    Only works util update 2283. After that if you remove some component set with toolkihelper methods it will bring to you a Broken ISO.

    It doesn't matter if you use a supported ISO and integrate the Updates... Updates above 2283 if you use the toolkithelper methods for removal, this is breaking all the ISOs I made in my tests. I did a lot of removal combinations. Unsuccessfully.
    I tested it yesterday with the 2506, it broke too.
    I haven't yet tested just removing components via DISM, only this way people should be able to remove components without problems, but the number of components that can be removed is much smaller.

    can I get an example of removing multiple components in one line?
    similar to ToolKitHelper C:\WORK\Mount EdgeChromium,OneDrive,ContentDeliveryManager,SecurityCenter

    If I use the "Disable Windows 11 Installer Hardware Check" tweak and install this iso on a compatible PC
    who wouldn't need it, could it cause problems given the additions to the registry??

    Does anyone know if there will be a new version of Toolkit and is it worth the wait?

    in the future there surely will be update, but why wait for a new version if current one is working ?

    Maybe because for most people the current version just doesn't work?)

    If you know the correct sequence of how to clean Windows of the latest version 22621 or 22631 as much as possible without errors at the installation stage, I will be glad to hear.

    Because, personally, I have been waiting for the update for two month now, because no matter what options I try, there is always an error during installation.

    I'll probably agree. Lately, only the numbers change from version to version. Let's say a copilot appeared at 22631... It seems that the benefit from this is no less than in slippery Android app support.

    In light of my impressions and experiences so far, I have learned that using the base (xxxxx.1) version of the relevant Windows distribution instead of the latest Windows version that supports MSMG is the most effective and problem-free method (as possible).
    Also, the procedure I follow is what is written step-by-step in the current README.txt file, without ignoring the side notes.
    I think and hope friends with similar experiences will confirm me.

    Sequence is really extremely simple, worked it out myself took me like half a year actually dealing with windows 11 pro.

    Get yourself 22621.1 just download from uup without updates. then use toolkit to remove whatever you want to remove. then install windows.

    then run cmd
    sfc /scannow you likely will get error that corrected itself.
    then run
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    it will take time after that run
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    after that you will see errors i was unable correct these errors myself no matter what i did its something to do with msmg toolkit.
    its an old error affecting all win 11 versions and the only way to bypass it was to never run dism resetbase or component cleanup yet to correct it

    using windows update or wumt or similar after you installed 22621.1 update windows to 22621.2823 as i did it doesnt include copilot nor backup app, or to 22631 with a bit more mscrapwae. after update only few aps will get reinstalled after rebooting open regedit go tp svchost
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
    remove Usosvc from netsvcs in that way your windows updates will get disabled as if you paused it, but you will still be able to use msstore, wumt and similar to install updates or you can just simply add usosvc to netsvcs to enable windows updates whenever you want

    updating windows from 22621.1 to next version next any version pros of doing it is that dism resetbase, component cleanup will work again and if you run scanhealth you will get no errors

    minus is that if you update to 22631 you will get windows backup app which you wont be able to remove you will also get defender and few other apps you will have to disable if you wanted it disabled its simple just again disable tamper protection in regedit after booting into safe mode. then again in safe mode using autoruns disable all tasks you dont want plus disable all apps you dont want including defender.

    i would also advice to disable dcom over regedit its simple just google it.

    also would advice to if you can go to bios and enable intel dynamic tuning technology if you do that and you got asus motherboard then after doing it download driver for your motherboard from asus website or else motherboard you got from,
    pros of doing it is that windows willl calm down means after you removed all that interconnected crapware msware from your windows iso there will always be missing links you will get errors in even viewer you will see system interrupts running at 1 or 2 or more percent after enabling IDTT nothing is running on my pc. after i boot up cpu goes down to 0.1 and 0 percent at 0.45ghz and no service is running no system interrupts etc. i only was able to achieve it using ltsb 2016 but never win 11 pro.

    plus you can do a few tweaks like
    .\SU64 /w /s Powershell "LS HKLM:\SOFTWARE -Recurse -ea 0|? Name -M 'smartscreen'|RI -Recurse"
    to remove remnants of smartscreen running in task manager after you removed smartscreen with msmg toolkit.

    then when you finish setting up your windows open dism++ go to toolkit, system backup and create backup.wim you can restore anytime you want i always do that for example created iso with msmg toolkit, installed it then make backup.wim with dism++ then tweak things over and over remove disable stuff in regedit etc. making backup.wim sometimes so if
    sfc /scannow
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth shows errors after i removed something i shouldnt and i cant correct it i can always easily use backup.wim takes 3 min to restore windows.

    hope i could help

    I thought windows backup was part of the remove list for msmg toolkit?
    if this new version is seperate could this component be added?
    I hope your health sir msmg is doing well.
    I am not going to ask you for when the next version is being released.
    take care sir.

    I am trying to write a script to automate the allocation of drive letters on systems with Windows installed from the images created with the toolkit.
    Using powershell the get-partition, get-volume... in fact all storage related commands return nothing.
    Is there a component that needs to be retained for powershell's storage commands to work?

    I want the RAM disk to be on B:, when deployed I export these registry keys from the previously installed one to the new one

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices]
    "\\DosDevices\\C:"=hex:9b,92,db,ba,00,00,10,00,00,00,00,00
    "\\DosDevices\\D:"=hex:ec,35,0f,61,00,00,10,00,00,00,00,00
    "\\DosDevices\\B:"=hex:bf,d5,7a,d9,00,00,10,00,00,00,00,00

    P.S.

    This is a method of assigning drive letters according to your wishes, and not randomly
    As I understand, you want to automate the process of assigning drive letters as you wish?
