MSMG ToolKit

Like MSMG said, i don't have any problems with the windows features, i used the Toolkit on Pro and Enterprise ISOs, didn't faced any issues.

 

I honestly have no idea what's making it disappear. I'm removing all the same things I normally do when I create a build for my machines. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but I usually turn on DirectPlay since I install a few old games that require it.

 

remove microsoft from windows, then you will be happy.

 

Remove Windows from Microsoft, then you'll be more than happy

 

Didn't MSFT just recently closed the specific Windows section from the company and merged them into another section?

 

Ok, thanks!

 

Go figure

 

Hello! Fist of all thank you for your work!

In 1709 I had some issues with windows updates after removing windows components, but right after installation I did sfc/scannow, and all errors was fixed,

But in 1803 sfc finishing with error. Log file tells about problems with Windows Defender. May this FIX (version 8.5) help me with that?

 

Its visible in my system. I used MSMG V 8.4. Removed Metro apps without store.

Thanks.

 

Same with me. However, I had also removed all the windows components and Cortana, people from the advanced components section. Don't know how to get it back though.

 

If you remove crucial elements of windows, of course that you'll break something, I removed some components on 1709 and never had any issues...

 

did we ever figure out the error message? attached, its during the telemetry removal for me

 

@MSMG
ToolKit 8.5
show as ToolKit 8.4
and also error with metro skin integration

 

Many thanks for the update.

 

Hi everyone. First of all, great tool and thread! Still, a FAQ could be useful for this thread.

Anyway I've some noobish questions:
- Do you use or suggest apps like "Windows Privacy Tracker" or "Disable Win Tracking" after using this?
- Do you guys pause windows updates after a clean install? If no, isn't ms install the bloatware again?

Thanks.

 

1- No
2- No, No

MSFT will only reinstall all that bloatware if you install a feature update (RS4 to RS5 for example), when i updated from 1709 to 1803, some of the bloatware has been installed again.

 

Thanks for the answers. I've another question.

Is it possible to undo "Integrate > Custom Features". Let's say I applied WMP Metro Skin, can I take the action back?

 

I don't think so, but hey, don't use these metro skins for now, like @windows builder posted, there's a issue in one of them.
