Yes I had paused it due to fix this component removal issues with ToolKit CMD version, may be I should suspend updating the CMD version for sometime and resume with the GUI.
If you mean C:\Toolkit, tried it, same error. Tried E:\Toolkit, same error. If you have nothing constructive to say then don't say anything.
When you open the Store for the first time it updates the existing apps and so it updates the Store and Xbox.TCUI, The Xbox.TCUI comes with the Windows 10. Using the DISM method to remove a component and also protecting the dependent files is difficult, you better use the NTLite for removing it. Which Apps didn't get removed? I said I do use the en-GB image for my testing and that doens't mean en-GB is required, it will work with any language since you are using the DISM for removing them. Xbox Live is the Xbox.TCUI App and removing this will break the App reset feature in the Settings->Apps menu and In my testing even it is required for Store to function. In NTLite, Removing Xbox app will remove all Xbox related components except the Xbox Identity Provider since it is made to be in a protected component list. I have already posted in Known Issues section that I won't be supporting the post-servicing of ToolKit image with other similar tools since I don't know how does it work internally.
Before the release of v8.0, I had test each build thoroughly and only after no bugs/hangs I did posted the new version. Did you add the latest update to the image? I haven't done my test yet anyway will report back once done.
Removing store apps and other stuff won't bring any increase in performance, only disabling some services will, but disabling services can mean, useful functions not to work anymore.
Additionally a system using the bare minimum RAM is always slower in response . With 8 GB+ there is no real need for this.
Did you verify the checksum of the downloaded packed file? Code: MSMG ToolKit v8.0 Filename: ToolKit-v8.0.7z Size: 174035758 bytes (165 MB) SHA1: 4F59B750A81D8EE07E9344B2E04606C08F6E42CC
After checking the error seems it struggles with fetching the language of your OS. What is output for (in admin CMD): Code: DISM /Online /English /Get-Intl | findstr /i /C:"Default system UI language"
@MSMG: Did you update 8.0 sinds it's release? Would it be possible for you to announce if the toolkit, packs or apps have been updated? Sometimes it's hard to keep track now that it has grown considerably. Cheers.
@MSMG Using double quotes in the set command for: Code: for /f "tokens=6 delims= " %%a in ('DISM /Online /English /Get-Intl ^| findstr /i /C:"Default system UI language"') do ( set "HOST_Language=%%a" ) will avoid the space at the end of the variable and spare the need of cutting that space off .
I don't use xbox nor groove nor Microsoft mail nor etc, I like to click on restart button whenever needed and see system back fully booted up in 4secs and when I open task manager and click on ram I happy seeing 520mb ram in use. Amd when i connect to Internet only few bytes of data are transfered. It takes loads of effort to make windows the way I want but its worth it
I have a question and would like the help of the experts: The /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase command may break setupcomplete.cmd?
None of those apps use system resources when they are not started by you, so removing them won't increase performance. My untouched install reboots just as fast 4-6sec from desktop to desktop.
