MSMG ToolKit

Does anyone know how to remove the following 2 components with DISM commands:
1. New BingNews that Microsoft places into "Windows\InboxApps" directory starting with build 22631.2787 (or 22631.2792)
2. Sleep Study

is this a privisioned app package?
"Microsoft.BingSearch_8wekyb3d8bbwe".
why not use dism tools?
gui to dism which can be found on this site?

 

No, it is not and DISM tools do not see it as a provisioned package. It is the new type of MSIX bloatware now placed in "Windows\InboxApps" along with other MSIX packages, such as FlipGrid PWA and Outlook PWA.

 

I remove Parental Controls and WSA works (unless something recently changed).

hi,
@MSMG

would it be possible to make component removal more granuler?
regarding the folowing app?
MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy
it would be great if the folowing components could be removed individually?
if not all of them then the folowing ones.
WindowsBackupClient.exe
installed after the very latest cu was installed.
TextInputHost.exe
ScreenClippingHost.exe
IrisServiceProduct.exe

the rest are what i've found while browsing the fs.


RulesEngineProduct.exe
AccountsServiceProduct.exe

thank you for your considderation,
the main app is the windows backup client.

            )
        )>>%ImageInfo%
    )
)

type "%ImageInfo%"

As you can see I have added /English.
This will work in wherever UIlanguage system you use.

 

What is the name of the software to download Windows iso? I want to download 23H2 V2, the first version of V2, the last one on the Microsoft website seemed to have some lag in some online games.

What do tweaks regarding windows defender, smart screen and windows update In "Customize" > "Apply Tweaks" do if you remove these packages via "Remove Windows Components"? Do those tweaks become redundant?

Another thing I have a problem with is "Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-en-us-Package" apparently being a permanent package? Removing it via "DISM Method" gives me an error, even though it's an "OnDemand Pack" and not even a Language Pack. I don't think it was like that in much older versions of the toolkit.

Hi, Windows updates often reinstall removed components, is there a way to remove components on an installed system using MSMG toolkit?

Also, does MSMG toolkit remove all telemetry and spyware?

 

if you update from 22h2 to 23h2 then some of the ms apps get reinstalled like for example edge if you removed it. if youre on 22h2 and just install some minor update then nothing will get reinstalled.

you can use msmg toolkit to remove most telemetry and spyware surely not everything as even settings app sends data to ms.

you cant use msmg toolkit to remove apps from installed os only works against iso to remove things from installed os use dism ps and or bloatynosey you can find it on github and many other similar tools.

best way to do it is to remove everything before you install OS also disable updates, that's how i always do. removing apps and services from installed OS from one way to other causes issues interruptions and event viewer errors

 

hi!

DisableFeatureslist is empty


How i remove a list if is empty?

 

smiled a bit for a sec. well yeah how do you remove features if the list is empty. Well list exists for you to add packages features apps services you want to remove if you want to use list.

you can use dism to get packages and features from an offline or online wim. you can also use dism++ to mount wim youre playing with and get names of features packages on wim youre playing with. Copy names paste them to the features list you want to remove, or you likely can do that even within toolkit itself never did that myself.

 

In theory, could you use this tool to integrate the 22h2 update into LTSC?
