thanks, will try again. if Asimov component has been remove, is there anyway to put it back on? I just don't want to start all over again. Thanks
If I want to integrate Windows Store into LTSB what do I need to integrate? Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp Microsoft.WindowsStore Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider Would it be this?
Thanks, in the topic with the abbodi1406 solution are these apps used but can not integrate into an offline image I think I need to use the MSMG Toolkit for this. My question is whether the Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider is really necessary since LTSB is Redstone 1. PS: I think I'll give up on this idea. Even with Windows Update disabled using group policy I think Windows uses the WU service to update the Store and the apps and this leaves the VM slow when searching for updates. I'm not sure if this is it but it's the same behavior as when I do search for updates. In Redstone 3 I do not have this problem. If I want the Store and/or updates I think I'll use RS3 or I'll go back to 8.1
@ AeonX well yesterday I discover one good thing related to EnterpriseS (or 2016 LTSB) this build NO need any tool for remove components or something all I want remove or disable is possible only using own components of Windows in another words for example if I don't want Windows Defender is simple only disable it via Control Panel or gpedit.msc and so on for Xbox is same thing My OS that I installed yesterday works like a charm no issues with Windows Update and for Store myself no need use it but if you want you can try Tool by GOD666 and others; still for severals components you can use Windows Firewall with advanced security and there block all desired "things" therefore is not necessary remove nothing only need make use of brain.
Store and other apps can be integrated without any issue, I do that all the time. Just be sure you download all the apps from the mega link provided. Cheers.
hehe but is true dude my OS works fine and after my install I use sfc/scannow 0 issues and also use Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealt 0 issues I think is sufficient
@Tiger-1 Normally I do not need the Store but would like to have this option ready to use if need be. I think it would be useful only for games that need this and maybe for some apps like Netflix (I do not even know if it works well). And LTSB really is quite lean. I have been using without removing anything just by disabling but I consider that my hardware is fairly good maybe in weaker hardware that makes a greater difference. But I have been testing with removals and I believe that having good judgment and removing the right things will not have problems. Some Windows components are not worth removing as they can easily cause problems. Some components are good to maintain because they may be required for certain programs. Anyway, it is not at all easy to get a stable system removing things, it is a test of patience and trial and error for a very long term.
I seen a post where a guy said that the only downside to this tool is you have to manually add new Windows builds that come out through the tool. Is that true? or can you use windows update? The persons post: "I think the downside to MSMG Toolkit is that each time a new Windows 10 build comes out (Creators, Fall Creators for instance) you have to manually download the ISO and apply your customization again and then upgrade using your custom ISO as if you update directly through Windows Update it's going to install all the bloat again."
V8.6 can’t remove windows defender on windows 10 enterprise LTSB 2016, it can’t find the cab files. V8.4 works fine. Please ignore, it seems 8.4 is not working as well now ? I did this the other day and it was fine, only difference is i'm using the latest cu update instead of the previous one.
The solution is simple, don't integrate any updates... Seems that the toolkit is having some problems with the latest CU.
