    Do you want to convert to reg file?
    For what?

    The function and options are already in the Toolkit to facilitate application.

    These options no longer work for the builds you mentioned and are you wanting a code review to be carried out for compatibility with these builds?
    Regarding this, MS releases are so full of problems that we have to wait for them to stabilize a little.
    Then the community starts to find what to modify. What no longer works, etc.


    Explain better what you want/need?

    Indeed!
    Winrar 6.21 did not work, but latest 6.24 worked.
    Latest 7z also worked.

    hi,
    if it is at all possible,
    could someone give me the version number not the version it's self which supports windows 7, 8 and 8.1?
    the last version of msmg toolkit which supported these versions?
    it would be great if support for these versions could be reinabled, this would not mean adding new components, but enableing removal of pryer enabled components again.
    @MSMG would this be possible?

    By the way, do you know if it's possible to re-enable/re-install a removed component like 'SpeechRecognition'?
    Without building and reinstalling a new image?

    You can manually reinstall only some components from 8th Menu (Windows Apps).

    If you install updates through Windows Update, it should come back.
    But components removed from Menu 1 to 7 may return.


    You better to make a new ISO and do Inplace Upgrade.
    I don't know if Inplace Upgrade restore the removed components.
    I always do Inplace Upgrade with Images with the same list of removed components.


    When I want to make changes to this list, I do a clean installation of the system.

    Sorry, not "Keys", i mean full reg path, better via cmd command like this:

    "REG ADD KeyName [{/v ValueName | /ve}] [/t Type] [/f] ..."

    MSMG toolkit provides best option I've ever seen when i prefer disable auto updates for example. I see huge list of applied policies like "Some parameters are controlled by your organization".

    I want to try set up these parameters manually, also i watched lots of tweaks/optimizers source codes on github and everything different. I tried to perform somethig same but without 3rd party software, and no success. So i decided to ask for help here.

    Ok, i understand. My version is Windows 11 22H2 22621.1702

    1.Disable automatic driver updates throught Windows Update.
    2.Disable automatic install 3rd party apps.
    3.Disable automatic OS upgrade tweak.
    4.Enable Windows photo viewer.
    Also
    5. Disable windows smart screen.

    I'll ask simpler: what MSMG Toolkit do to apply these tweaks?

    You will need to learn to mount registry hives then about every hive and how to change the registry commands for your hive lod mount point.

    Code:
    :: Mounting Image Registry for Offline Editing
    reg.exe load HKLM\TK_COMPONENTS "%~1\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS" %_NUL12%
    reg.exe load HKLM\TK_DEFAULT "%~1\Windows\System32\config\default" %_NUL12%
    reg.exe load HKLM\TK_NTUSER "%~1\Users\Default\ntuser.dat" %_NUL12%
    reg.exe load HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE "%~1\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE" %_NUL12%
    reg.exe load HKLM\TK_SYSTEM "%~1\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM" %_NUL12%
    
    Ex:
    for HKLM\SOFTWARE
    In Toolkit is HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE

    for HKCR
    In Toolkit is HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Classes

    for HKLM\SYSTEM
    In Toolkit is HKLM\TK_SYSTEM

    for HKCU\Software
    In Toolkit you can use:
    HKLM\TK_DEFAULT\Software
    HKLM\TK_NTUSER\Software

    It took me a long time to learn this. Why didn't I get straight to the point?
    In your case, if you focus, you learn quickly.
    You'll have to take a look at these substitutions that the code makes. To return to commands for direct use.

    Basically, the ones I showed you will be the ones you will use. And, if you want the creation of new users to bring your changes, you will have to load the file ":\Users\Default\ntuser.dat" and execute the commands to apply the changes you want to apply, in your user use as in the Default User.

    For direct use in an installed Windows you will only need to load this ntuser.dat from Default User.

    Ex: search in Toolkit.cmd code for:
    Code:
    if "%Tweak%" equ "Disable3RDPartyApps"

    The selected source image build does not support custom component removal,
    However it supports DISM component removal. For component removal, use Remove
    Windows Components using Package List (DISM Method) menu.

    what it does means?

    I don't remember seeing that before so it must have been added in the past few months.
    But I think this bit in the README is relevant:
    @inTerActionVRI
    Question about this, I always start with 22h2 Media Creation Tool image.
    Which would imply that it's not compatible, but it still worked fine.
    Is that because I integrated the update packages before trying component removal?
    Or should it not actually work?

    This can cause problems with Windows Update and mainly not correctly remove the components selected for removal.

    I also used it this way several times. But currently I use the .1 builds generated through the UUP dump App.
    It's called an App, but it's the UUP dump website used locally, on your machine.

    last time i used msmg toolkit it was with the old menu selection
    now it has a description of component removal.
    + keep cpmponent
    - component will be removed
    * this means its locked? or its required.? i remeber seeing explanation but could not find it.

    and another question...
    lets say i spent 1 hour carefully reading and selecting components.. made my choices and am ready to start removal.. BUT .. lets sayin 2 days i decide to make another iso qith the same components ive used before...
    once i spent lots of time selecting components is there a way i can export the list of the selected components. so nect time i want to use the same and create new iso i dont have to go thru all components again.?

    cant remove winsat- kernel debugger- error reporting.? they have *
    mmmmm? why it cant be removed.?

    Store Experience Host (Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp)
    The Store Experience Host is a core component of the Windows Store that allows users to purchase and download apps, games, and other
    content from the store. It is a separate app from the Windows Store app itself, and it is responsible for handling the actual
    purchase and download process.
    Depends on : Microsoft .NET Native Framework 2.2, Microsoft .NET Native Runtime 2.2, Microsoft Store Core,
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 UWP Runtime

    this component.. if no microsoft account is used you cant download anything.. but if removed can it still update apps that are already installed. like the store itself.?

    * means you select C just before selecting windows component removal option and you u select or select options to block or unblock. It's actually a coool thing because of if you select edge to be installed after you mark it in option C other components it needs will be locked so you won't make mistake.

    Is this a great question?

    I tell you one thing: I don't sign up for any account on the MS Store. However, I go to the store and update everything that is installed manually. And it works, if Windows Update is disabled correctly.
    But I have to check my list, whether I remove this component or not. If not, this needs testing.
