Hi, maybe asking before, but did not found the answer. Question: What are the components not to remove in order not to break windows update for windows Iot 10 21h2 ? I would like to remove as much I don't need . Thanks.
I tried to use another toolkit from this forum called DISMTools but I had no luck in removing as much as I could with MSMG Toolkit. Today I found UnattendedWinstall which uses autounattended.xml to remove components and set settings. But can it make windows install better/same as MSMG or does toolkit add some scripts or other tricks that for example prevent removed components from reinstall action or allow to login with local account not Microsoft (I know that toolkit does that) that autounattended.xml don't have? Thanks for answer.
Thank you so much for effort you put in explaining it all. I will most likely try it. I'm using windows defender and windows update for security and stability reasons, but appart from that, I debloat all I can. I was just thinking about updating to 24h2 from 22h2 which I debloated with MSMG. It worked perfectly for a long time but recently I was getting error 0x80070490 from DeviceSetupManager and my mouse was disconnecting 2-3 times a day due to problems with installing drivers. I checked everything and only after changing Device Installation Settings to "No" it fixed it somehow that I don't get errors in Event Viewer, but it still does disconnects one or twice a week at random. I figured it might to do something with how debloated windows is with msmg and even though I kept Windows updated and driver updates, it somehow fails. So I thought debloating 24h2 with something else will help. Thanks again for help.
Or your mouse or Bluetooth is failing I'm too on 22h2 22621.2283 been trying 24h2 pro and iot ltsc but 22h2 is just lighter you can remove disable tweak whatever you like and it works better vs 24h2.
@ @MSMG Why does the application version target limited Windows builds? Would it be difficult to make this generic and scan the packages in the ISO and remove them accordingly?
On June 9th I asked this question; https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-1354#post-1839908 The answer was that there is no difference in the DISM command. It doesn't work. I finally got round to updating my Realtek Audio Console using the msixbundle and got this error; Code: 2024-07-22 16:31:47, Info DISM DISM Appx Provider: PID=4412 TID=3572 onecore\admin\appmodel\utilities\provisionhelper\msixpackageadapter.cpp (1518) - MsixPackage::Provisioning::Library::MsixPackageAdapter::IsPackageFramework [Msg] - No package reader found for RealtekSemiconductorCorp.RealtekAudioControl_2.51.336.0_neutral_~_dt26b99r8h8gj, expected for bundles. - CAppxManager::InformationLoggingCallback 2024-07-22 16:31:48, Error DISM DISM Appx Provider: PID=4412 TID=3572 onecore\admin\appmodel\utilities\provisionhelper\MsixModules.h(320)\AppxProvider.dll!00007FFF627E0AEE: (caller: 00007FFF627DCC8F) ReturnHr(1) tid(df4) 80073CFD A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied. What is the package reader to which the error refers?
Wonderful This $h#t just gets worse by the day.. The msix files are 3 times the size of the appx files and you don't dare remove components because you'll break something else...
@Jingzin, Thanks for that tip to use older version of Autoruns. I had been slavishly updating the program and recently noticed on v 14.11 I had to manually change registry permissions or open up the startup folder to delete or disable listed auto-start items I didn't want. Older version is a big time saver. Should have figured as much since Sysinternals paycheck comes from MS. The older version is also half the file size as the newest version, so there's that too. Also, does anyone else have a guide or more detail on the Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost key? Process Hacker shows dozens of svchost processes running on my PC and I'm sure half of them are unnecessary.
Hi! Regarding "Ghost SFC error": - What is it? - How do it shows to the user or slipstreamer? (so I can acknowledge it; if you can post an image, the better) - Why people call it like this? - How Is it related to "Ghost Spectre" (AFAIK, it's a minimal win10 "version" or "distribution" or whatever) I know that it can appear when applying a cleanup to windows 10/11 source images, but simply I've never seen or heard that. Thanks.
That's because M$ split out every process into it's own svchost process thinking since RAM is plentiful there's no need to combine them. WinAero Tweaker has an option to set svchost threashold above the top of RAM which causes the svchost processes to re-combine. I have 11 svchosts handling all the tasks. I've not had any crashes or issues since I started doing this many years ago. You can set this via the registry thus; Code: REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control" /v SvcHostSplitThresholdInKB /d 0x040CFD18 /t REG_DWORD /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control" /v SvcHostSplitThresholdInKB /d 0x040CFD18 /t REG_DWORD /f I have 64GB of RAM so 0x040CFD18 is the upper address that forces the processes to be recombined.
youre probably talking about ghost dism error dont even remember if sfc was showing error too. af far as i know it affects only win 11 patched with msmg toolkit. means if you use msmg toolkit to strip down windows 11 after you create iso and install it and run Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase then Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth you will get error which you wont be able to fix with Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /RestoreHealth took me a while but i fixed it by simply installing next kb update then uninstalling it. after doing it error was gone permanently and never showed up again. but i had to manually revert back few changes update did during installation.
@Jingzin. I've got 47 services disabled so most of the stuff you describe, like Xbox processes and Windows update, don't show up in my Svchost. @Yanta. I've got 64gb of ram too, so I tried the REG modifications. But it didn't trim down the 31 processes I had running before on Windows 11. But thank you both for the tips. I will try them on my Windows 10 box at work.
the trick/tweak yanta talked about it doesnt stop nor remove any running tasks or services it combines them they will still be there even you will see in task manager less processes running. Its pointless tweak really
It may be pointless, but I'd rather have 50 processes running after boot that 96. The overall memory usage with them combined is less too. Every PCs RAM is different. 64GB on my PC is probably different to 64GB on your PC. If you want to "try it" grab a copy of WinAero and set it that way. That will give you your RAMs proper value. And if you find it's as useless as @Jingzin says it is, you can always set it back. Any posts I make will always be relevant to WIndows 10. I have no idea if they will work on Windows 11 as I will never use the OS.
hi guys, does anyone know how to download Microsoft.RawImageExtension_8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppxBundle a version lower than 2.0? I can't find it, maybe someone have it or knows how to download it, because the search only gives new ones, and in the archives the oldest one is 2.0. I get this message, so I think I need 1.9 or near "ver 2.0.61662 - need 10.0.18362.0 or upper。your OS is 10.0.17763.316。"
