You need to manually patch them using a Hex editor and yes the SFC can say it's been modified and also the CU will replace it with a updated file and again you will need to patch it.
Yes using NSudo to run a Batch file it will start with a Small Window and doesn't have a scroll-bar, to get a scroll-bar maximize the window and restore it. I have added a tweak to increase the scroll length the scroll back more for the next version. Will check with the Dart Integration and fix for any errors.
Dart 10 integrated well overhere, i only run ToolKit.cmd because i don't delete stuff, only adding DaRT
Thanks. I don't play games, is it safe to remove Xbox as well from the "Remove Default Metro Apps" menu ? If one day I want to play one game, won't I have any problem ? I didn't find anything on google about "Microsoft Connect App" and "Windows Store Client", so any suggestiens are welcomed !
Yes ToolKitHelper.exe requires .NET Framework 4.6.x to work and it's my mistake I didn't put a note due to a rough start with the v7.8 launch. KAV is not an issue, it may just flag the ToolKitHelper.exe a trojan/virus and it's a false positive sign. Having two CMD Batch files and running as NSudo is causing many confusion for some people, I'm planning to shift the deleting/removing/registry import part of code to ToolKitHelper.exe and make the ToolKit script a normal one and just call the ToolKitHelper.exe using the Nsudo within the ToolKit Script this way the NSudo won't launch a command prompt and still get used.
If you want play the Xbox game at a later stage then don't remove the Xbox Game Callable UI, just remove the Xbox Apps from "Remove Default Metro Apps" menu. Microsoft Connect App is a Screen Cast App and Windows Store Client is back-end client for Windows Store App.
Thanks A lot !! So I've removed the xbox app which I can install back later if I need it. I've keps Microsoft Connect App for screencast and Windows Store Client to keep Windows Store functionnal. I also keep Callable UI to be future proof if I need xbox app.
All right, here's my first bug ! I've added Solitaire and Spider solitaire, but when I click on these games, nothing happens, they don't want to launch.

Ok, so can you help me figure out how to remove such things? The package list .txt option also uses DISM, and I tried it on an untouched .iso, but the Store still doesn't work. I'm using the 1706 MultiVL .iso as a base, with the Enterprise source. Here's the RemoveAppsList.txt that I tried: Spoiler Microsoft.BingWeather Microsoft.GetHelp Microsoft.Getstarted Microsoft.Messaging Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes Microsoft.MSPaint Microsoft.Office.OneNote Microsoft.OneConnect Microsoft.People Microsoft.Print3D Microsoft.SkypeApp Microsoft.Wallet Microsoft.WindowsAlarms microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub Microsoft.WindowsMaps Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI Microsoft.XboxApp Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay Microsoft.ZuneMusic Microsoft.ZuneVideo I also tried just removing the Appx folders themselves, but that isn't sufficient, as they still show up as corrupted icons in the start menu. I'm sure there are other changes I need to make to the registry, but I have no idea where to look. How can I remove these manually without using DISM? EDIT: I ended up just using NTLite to remove the Metro apps I didn't want, since it doesn't break the Microsoft Store. The free version of NTLite lets you remove the same Metro apps that MSMG does, and it works with RS3. I used MSMG Toolkit for everything else, which was important, because there are a lot of things NTLite doesn't let you remove without paying for a license. Thanks to both, I was able to get everything exactly how I wanted it Special thanks to MSMG Toolkit's ability to easily create ISO's from a folder - I was able to add a few system files for additional customization, such as adding default Group Policy settings, and manually deleting all instances of "KnownGameList.bin" and "GameBarPresenceWriter.exe/.dll" (prevents Windows from degrading game performance). Now, everything is perfect!
For just customizing the StartMenu Layout you can modify this file C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\DefaultLayouts.xml
The Manual method is complex and difficult to explain as it deals with removing file/fodlers associated with the component and modifying some XML files and removing the registry entries associated with the component and also adding some registry entires too with proper file/folder/registry permissions. It also involves editing certain regisry entries which are of type mutil-string which is bit difficult to do in command-line or batch scripting and also the manual method procedure varies for some components too. Yes the App List and Packages List uses the DISM and it's was added for advanced users who wish to remove more components fo there choice at once But for Windows 10 RS3 some componnts can't be removed using the DISM and so it's not useful in using the Package List. So retaining the XboxIdentityProvider didn't help for a Working Store. The NTLite uses a different mechanism to remove the componetns and so retains what is required. I have just started with the Manual method and it will take time for supporting all components and for all OS's and all languages.
You can do it any way, but integrating the updates after the component will reduce your time as it won't update the removed components. You won't get any erros integrating updates before the component removal, only .NETFX35 is advised to integrate at last and that too only for Windows 10 OS.
