    I don't think you would appreciate my meaning about teamos, and even less about that iso you shared...

    Have no idea what "like urs means" in this context.

    @longbeard that's not "his" download page. It's a link to the files he hosted via his account on a 3rd party website. Said account isn't "physically" related to his actual website msmgtoolkit.in.

    While I don't like the idea, I don't think MSMG is coming back any time soon.

    I remember him having to help his family on the farm and not being able to maintain his projects, let's hope it is the same now :)

    Sometimes passion projects take a back seat when that energy is needed elsewhere. This tool got me into customizing images and lead me to finding other related tools. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat. A lot of good came from this project.

    Can the same be done by pair save/restore commands
    LGPO.exe /b path - save GPO
    LGPO.exe /g path - restore GPO?

    I wish the developer the best with his personal life. MSMG Toolkit was the best free alternative to NTLite, which is quite pricey at $46.

    Nobody knows. We haven't heard from the author for over a year. We hope he's okay.

    Thank you very much for your reply

    Someone has a new package Microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OnDemand-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64, the old package is not integrated into the Windows 11 Pro image in MSMG Toolkit

    As we all know, MS is no longer interested in innovating. They just want to stockpile your personal data for AI use and deliver ads to your computer monitor. MSMG was a a great tool for stopping a lot of MS shenanigans. And it is still great for integrating the following: languages, drivers , fonts, DotNet 3.5 functionality, user account images and startmenu shortcuts. But, after a lot of testing, I find it has become less useful with Windows 11 24H2 for component removal.

    I now use MSMG Toolkit in combination with UUP Dump and a custom autounattend.xml file to remove apps and tweak Windows 11.

    Sometimes I don't know if it is worth the effort since there are a whole lot of things in Windows 11 24H2 that MS hasn't fixed or made worse. Windows 11 still displays double removable drive icons when you plug in a usb drive, Windows' sleep and hibernation are still unreliable and installing .msi apps that rely on "msiexec.exe" is now painfully slow. Many users report that it takes over 15 minutes now to install Microsoft Office.

    So, I have modified my MSMG Toolkit guide to reflect the best clean install practices for those users, like me, that still use MSMG Toolkit. Note that some users, including me, have had issues using %OEM% setup. So the guide shows you how to copy files directly to the Windows setup folder for execution during setup.

    Link is, below, in my signature file.
