    MSMG Toolkit doesn't work without a boot.wim present.

    If you are going to WIM -> ESD after using the toolkit does optimizing the WIM first even matter?

    Nope, wim>esd does it too.

    Pretty much what I expected. I have run into issues with RS3 + CU + all drivers from a system sending the WIM over the FAT32 limit so I started using ESD in all cases a while back.

    yeah i hope they delete the requirement of boot.wim being present it's not need unless you add a language pack
    i always put it there in sources folder just for the toolkit to work but i ignore it afterwards i only replace install.wim in the iso file

    another thing so i removed hyper-v packages but still i can create and attach VHD in computer management;
    so what's all this hyper-v is about, i thought it's for virtualisation only
    i hope it's not required for anything crucial for windows or any programs

    Hey, I did remove Defender but didn't remove Telemetry because from what I read at few last pages of the thread it can break some stuff (including automatic drivers update). Yet I haven't tested Windows Update because I always disable it and install everything manually (if needed), especially drivers (I don't like that despite I disable automatic driver update WU still installs unnecessary drivers like Intel Management Engine or Intel Chipset).

    I have removed everything incl. telemetry, everything is buttery smooth, better than W7. The only thing is when i open 3D applications, it gives me an annoying popup that an app cannot be open, probably because store went missing :)

    EDIT: the popu tells ms-gamingoverlay ???? dunno what is this, but games do work :)

    I've noticed most of you seems to favor Pro over LTSB. While this is out of the scope of MSMG, could some of you point me on some cue for this overall build preference ?

    The latest LTSB is two years old. The latest Pro is last week. It is that simple for me.
