MSMG MDL Developer Windows 10.0.17763.1 in the Section Advanced Components Do Not Remove Cortana, Some Things Do Not Remove Them
RS5 support is not yet finished, please wait until it is released officially and MSMG updates the toolkit. This kind of question pops up frequently, please note that MSMS toolkit does not (officially) support preview releases. Cheers.
Hi Sakhalin to MDL at your service, but please use English or better read our rules and peace for you too
If it's about the .Net Framework 4.7.2 pack for Windows 7 then it will take some time for me to update it since it involves re-doing the pack from scratch.
My previous tests worked with integrating updates/features including .NET 4.7.2, removing components, cleaning up the image and then integrating/enabling the .NET 3.5 at last before saving the image. Need to test with present updates to know whether there's any issues.
Maybe I have same trouble with Windows 10 10.0.117134.228 Pro ru-ru. Removal of any Windows component (even not advanced) breaks Windows installation: I get "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." error after the second reboot. With or without pre-integrating CU. WMP component is not removed. P.S. Sorry for my English.
The primary download link (Mega) is the official one and the mirror links are generously provided by MDL member LostED. Most of the Today's File Hosting sites are bundled with Ads and fake download buttons, can't blame them as it's their source of revenue. One should be smart enough to download properly or either have a ad-blocker installed to avoid those Ads/fake buttons. If you are having trouble downloading from mirror links, then do download from the mega link.
I suggest you do use the original Windows 10 v1803 (10.0.17134.1) image since the Toolkit's ToolKitHelper.exe is been coded based on the original image. Since you have specified removing any of the Windows component is breaking the setup, I will check with a ru-RU image to see if anything is wrong and will fix it.
Hi there, I have just used MSMG Toolkit for the first time to create a de-bloated version of Windows 10 Pro 1803. The process went smoothly but I have noticed an issue with the new installation. For some reason, the search feature in the Start Menu is not working. When I try typing with the start menu open, nothing happens. I have also tried pressing Win+X and selecting 'Search' but that doesn't do anything. The search box in the Settings app is also broken. I find this odd because I did not intentionally remove the search feature when configuring the ISO in MSMG Toolkit. Did I delete it by accident? Even this scenario seems hard to believe since I was making notes at the time of each item I removed. Is there anything I can do to solve this other than creating another ISO from scratch and reinstalling Windows? I see this as an absolute last resort.
Yes the W10 image v10.0.17134.1, that's the first release and you need to check with the ISO hash to verify the image. I usually do use the MSDN images.
You have removed the Cortana, which is also the Search feature, removing it will break the search functionality in StartMenu, Settings search box. You may need to re-do the image that would be better.
Thanks for your assistance. Yes, I did remove Cortana so that must've been what happened. Maybe you could include a warning within the program to inform users the side-effect of removing Cortana? Anyway, I re-produced the ISO with Cortana included this time, and now everything seems to be working as intended. It's great being able to install Windows and not have to clean all that junk that usually comes pre-installed. I had previously used Windows 10 LTSB but since it's still based on the old 1603 release, some UWP games like Forza Motorsport 7 refuse to work with it. The new LTSB release should be coming next month, but this is a great alternative for me since I needed something now rather than later.
does it work correctly on windows 10 2016 LTSB ? i mean will it show the components that do not exists ? (like store apps .... )
hi thank you for this util can you add more remove list in it? i would like to see here something more deep than cortana and defender.. at sample, delete all AMD drivers if you never use AMD CPU. remove all printers drivers remove all speach voices and components. for new hardware (cpu/intelGPU/IDE/old network interface/ets) - delete all old hardware-support files/drivers (at sample choose year which you have and delete before it, or choose generation line 7000/5000 something like this) remove some usless servises etc etc...more deep. can you do it? best regards
