@mhussain. I know you said money is an issue. But I would recommend buying a small capacity PCIe Gen4 3 NVMe M.2 SSD for your main OS drive, if your motherboard supports it. Keep your current HD and pick a 256GB M.2 up for less than $30 new at Amazon. (Windows only needs less than 100GB of disk space. Clean install Windows to the m.2 (your C:\ drive) and keep all your programs, games and Microsoft Office on your old HD (D:\ DRIVE). You will have a much faster PC and plenty of disk storage space.
In 2013, if I'm not mistaken, there was no support for m.2 nvme (it was not an available technology) and m.2 sata was only available for high-end motherboards. He would have to buy an adapter card, to use with PCI-e x1 or x2 (just not to use the Main PCI-Express - but at that time the mobos used to come with more standard PCI-E slots) or use a 2.5" SATA SSD.
@inTerActionVRI. That's why I said "if your motherboard supports it." But if the OP is currently using disk HD, even a regular, low capacity, SSD drive would improve performance and would likely cost even less than an M.2.
Few weeks ago sold used msi 1060 fully working, m2 Kingston 500gb, few wifi mouses one was steel series Logitech Microsoft. Bluetooth receiver asus bt400, PCI card for m2 with heatsink, Samsung ssd 200gb, for $50, 2x2tb western hdds 10 year old went into trash and so did asus mb cpu and ddr3 and case, psu, gtx 1660, I think I still have Kingston m2 2tb one left 100% life left in it as I only tested it if anyone fancy having it. My current pc Case some chinese atx I5 12400f One case fan DDR 4 16gb Gtx 1060 And a few m2 drives best one I tested and would recommend is Kingston kc3000 they're cheap and very reliable and good performance.
Hey @MSMG or anyone else in the know. I've ticked Windows update, Windows Upgrade and Recommended in the compatibility section in remove components, however when trying to update either via windows update or the cumulatives from Microsoft catalogue, they don't work and say install error - failed... Anyone got any hot tips as to why this might be. I would have thought the compatibility option would be there to ensure it works but must be missing something else. Ive tried with leaving, edge, defender in the iso as well cos I know they are closely entertwined, but still it didnt work. Thanks for anyone that can shed some light on this!! Cheers
what windows version ? hope not 24h2 as if you remove anything from iso wu wont install security updates. if 22h2 or 23h2 it works no issues and you can remove defender edge etc try wumt https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-update-minitool.64939/page-66#post-1841621 if it install updates. also i would try autoruns and type in it waas then bits wuaus dosvc usosvc to see if theyre marked they should be check date if set correctly you can also delete C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution reboot and try update again
wont be easy as for an average user in 24h2 microsoft havent made any real changes or even improvements over for example 22h2 but they made sure their junkware is well protected from you trying to remove it. you can already use msmg toolkit to remove packages from 24h2 just use toolkits pckage list. you can make you own list for example download 24h2 pro or better 24h2 iot ltsc, install it then open terminal type Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers then copy name of each package you would like to remove then paste those names in toolkit package removal list format your 24h2 use other os and msmg toolkit to remove packages you dont want the only minus is that if you do that windows updates wont let you install any security updates or upgrade to a higher version 24h2 and knowing 24h2 has tones of bugs for now its better to stay with 23h2 or even better 22h2 msmg toolkit aint able to remove sechealthui from 24h2 it throws error heres script i found somewhere if anyone would like to remove sechealthui from installed 24h2 $remove_appx = @("SecHealthUI"); $provisioned = get-appxprovisionedpackage -online; $appxpackage = get-appxpackage -allusers; $eol = @() $store = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore' $users = @('S-1-5-18'); if (test-path $store) {$users += $((dir $store -ea 0 |where {$_ -like '*S-1-5-21*'}).PSChildName)} foreach ($choice in $remove_appx) { if ('' -eq $choice.Trim()) {continue} foreach ($appx in $($provisioned |where {$_.PackageName -like "*$choice*"})) { $next = !1; foreach ($no in $skip) {if ($appx.PackageName -like "*$no*") {$next = !0}} ; if ($next) {continue} $PackageName = $appx.PackageName; $PackageFamilyName = ($appxpackage |where {$_.Name -eq $appx.DisplayName}).PackageFamilyName ni "$store\Deprovisioned\$PackageFamilyName" -force >''; $PackageFamilyName foreach ($sid in $users) {ni "$store\EndOfLife\$sid\$PackageName" -force >''} ; $eol += $PackageName dism /online /set-nonremovableapppolicy /packagefamily:$PackageFamilyName /nonremovable:0 >'' remove-appxprovisionedpackage -packagename $PackageName -online -allusers >'' } foreach ($appx in $($appxpackage |where {$_.PackageFullName -like "*$choice*"})) { $next = !1; foreach ($no in $skip) {if ($appx.PackageFullName -like "*$no*") {$next = !0}} ; if ($next) {continue} $PackageFullName = $appx.PackageFullName; ni "$store\Deprovisioned\$appx.PackageFamilyName" -force >''; $PackageFullName foreach ($sid in $users) {ni "$store\EndOfLife\$sid\$PackageFullName" -force >''} ; $eol += $PackageFullName dism /online /set-nonremovableapppolicy /packagefamily:$PackageFamilyName /nonremovable:0 >'' remove-appxpackage -package $PackageFullName -allusers >'' } } and if you would like to get rid of Backupapp from start menu just change SecHealthUI inside script to Client.CBS but as i said windows updates wont let you install updates anymore. maybe MSMG will work something out
hi all? what is the latest version of windows 10 iso that toolkit helper will run on? checked in changelog it's not mentioned. tryed this iso got error en-gb_windows_10_business_editions_version_22h2_updated_june_2024_x64_dvd_4d91a6b7.iso thanks for your help! Majid
don't mean to dubble post, but if i try that iso and try removeing components via toolkit helper would it work? if not could someone give me the file name of an iso that would work in the same way that I posted? Majid
Tried msmg toolkit against 24h2 iot ltsc. Many different combinations. Removing packages does work like for example defender and security, Couldn't remove only sechealthui Some package names in toolkits preset folders do exists others don't like edge for example. The main problem with the ToolKit is that no matter what I removed using it WU will refuse to install updates. Not sure if there's some policy that needs some kind of mod or what but as things are now better not to use toolkit against 24h2. If you're interested in 24h2 best option to tweak 24h2 I found and safest one is dark dinosaur script or ntlite
Good afternoon guys, tell me why I get this message, even though the image is already old Win 10 22h2 19045.2965 and Toolkit 13.7. I've read the README.txt, but it's not clear how to use Dism. I thought the version was already old and I’m worried that not everything that I choose will be removed from the image. Below is the toolkit message: 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. Do you want to continue ? ['Y'es/'N'o] :
This is a known issue regarding removing components via ToolkiHelper in builds not listed as supported. MSMG itself says that removing components in unsupported builds may have a problem with Windows Update. I discovered that the removal of CEIP, starting from 22621, causes problems with DISM when trying to enable some features after its removal. Considering this... We can assume that the problems with Windows Update may be related to this. Only with tests maintaining the CEIP to know if positive results occur. This doesn't cause any problems for me, as I do Inplace Upgrade when I want to update. And for this reason I always have my Windows Update turned off.
