I installed 1709 (RS3) . Ripped out defender, edge, telemetry, all metro, etc. And when I booted up the first time it looked good. So I kicked off windows updates and after it was done, most of the crap had been reinstalled. Is that possible or am I just going crazy?
Only with removing WMP the setup was failing if the updates were integrated before the removal otherwise it works fine, do check if you have missed any step.
Do check whether the driver is compatible or not, the ToolKit integrates the drivers to boot.wim, index 2.
The Toolkit works with All Windows 10 versions and I didn't had issues with the updates getting installed so far, will check with the latest update and report back. Don't know whether removing HomeGroup breaks Private Network or not, if it breaks can't do anything cause the ToolKit uses the DISM to remove HomeGroup and so don't have any control over it. But from next version, will be using the manual method, let see if it works out.
Both are fine, and removing Telemetry sub-component (Asimov) breaks the drivers download through WU and also breaks the StickyNotes App, otherwise no issues.
After you updated the system through Windows Update, do check the OS version, if it's v1803 (RS4) then you need to disable the feature upgrade to remain in v1709 (RS3).
Hello and thanks for this wonderful tool. I have to make 1803 installer without all the extra stuff. - Only need Enterprise N. Do I remove the other editions from the image before or after touching the Enterprise? - Can I safely use August 2018 updated image (17134.228) with MSMG? I have superficial understanding about updates integration process (here done by Microsoft), so if there is a chance that something might go wrong (while trying to remove apps, packages etc), I'd rather use the original April dated ISO.
7zip is mentioned only for extracting the setup.exe from boot.wim index:2. Just use MSMG Toolkit for basic mounting/iso (re)creating, etcetc...
This results in the same problem, extracted ISO, replaced iso:sources/setup.exe with the setup.exe from boot.wim:2 rebuilt iso with MSMG toolkit, no change Verified with hashes that i got the correct file.
Just make sure the extracted setup.exe from the boot.wim index 2 is also in the sources folder of the iso. A few pages back MSMG and I commented on the exact same problem,
@MSMG I've download the Win10_1803_English_x64 iso from microsoft. Using the toolkit v8.8, I cannot select the "[4] Remove menu" after using the wim manager (I only kept the pro version) and loading the source from the dvd folder. When I press "4", it goes directly in the customize menu.
wow just for reference, yesterday I worked with Toolkit v8.8 and using Windows 10 Build 1803 as host and so I could see the fantastic performance of the MSMG Toolkit fast as a stunning ray much higher than the previous builds of Windows 10
