MSMG ToolKit

OK, after a lot of research these days i can say definetly the problem is working with a syspreped image... and don't know how to fix it / what im doing wrong.

If i work without a sysprep install.wim from the original Win10 Enterprise RS2 June Refresh the Metro APPs gets removed fine.

And if it's a syspreped (sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown) install.wim (Windows 10 Enterprise RS2 June Refresh iso) without any modification (no .NET integration, no libraries or anything installed) and i even tried the three ways of capturing the image explained by Enthousiast here, after that i just launch MSMG Toolkit and again without integrating anything at all i tried to remove the APPs, always with the same result regarding this issue...

 

Is there any chance of having the XP Internet games working on Windows 10? I am speaking of Reversi, Hearts, Backgammon, etc.

 

Was wondering if anyone out there in the tweaking community would know how to extract Factory Install WIM or ESD files from recovery partitions and create ISO's out of them to reinstall a factory OS in the event that boot flags or minor corruption cause those computers to no longer boot or properly access recovery options. Assuming those factory install files are still in good shape of course... TIA, Cheers!

 

Hi,
You know if it is possible to disable Windows Update and continue to use Windows Defender without problems ?

Thank you.

 

I have no clue, but why would you subject yourself to a whole host of issues not updating Windows?

 

In my entourage these are the updates that cause problems, I prefer to update when there is a big update like Creators (via ISO). I do not use Windows Defender but I'm curious.

 

Yes i do

If you use MSMG ToolKit, mount registry and execute the following entries :

Code:

reg add "HKLM\TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

It will block Windows Update but you can re-enable it by changing the value to 0
It doesn't block the Windows Store Apps updates as long as you keep the Windows Update service enable (manual).
But you can block all Windows Update, including Store Apps, with the following entries :

Code:

reg add "HKLM\TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

(Wow6432Node is only for x64 system)

i use first method and it works manually or with a daily/weekly schedule task.
the second method works as well

 

It's good to know, merci !

 

And that way wannacry exploits were made possible.

 

Not because it's incompatible with the Creators Update. WannaCry was made possible because of stupid people.

 

Yes, people who didn't update regularly

 

No people who open anything (either on Linux or OSX), no need to update frequently to avoid WannaCry (I have proved it). Now I could talk about the idiots who have the blocked PC to update ?

 

If you don't update you are just opening the door to a world of problems.

 

Wasn't the problem that caused attacks like wannacry simply solved by just installing the march updates?

No need to call people idiots (some are but no need to call them that)...

 

SMB 1.0 fixed in 15063.0

 

Leaves Win XP/Vista/7/8.x/10240/10586/14393.

 

But:

Zanza-kun has build 15063

 

Wannacry was possible because of NSA
