Question I'm on LTSC 2019 is there something left to remove from this version like telemetry for example ?
Removed all Default Metro Apps except Store & Connect App ============================= === Removed Windows Components: === ============================= People Experience Host Skype ORTC Take Test App Microsoft Xbox HomeGroup Unified Telemetry Customer Experience Improvement Program ============================= Win32 Calculator is not yet available for integration also OneDrive still there i hope it can be removed also Integrated DirectX 9.0c but i can't find it in programs list, if it doesn't show there by default, how to check that it was successfully integrated or not ?
For Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 Windows Apps : Nothing there to remove System Apps : The below components are not present, the reset can be removed. Edge, OneDrive, PPIProjection, SecureAssessmentBrowser, Store, XboxIdentityProvider Advanced Windows components : All components can be removed Will update the ToolKit with a separate menu for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019.
Do read the change log, the component removal is only for en-GB/en-US source images and it may or may not work with other languages. Also whatever present in the change log will be one available in the ToolKit, win32calc will be added when it's ready. DirectX 9.0c Pack integration won't show any listing in the Programs and Features, you can check it by running dxdiag.exe from run command or running any program/games that require DirectX 9.0c.
Thanks, I have successfully made an ISO from 1809 LTSC x64 , removing : "People Experience Host Skype ORTC Home Group Take Test App Microsoft Xbox HomeGroup Unified Telemetry Customer Experience Improvement Program Xbox components " Problem : When fresh install on HDD the installation of low drivers for motherboard, and Window Update seems broken. Windows does not install Low level drivers (Intel) , PCI to PCIexpress Bridge , and Windows update failed to install the two updates SSU + KB xxx30 giving you 17763.55. Maybe I have made something wrong ?
I haven't tested the x64 image + Asimov yet with WU and if the Installation of Drivers not working then it will be due removing the Unified Telemetry Client. I have tested the WU updates installation with x86 image it has worked so far, will test the x64 image and report back.
Afters removing UnifiedTelemetryClient from LSTC 1809 N file CompatTelRunner.exe still present in Windows\System32 directory. Plus getting error 0x800f0982 now when trying install Cumulative Update 2018-10 KB4464330 on fresh system. Acording NTLite forum it caused by "1809’s new PSFX update format compatibility after removals (error 0x800f0982)".
I got the very same Windows Update errors numbers when trying to update, plus the low drivers not installing. LTSC 2019. No error when removing components with Toolkit. (Log)
Unified Telemetry Client removal varies for different W10 builds and it needs further tweaking for complete removal. Cleaning up WinSXS for removed components will break WU with the new PSFX update format and leaving them alone will also gives errors with SFC /scannow. That's why I have put a switch inside the ToolKitHelper.exe for cleaning up WinSXS and currently it is set to true, So far my tests with x86 build the WU is working as you can read back few pages where I have posted my results and the WU installs the updates properly. Need to test the x64 builds yet to know whether it works or not.
This will now be my method Does it seem okay?
