MSMG ToolKit

After you have MOUNTED THE REGISTRY in MSMG toolkit run this command. Then UNMOUNT REGISTRY, COMMIT and UNMOUNT install.wim

Code:

reg add "HKLM\TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowCortana" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowCortanaAboveLock" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

ty very much

from this menu, how do i apply these scripts?

 

Extract ISO with install.wim to DVD folder. Run toolkit cmd as admin, select source select from DVD folder, select version to mount, you do not need to mount boot.wim or recovery. Then you go to tools, options, mount registry, then run the command file, then tools options unmount registry, then 6) apply, then commit. I am doing this from memory, but you can follow along.

 

i go tool options mount registery but then there is no place to run the code you set. i am not able to copy paste into the MSMG toolkit interface

 

You save the code as a cmd file. Open text edit, copy and paste. Save as whatever_you_want.cmd. Save it to where ever you want it, mount the registry in the toolkit, then right click the cmd and run as administrator. After you run it, carry on in the MSMG toolkt.

 

i get the it now

the MSMG loaded register into the temp registery

the changes we made there will be reflected

 

does it matter if i do this before removing other components or later?

 

Actually it will load the registry under this name TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE. You can also manually tweak the registry using regedit. Open it and see under HKLM for the name TK_HKLM_SOFTWARE. Do the tweaks and unmount the registry.

 

It doesn't, just skip the cortana and search app in remove windows components.

 

ISO is ready

time to try

by the way size is reduced like 500mb

 

Let us know!

 

looks fine so far

 

A question for MSMG:
Retail demo offline content cannot be removed from LTSB with the toolkit because it isn't there (supposedly).
But after deploying, doing a "disk cleanup", retail demo offline content is offered for removal (some 16MB).

Why is this happening?

Cheers.

 

To Supern00b sorry dude but which version you are using? if Toolkit v7.5 no issues because I'm using now 2016 LTSB and works like a charm

 

Well I did not try to remove it with toolkit version 7.5, because it had never worked anyway.
Perhaps I should try again and see if it can be removed, in previous versions I got "package not found" error.

Cheers.

 

OK, well I'm sure that you make use of Toolkit V7.5 you reach sucess trust me so try again and follow all steps

 

windows 10 build 1607

Any chance you can update .NET 4.7 packs with the latest patches?
