inTerActionVRI Can someone tell me how to attach/customize the layout of Windows 11 start menu icons by choice when creating an image using the MSMG Toolkit? Thank you for your help.
Hi how i can change UNATTEND with MSMG toolkit? I would change the logo and the product of OEM information
@inTerActionVRI @MSMG Is possible to keep the components removed using MSMG Toolkit after running an update? or is recommend to avoid updates?
Only Disabling Windows Update. Keep the Windows Update for another things. Just do the in-place upgrade when you want to upgrade your Windows host. NTlite has an automated process that checks which components are not present. After that, it starts removing components that were no longer present. But it doesn't work well when you need to update some very old host installation (maybe 2 years without updates). I like to think of making ToolkitHelper work from WinPE so you select your drive when offline it should work as mounted image. Perhaps someone who has done this can explain it better. From the MSGM explanations, it supposedly works. I never tried.
I see, thanks for the info. Next time, I will try to integrate all the update and them pause windows update to keep components removed. A random question for you guys @inTerActionVRI and @MSMG, you guys have considered create a page for the most common question already replied in this thread?
@inTerActionVRI. Great tip at link (https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-1220#post-1771219) But for a clean install, where the user is installing some apps after setup, might it not be better to copy start.bin to Code: %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\start.bin after setup is complete and back the file up periodically to keep it current next time you make a clean install, rather than baking it in to the Windows ISO?
Do as you wish. Integrating a clean file and customizing later is up to the user. You do not need to update this Start.bin file. Only if you want to modify it. Inside my package there are several templates. Just rename it. .\Toolkit\Bin\StartMenuLayoutBIN\Templates DefaultStartMenuLayout FileExplorer Settings [DEF4132D].bin start empty [9846A051].bin start FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge MsStore [8A11646C].bin start FileExplorer MsEdge MsStore [1EF1857D].bin start FileExplorer MsEdge [2BBD8C33].bin start FileExplorer MsStore [A34D61BB].bin start FileExplorer UWPCalc [305193CB].bin start FileExplorer Win32Calc UWPCalc [DD286358].bin start FileExplorer Win32Calc [7FC309BA].bin start FileExplorer [0D17D92F].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge MsStore StickyNotes Notes UWPCalc [46598F8D].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge MsStore StickyNotes Notes Win32Calc UWPCalc [DD19B2ED].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer IExplorer MsEdge StickyNotes Notes UWPCalc MsStore [2AEB95AE].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer MsEdge MsStore UWPCalc StickyNotes Notes [95A4C0EA].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer MsEdge StickyNotes Notes UWPCalc MsStore [FA715075].bin start Terminal SandBOX FileExplorer MsEdge StickyNotes Notes Win32Calc UWPCalc MsStore [5229F5AC].bin
