    Cortana and Search are connected. If you need Search, then you do not need to delete Cortana..

    Will removing Windows Defender remove it permanently from the OS if you use MSMG Toolkit? Or just disable it?

    Do you remove the Xbox using ToolKit Menu? If yes then do try removing it using the ToolKitHelper.exe method which does more tweaking and then see if the same error occurs or not.

    yeah was using the menu,

    i must be blind or something, can't find the instructions in the readme
    how do i do via ToolKitHelper.exe, if i run the exe it just opens and closes, thinking i might have to call it via cmd?

    Right now, I don't have the W10 Enterprise x64 Turkish (tr-TR) image with me, will test the ToolKit once I do download the ISO.

    No It's not present in the Readme.txt.

    As I said before the DISM method will either remove more then required or less and so it will break some functionality and so we don't have any control over it's execution.

    So the ToolKitHelper.exe was created to remove components manually and to have control over what to remove and what not to. Since the ToolKitHelper.exe is still in experimental and also few more components are left to be added to it's removal list, I have not used it fully in the ToolKit Menu yet.

    At present the ToolKitHelper.exe supports Windows 10 RS3 and RS4 all languages for these components :

    Code:
    
     Assigned Access Lock App
     Bio Enrollment App
     Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP)
     Content Delivery Manager
     Cortana App
     Edge Browser App
     File Explorer App
     Holorgraphic First Run App
     Kernel Debugging
     Lockscreen App
     OneDrive Desktop Client
     Parental Controls App
     People Experience Host
     Quick Assist App
     Connect App
     Retail Demo Content
     Take Test App
     Setting Sync
     Skype ORTC
     SmartScreen App
     Microsoft Store App
     Unified Telemetry Client (Asimov)
     Windows Defender App
     Windows Error Reporting
     Microsoft Xbox App
     Xbox Game Callable UI
    
    
    For Windows 10 RS3 (All Languages) it also supports removing Windows Mixed Reality.

    And, For Windows 10 RS4 (en-GB) it supports removing these Apps:

    Code:
      Mixed Reality Viewer App
      Advertising XAML
      Alarms & Clock App
      Weather App
      Calculator App
      Camera App
      Calendar & Mail App
      Desktop App Installer
      Feedback Hub App
      Get Help App
      Tips App
      Maps App
      Messaging App
      My Office App
      OneNote App
      Mobile Plans App
      Paint 3D App
      People App
      Photos App
      Print 3D App
      Skype App
      Solitaire Collection App
      Voice Recorder App
      Sticky Notes App
      Wallet Service App
      Web Media Extensions App
      Groove Music App
      Films & TV App
    
    To use the ToolKitHelper.exe manual you need to use a NSudo command prompt, follow these steps :

    - Use the ToolKit to select the source
    - Open Nsudo.exe
    - Choose User: TrustedInstaller
    - Choose Enable All Previliges
    - Under Open box type : cmd
    - A command prompt window will be opened.
    - Navigate to ToolKit folder
    - run the below command to get the list of components

    Code:
    Bin\ToolkitHelper.exe mount\install /?
    
    - run the below command to remove a component

    Code:
    Bin\ToolkitHelper.exe mount\install <Component-Name>
    
    E.g: Bin\ToolkitHelper.exe mount\install XboxApp

    - Apply changes to the ToolKit and follow other instructions specified in the Readme.txt

    @MSMG OneDrive is still present if removed on 1803. At least on Home, whereas on Pro, any remains are gone. shortcut is still left on Home. Not game-breaking but figured I'd report.

    Is that shortcut left-out when using The ToolKit Menu to remove the OneDrive or using the ToolKitHelper.exe?

    Yes, and I assume it's the first option, or whatever is used when removing components in the menu.
