hello again, i have a situation that i cannot find where the issue is. whenever i use MSGM tool V13 and above on win10 v 21h1 , 21h2, 22h1 . after i finish all my selections to keep or remove, once i apply changes and start building the Final iso, i kept observing the DVD folder, at the very end when the process is about to complete, the Setup.exe + autorun + support all 3 gets deleted from the DVD folder that copied for customization, and therefore the created ISO finishes also missing all 3 files, so no boot or anything i tried many many things for over 3 hours , nothing seem to work
everytime i select from source in the MSGM V13 and above, it says " this windows version does not support custom component removal "" maybe thats why the Setup.exe gets deleted while building the ISO using old version MSGM like 11.8 seems to fix the issue, even though newest MSGM versions have much more features but yeah
Just a piece of "FYI" learned experience/trial and error from using MSMG for others. Now, I am not 100% sure this is the cause but it's the only thing I can think of. If you remove Telemetry from Windows 10 with this, it seems to break Windows Night Light (if you care). Doing so on an LTSC 21H2 iso resulted in Night Light not functioning, meanwhile using the otherwise much more "aggressive" Slimdown10 script on a regular Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2, which does not remove telemetry, the Night Light still works. That was the only down side to removing Telemetry that I found.
hi, you must retain the folowing component for your situation to not happen again. ManualSetup please report back telling us if this works for you. thanks! Majid
I sed once that I would never ask but msmg, toolkit, left us? is all well? tomorrow it will have been a full year since his last release. @MSMG, whereever you are sir, I hope your health and life is well. I don't want anything happening to you. you've given us so much for which I will be forever thankfull. thank you @MSMG.
since we don't know of msmg's status, a question. what are you all using to perform the same actions as msmg toolkit did? what apps are you using now?
To exclude apps from my image, I am using UUP dump to stop most the apps I don't need from being installed. Of course I do miss the tweaks from MSMG's ToolKit, but I feel my current option works best for me right now. I really hope that we see @MSMG again and I honestly believe he may return. When he does return I hope he can continue his great work, but I do wonder if the ToolKit is now too much for him to continue alone.
Hello! Can anyone who has done a very easy Windows 10 22H2 share their proven RemovePkgsList.txt list for the latest OS versions? And also explain, this list specifies both apps and packages... If this list narrows both, then another file RemoveAppsList.txt - can I not use it? I don't quite understand some points: For example, on an already installed system, I removed the User Experience Desktop package, and MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS was automatically removed along with it. I did not notice any problems in the system after that. But I do not find User Experience Desktop in the examples... maybe it has a different name in the list?
what was the exact name of the package you removed? once you can tell us this information, i'll try to find it, how did you remove this package?
replying to myself, found where you removed the spesified package list from, c:\windows\serviceing\packages. here are the packages I found, Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794.cat Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794.mum microsoft-windows-userexperience-desktop-package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912.cat microsoft-windows-userexperience-desktop-package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912.mum Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1.cat Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1.mum Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794.cat Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794.mum Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912.cat Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912.mum remove the .mum and the .cat file extentions from these, filenames, then paste in RemovePkgsList.txt so should look something like this. Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794 microsoft-windows-userexperience-desktop-package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912 microsoft-windows-userexperience-desktop-package-Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5794 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912 Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.5912 in toolkit remove packages using option 3 in remove submenu. you will be given an option remove using dism or remove using toolkit-helper. choose the dism methord. the packages above will be removed.
I have already found the answers to my questions. To make it clearer, I will explain: Initially, I tried to remove the UserExperience-Desktop package on the installed system using the DISM command. Just to check if this method works. The package was removed, and along with it, the MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS package was automatically removed. Then I wanted to remove UserExperience-Desktop from the image in MSMG ToolKit. Since I have not used it before, I had some difficulties understanding how to do this correctly, but I figured it out. As a result, UserExperience-Desktop was removed from the image, and along with it, MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS was automatically removed, just like it was on the running system. Thus, I found the answer to my question - will MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS be removed along with UserExperience-Desktop? Yes. I didn't use the full package name in the RemovePkgsList.txt file, I specified this name and it worked. Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package I'm running the latest Windows 10 Pro 19045.5859
Now I have the following problem - I can't remove any applications by list. I see many examples where full names, short names, or abbreviated names are used. Somewhere they are added to the RemovePkgsList.txt file, and somewhere to RemoveAppsList.txt, but wherever I add them, and which option of removing by list I don't use, it always says that the package has already been removed. Where would be the right place to put such a list?
