I can't access "Advanced Windows Components" (4-3-2) removal menu; Pressing 1 ( All Windows Components) and 2 (Advanced Windows Components) in "Remove Windows Components" menu (4-3) does same thing - removes all windows components. Previous versions where working fine. Could anybody check if same thing happens to you too please. Thank You!
I don't like to spam but there are always at least 20+ users in this thread. Please, enlighten me guys.
The Edge pack is given only for Server editions, if you need the cab files for RS4 then you need to use the SxS Expander/Extractor tool to extract them from the source image.
Yes Biometric and other components removal will be added to use ToolKitHelper method, It will take some time for me to complete it. +1. Microphone not working. " Error in creating Sound stream". Need to check without removing WMP. But it worked properly with MGMG earlier build. @MSMG Is it possible to include Biometric component removal option like earlier build. Any option to remove Retail Demo Content. It takes nearly 160MB. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
1) Yes you need to use the Image Cleanup to reduce the Image size. 2) DaRT is optional and NetFX471 may be needed as it is required to run .net application written targeting NetFX471.
Updated the ToolKit to v8.6 Spoiler: Changelog v8.6 + Updated ToolKit's Bin Folder with Windows 10 Redstone 5 Insider Preview WADK (v10.0.17661.1000) Tools. + Replaced the Resource Hacker Binary with the Previous Version in ToolKit's Bin Folder to Fix Integration of Metro Skins Bugs. + Updated the Feature "Integrate Windows Data Deduplication" to Support Windows 10 Redstone 4 Source OS. + Updated the Data Deduplication Pack for MSMG ToolKit with Windows 10 Redstone 4 - Data Deduplication Base & en-US MUI CAB Files. (Thanks to MDL Members : abbodi1406, Moderate).
It does seem to be WMP removal that causes the microphone not to work. I made a new image and removed all of the same components that I had removed before while leaving WMP and the Microphone Setup Wizard works (in a VM) where it complained about a missing service before. I'll test with a real install and report back.
No, the main problem of 8.5 is the Metro Skin implementation not working and WMC removal not working (here is working).
Is the battery slider problem fixed?(it disappeared in images with all metro apps and windows components removed). Well, it's not a big deal but just asking. No pressure
I'm typing from a clean and real(not on vm, idk if it affects anythig though) installation. I used NTLite to remove apps (and xbox).* Then I used this tool to > remove all compenents > remove adv components (hyper-v, explorerUI, defender, peoplesomethingIdontremember, smartscreen, telemetry and some others...) > Disabled Cortana (Not removed.) > Integrated dx9c and netfx35 * I did an installation yesterday without using ntlite. xbox button stayed in settings app so msmg didn't remove all xbox components. I don't know if I did good or bad though. I'm just sharing my experience.
Now even the RS4 Server core is also released and since the core can be converted to GUI using the client packages, I will be adding the edge pack for RS4 too. If you need it urgently then use the Aunty Mel's Cheap And Nasty SxS File Expander to extract the packages.
If you are integrating features like Dart or any updates to the Windows Setup Boot Image, then Choose Yes to mount it and the same applies for the Recovery Image too.
May be some WMP sub-packages are breaking the microphone in RS4 while for RS3 it was working properly.
