MSMG ToolKit

After I remove the windows update, the language-related components automatic update popup error, how to modify the registry entry to prohibit the language-related components automatic update?Thanks a bunch for helping me out with this question.

 

not sure if that will satisfy you but to disable autoupdates open registry go here
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
on the right, find and double click on netsvcs find Usosvc and delete it close netsvcs close registry reboot. Autoupdates will be disabled

 

This may be the registry related to system updates, I have removed system updates, so there is no such entry, but my language-related components, such as handwriting, voice, etc. in the language options will still check for updates.

 

Maybe disabling these schedule tasks can help

Code:

"Microsoft\Windows\International\Synchronize Language Settings"
"Microsoft\Windows\LanguageComponentsInstaller\Installation"
"Microsoft\Windows\LanguageComponentsInstaller\Uninstallation"
"Microsoft\Windows\LanguageComponentsInstaller\ReconcileLanguageResources"

 

Ok, I'll try

 

I'm also having this problem with 23H2. I know that MSMG Toolkit does not yet officially support it, but the dev is having problems with their farm and might not be able to update the tool for a long time.

Is there a way to diagnose this issue? Sihost.exe appears to have been unchanged compared to 22H2, but explorer.exe has been updated. Copying explorer.exe from 22H2 to the 23H2 installation did not help. The popup happens a few times before it stops. It gets stuck on the post-installation screen where it says to wait. After 15+ minutes it changes to a black screen and there's no desktop, no start menu, nothing. But you can open the Task Manager using CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and from there you can actually open explorer and use it without issue, but still without a desktop. BTW I made my setup unattended and removed OOBE.

One more thing, why doesn't MSMG Toolkit remove wua* and wup* dlls? AME script deletes those files. I manually deleted them, but it would be nice if it could do it as part of the Windows Update component removal.

 

toolkit doesnt remove wuau nor it does wups in win 11 but i didn't disable nor remove windows updates inside toolkit.
you dont have to delete these files at all to disable auto updates.

as to first part not sure why do you want to move files from 22h2 to 23h2?
if you need 23h2 so badly what i would do is
go to uup dump choose 23h2 download uup dump files. open config and disable all the bloat uup dump let you to disable then let uup dump create iso, use rufus burn it to usb while in rufus disable tpm check, install 23h2.

disable tamper protection in registry
then use autoruns in safe mode to disable services, defender whatever you like, remove disabled services from svchost in registry at least some not all if you want to ms store to work
disable updates by removing usosvc from netsvcs in svchost in registry

you can also use dism++ to remove some apps if you still want to remove some
you can disable and remove edge copilot if you want there are many tutorials on how to do it and its very simple.


so you dont really need toolkit to customise 23h2

 

Hello. Help me understand whether it is possible to remove unnecessary localizations from the Windows 7 8.1 10 11 distribution with this program, if not, can the script be modified by adding the function of removing localizations?

 

What are wua* and wup* dlls for?

 

its wuaueng.dll and wups.dll both related to windows updates but also to ms store and etc, shouldn't be removed from the system as there are better ways of disabling windows updates.

 

you probably are talking about geolocation i dont think its even possible to fully disable geolocation as whenever you connect to the internet windows and other apps like chrome will use your ip to find your location.

 

No, I mean language packs!

 

If the ISO already has the LP's you would probably be able to remove them the same you remove packages?

 

you surely can use msmg toolkit to remove or add language packs to iso you want to create.
you also can use dosm++ or ps or cmd and likely many other tools.

 

I did not find the menu msmg toolkit item to remove the localization, can you help me in this matter?

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

I can't, since windows is packaged in an install.wim file, and has several revisions, I thought the program msmg toolkit could do it !

 

msmg toolkit can remove whatever you want including language packs.
if you know or youre able to find language packs you want to remove their names you can add it to

RemovePkgsList

\Toolkit\Bin\Lists

 

@Jingzin. Thanks for the explanation.

 

I installed an iso without defender and security but I didn't consider update would bring defender back.
Trouble is, I don't have Windows Security installed. I installed the SecHealthUI appx but even so I am not able to open it.

Do you know how I can install Windows Security?
