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。"
@MSMG found a bug in the latest 13.7.7 toolkit. When use it against 11 22H2 22621.2283 then install, windows updates are broken, while trying to install any update I get error. But when using toolkit 13.6.7 no windows update errors.
Please, fix error dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth (after removing Edge and some other components from the image)
Don't think it can be fixed it's an old error that affects every win 11 ver. Either don't ever use dism reset base or dism++ etc to clean sxs folders Or after patching win 11 with toolkit and installing it install next kb update that will fix scanhealth error then uninstall update
I have never understood MSMG Toolkit's varying behaviors with the DISM command. For example, I just recently used MSMG v.13.6 on Windows 11, version 23H2, Image Version, 10.0.22631. Of the DISM RemovePkgstList.txt items selected for removal, MGMG nuked everything except System Retore and Edge. Fortunately, Edge can be removed after setup from Windows' programs list, although the program subdirectory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\EdgeUpdater" remains as well as the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft subfolders for Edge. The crazy thing is I have used this exact same RemovePkgstList.txt on Windows Windows 10 build 19041 and Windows 11 22H2 and gotten different results: Edge was removed in 22H2 with WebView2 remaining intact but not in Windows 10 build 19041, which I could only remove using MSMG menu custom removal choices. Otherwise, for those who are curious, MSMG removes quite a bit from Windows 11, version 23H2, including Media Player , Photo Viewer, Face Recognition and a bunch of other half-baked applications. One other issue, though. 23H2 does a terrible job of handling the SetupComplete.cmd in $OEM$. Half the applications would not auto-install, including most critically the program AutoIt, which I use to script unattended installs of most of my apps. I think it was a permissions issue since the scripts would display in Notepad rather than execute the scripted commends.
