not want in the system medan ERROR 2 or failures when removing these components.
    Currently I remove it with NTlite and what doesn't let me try to remove it from the MSMG Toolkit, the issue of driver integration I would like to know how to do it.
    Thank you

    @MSMG ... i met few peoples talking :poop: about how good the "N" software to debloat and customize Windows Image... and they said they use MSMG Toolkit only if the "N" cannot remove it :mocking:

    Thats totally bull:poop: :annoyed:

    MSMG Toolkit is way better ... as i may consider MSMG Toolkit as the BEST tool to debloat and customize Windows Image.

    From it ease of use, from it features ... u just have to know how to use MSMG Toolkit, play around with it, get used to it... and u will realize MSMG Toolkit is way ahead many times of that "N" software... seriously.

    Im not trying to promote :poop: about MSMG Toolkit, i just telling u all the truth.

    I dont know @MSMG personally, never met him, just a few chats with him... but i know from his work of MSMG Toolkit... @MSMG is a GENIUS, he is so smart.

    Just to inform u all, i can get Windows 11 memory usage only 1.1 GB, and Windows 10 memory usage only 1.0 GB ... WITH MSMG Toolkit, and some DISM commands using Command Prompt only... make it run very fast and yet Still Very Stable without any problems.
    But im not releasing it, only for my own personal use, to meet and match my personal need and usage.

    My problems are only the Windows Services and Tasks, they are very tricky... have to try it 1 by 1 to disable them.

    One more thing, be careful and read what it doest before u apply MSMG Tweaks section, sometime things can get messy when u apply it, i dont why.. maybe it is the Windows system, maybe it triggered something thats not suppose to happened, because the tweaks configure the registries. I dont know, but after i get used to MSMG Toolkit, all works perfectly without problems :music2::pardon::dance1::dance1::rastabanana::rastabanana::party_time:

    Yes, this is a case, where we enabled GPedit in Core Editions. But I asked him to also test it on the pro to see if the same error occurred when opening GPedit and this print was from a Pro Edition.

    Obs.: GPedit only enabled on Core, nothing was forced on Pro, since Pro and SKUs based on it already have GPedit enabled.


    If you are in fragile health, keep taking care of yourself. That's the most important.

    Oh, I thought their might be something simpler.

    Anyway, I have a problem with in place upgrades where registry paths get duplicated. I can replicate it 100%. Every time I do an in-place registry paths get screwed.
    I could never figure out what was causing is it so I've stopped doing in pace upgrades.

    If I tell my son I have to install his Windows again I fear he wont talk to me for quite a long time :(

    I've created a new image, And another son wants ease of access added back, but neither wants to reinstall windows again.

    Is it possible to use MSMG to remove PowerShell 2.0 and substitute PowerShell 7.3.4 AND automatically update settings of Windows terminal to recognize the change without doing it manually? Also, are there any drawbacks to removing PowerShell 2.0.

    You can disable PowerShell 2 using DisableFeaturesList
    This option is in Customize menu. The list you need to change in "Bin\Lists".
    Take a look there. You will need enter the "Bin\Lists\Templates*" folder search some Features txt file, then use the data to fill the DisableFeaturesList.txt empty file, with what you want to disable.

    Native PowerShell 5.1 will not be removed.
    PowerShell 7 have too many cmdlets missing.
    I am studying a way to export the Native cmdlets to make a script that installs and import modules to PowerShell 7.

    Note: Disable the support to PowerShell 2 will improve your security.
