Please do Wait for the next version. a) The removed stuffs don't return unless the update is a major thing. b) Integration of .NET FX, Drivers and ToolKit Packs works better without any issues.
@ All As I had specified in my previous posts, there was difficultly in removing components using the DISM package removal method due to many packages getting merged into one and also having issues like SFC or DISM /ScanHealth, /CheckHealth failing, Event viewer throwing Errors and also a lot of junk file/folders and registry entries left out. And So, I shifted to manual method of Component removal and worked out a mechanism for it and have been testing it for few weeks now and finally it's working properly without any issues like we had before as I said above. Although the new method is working perfectly, it has few issues like 1) The code size will increase due to manually removing the stuffs 2) Requires to Edit System XML files for some components 3) Requires Adding/Removing Registry Entries. 4) Requires Adding/Removing Multi-String Registry Entries which are usually in hex format 5) Needs Trusted-Installer Privilege to execute the above things. So, I did wrote a ToolKit Helper program for ToolKit Command-line Version which will do the above tasks and also re-wrote the ToolKit script to run using NSudo to have Trusted-Installer Privilege. And, Now when everything was going super fine testing with the Windows 10 RS3 en-GB ISO, the big hurdle started up when I used the en-US ISO. For each language there are few files/folder having there SHA-1 Hash at the end of it's name and so the file/folder names change, But I did worked out a fix for it. Now the problem is that even in the registry, there are few keys which differ fro each language and again also have the SHA-1 Hash in their Key names which needs to be fixed yet. Currently in the ToolKit helper program I have added only Windows Defender for removal and that too only for en-US and en-GB language images and it''s working properly. I'm looking for the the below ISO's for ToolKit, If anyone having this ISO and can upload it, it will be useful. mu_windows_10_language_pack_version_1709_updated_sept_2017_x86_x64_dvd_100090877.iso If anyone having a pre-integrated multi-language W10 Pro RS3 ISO it will be much more helpful as it will save a lot of time. I know many are waiting for the next release, please do wait for some more days.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATES! Really glad to hear the status and progress, I don't think anyone realized just how much work was involved to get this working. As far as donations, I recommend using a paypal.me address (so people don't see your real email). I would also like to donate to show my appreciation. Bitcoin is also a fantastic option (I recommend using Electrum for a wallet). I've heard google pay is good too, although I've never used it.
with this just tested on a fresh install. 2 separate pc. click sysinternalssuite folder (extracted) and simply ctrl-c ctrl-v. initial time = ~15 seconds (i7 4770, with ssd). subsequence ctrl-v are instant. ctrl-c ctrl-v on duped folders are slow the first time just as well. manually disabled windefender from windefender security center.; copy paste = instant i certainly dont remember it being this slow in previous versions but i really should give it a try for confirmation UPDATE: tested on 15063: sorry its all the same there. absurd to me that it takes 15 seconds to copy 22MB of exe. i guess it is 'normal'.
At this moment, what packages are grouped (merged into one)? Are all grouped into one, or grouped into several? Also are you referring to 4-1 or 4-3 section?
its with rollup fix of october. when i search on windows update just ask me for LP so i think its 4.7.1
At this moment, what packages are grouped (merged into one)? Are all grouped into one, or grouped into several? Also are you referring to 4-1 or 4-3 section? are you able to release a beta version when the above is fixed? a lot of us count on toolkit now and require it to progress
Hello MSMG tonight I was working with Toolkit v7.7 on a Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 en-US image and when I tried to integrate the LP-pt-BR language pack the script warns that I need to copy the file to the corresponding folder , but I'm sure that I put the file correctly so I had to interrupt my work and check what might have happened? Thank you in advance
Hello, Im about to install (clean) the fall update of windows 10 So, can you give any ETA for the next update? just to konw if wait a week or 2 before installing, or install already because its going to take longer.. Thanks in advanced
A lot of us are in the same position, and helpless. I too am stuck. I did share some suggestions before in hopes things can speed up.. hope consideration can be taken.
Would be good if some mercy souls would share the new WinSxS lists for FCU in the Telemetry Repo, that would help to adapt the stripping tools .
what is it that you're trying to do (for my technical understanding).... stripping tools? how does it all work?
I meant the list needed for the removals of unneeded/unwanted features in MSMGs and other tools. I posted them for the previous builds in the Repo, but there are quite some changes in FCU.
Not all packages, some like Parental Controls, Retail Demo Content, Windows Defender, People Experience Host etc.
The roll-up fix was for 4.7, the 4.7.1 was just released newly, Anyway I will make a new pack for 4.7.1.
