    hi,
    a question.
    I have a machine from 2012.
    4gb ram an I3 processer 465gb disk.
    if intensive task is ran on it, the device will shut down due to overheating.
    I don't like E waste. so my question.
    will msmg toolkit aid me in lightening the load of the machine?
    prevent overheating?
    this device will be most likely be used by my family not me.
    will be used for office like tasks web-browsing etc.
    the none geeky serious stuff :)
    I will be very greatful for your answers.
    my family can't even now believe I can do all of this stuff, what with being blind and all.
    thank you for reading my long question.
    Majid

    it depends on why your laptop is overheating if because of heatsinks inside are clogged msmg toolkit wont help you much. Until recently i was using desktop from 2009 and win 11 on it so surely you can run win 11 on your laptop.

    msmg toolkit will help you remove lots of apps from windows make it use less ram but it wont do magic.

    you can also download ltsc or even ltsb windows version theyre based on windows 10 those are free of most ms crapware so you could try it and see how it runs on your laptop.

    What make/model is your laptop? The first thing I would do is replace the thermal compound, which is the paste between your CPU and heatsink. While the laptop is apart and you have the heatsink out, take the fan and heatsink outside and use soft brush to get rid of the dust. If you can't see light at the other side of the heatsink, it is blocked and air won't get past to cool your chips.

    The best thing is to try and find out that's what I usually do, even when people say it won't work. I'm 99 percent sure that the toolkit works against 19045.3693

    Is it normal that there are no official communications about an update for MSMGToolkit?

    Hi dear friend @MrNico98

    He's got a lot of work to do, and it's not just the work he does here for free to everyone, but don't think he doesn't care about what happens here, because he does, he just, like most here, can't work 24 hours a day to solve everything that comes up, because even if there were 48 hours in a day, I wouldn't be able to solve everything...

    Be patient and when he can he will post an update and answer any questions he can to provide an appropriate opinion and solution.

    Be sure to post your doubts and experiences, as these are the keys to opening the doors to solutions.

    A Big hug and googd computing.
    Best Regards.

    Is it possible to prevent updates from installing removed packages?

    The only way to deal with this is to disable updates and then build a new image when you want to update (with matching removals) and then do an in place upgrade.

    Personally, I don't remove the stuff that comes back, too much a PITA to keep on top of.

    So I decided to reinstall 10 on my older system for the time being. Got my iso from OS dot Click
    extracted it to the DVD folder
    Got this message when I selected 10 pro
    "The selected source image build does not support custom component removal, how it supports DISM component removal"
    I don't recall that from my last go around with MSMG. What do I need to konw?

    1) The iso files from Microsoft directly do not work.
    2) The iso files from uupdump.net with both "Include updates (Windows converter only" and "Run component cleanup" do not work.
    2.1) but without them works (at least for me it did)

    3) One can still do the component removal stuff with msmg without the "custom component removal". For that
    3.1) one uses the "Remove Windows Components Using Package List" -> "ToolKitHelper Method".
    3.2) Navigate to the extracted msmg folder "\Toolkit_v13.6\Bin\Lists" and open "RemovePkgsList.txt". The file is empty; here you put any custom components you want to remove.
    3.2) You find the example list in "Toolkit_v13.6\Bin\Lists\ToolkitHelper_Templates". Right now it's "RemovePkgsList_W11_10.0.2262X" and "RemovePkgsList_W11_10.0.22000" or the Win8/10 ones.
    3.3) The 160 lines long example list is mostly in chronological order. Just copy the names from the msmg menu and search them in the example list, then add them to the empty list.

    Btw. With this method, I found out irremovable (marked with an asterisk in msmg components menu) components can be removed.
    E.g. "Menu 1: Internet", Edge, WebView and Internet Explorer from the Win 11 iso that can't be removed (nothing happens when selecting 1,2,3) can be removed that way.

    Good day,
    having an unwanted behavior after first steps of the Windows 11 23H2 installation; it fails to finish installation eventually.
    Anyone want want to help or have ideas?

    1) used latest "Windows 11, version 23H2 (22631.2715) amd64" from uupdump.net.
    2) Did not tick "Include updates (Windows converter only" and"Run component cleanup", because only that way I could remove custom components with MSMG
    3) Succesfully removed stuff from latest Win 23H2 Pro iso with the msmg v13.6 etc. pp.
    4) created bootable usb-stick etc. pp. and then finished the first part of the installation. After that setup says "Need to restart in 10 seconds".
    5) Okay, restarts successfully. After that does some stuff successfully and restarts again.
    6) After that it loads the setup for the last finish on a black background, but then a popup appears during that, displaying "Installation failed. Please install again".

    And that's it. Already tried multiple times using different languages, regions, partitions etc. Always failes after third and last restart of the installation.
    Looking at the hard drive containing the installation from another OS installation: everything looks okay. The usual folders and files were created.

    Thanks in advance.
