MSMG ToolKit

does not make any difference, period, only if you like more fluff

 

Of course, some of the people here like to have all junk reinstalled every 6 months.
I don't do clean installs every 6 months and certainly don't like mandatory OS upgrades every 6 months.
Moreover because those "upgrades" don't add any significant new functionality but do add more junk.

That's why I use LTSB, it's that simple for me.



Cheers.

There are a ton of differences besides using ancient software.

 

Compatibility, performance and security improvements are not something to avoid.

The toolkit allows the best of both world, clean install and more secure and stable core.

 

- Integrated latest Cumulative Update (KB4103721)
- Integrated network card driver
- Removed everything in "Metro Apps but store
- Removed everything in "Windows Components"
- Removed everything in "Advanced Windows Components"
- Applied few tweaks in Tweaks menu

will not install app from windows store

 

LTSB 2019 is due to be released this fall, I'm curious if you'll keep up that rhetoric.

Cheers.

 

Interesting. official source ?

Have seen that article for ages.. It's one year old.
I never read any official statement from Microsoft. Maybe it can come sooner than next spring (2019) or fall (2019)... ?

 

I have the same problem.

It does. I used to stick to 1607, but I tested 1803 and I do like 1803 (1804?) more than 1607.

I don't need Windows Store, so I always disable or remove it as well as all Metro Apps and other garbage.

\ToolKit\Drivers\WinPE\w10\x64 -> "Integrate to Windows Setup Boot Image".
\ToolKit\Drivers\Install\w10\x64 -> "Integrate to Windows Installation Image".

First option is for drivers integration to boot image, i.e. for DURING Windows setup (installation) use.
Second option is for drivers integration for install image, i.e. for POST Windows setup (after installation) use.

Right. Put your drivers into \ToolKit\Drivers\Install\w10\x64 and select "Integrate to Windows Installation Image".

[2] Integrate to Windows Setup Install & Recovery Image.

Hi there,

I removed a number of apps on LTSB 1607 RS1 with the latest MSMG release, I ran it in vmware player and ran SFC /Scannow. I noticed a number of entries talked about duplicate ownership for directories, it also makes note of primitive installers... however, it lists a number of the components from apps I removed, such as Parental Controls. It said everything was fixed and I rebooted and tried again, it didn't find any violations. Does this mean I am experiencing registry permission errors? How do I check for that to make sure. Those applications haven't seemed to have come back yet in the settings list, so I'm not sure. Thanks

See small part of log:
