    I'm planing for a smaller update mainly fixing the menu choice bugs, re-grouping remove menus, win32calc integration and if possible Apps integration.

    I need some time for adding more components for removal as it requires testing countless installations for components and since I don't have adequate resources to test the installation on a VM, I do sometimes test the installation on real PC, that's why it takes more time for an release.

    I'm still working on how to remove a component when updates are pre-integrated so that it also removes the updated component files, if this is achieved then even the refreshed images will also work in future.

    so, you recommend integrating latest updates to first 1809 then for now? if it gives the same effect without those 1809 initial bugs

    Thank you so much for your help.
    I managed to eliminate the missing links.
    I could not find the way to delete EDGE, or this function is not included?
    Thank you

    How can I remove Internet Explorer with this? What are the commands? And how can I clean, apply and rebuild the image afterwards like in MSMG ToolKit?

    I do recommend to integrate updates after the component removal or use WU to install updates later.

    Edge removal is in Remove->System Apps.

    - Mount the Source using ToolKit
    - Cleanup the Source using ToolKit
    - Running Bin\ToolKitHelper.exe mount\install /? will give the list of components
    - Now Run Bin\ToolKitHelper.exe mount\install InternetExplorer to remove IE.
    - Cleanup the Source using ToolKit
    - Apply the source using ToolKit
    - Rebuild the source using Toolkit

    That's why I have provided a third menu "Advanced Windows Components", here the important components which the people usually don't remove are provided for removal

    I will move only the important components like Edge, Store, Xbox to "Advanced Windows Components" in the next update.

    I have specified in the menu itself which components depends upon which components to be sure not to remove the dependent component.

    Code:
      3DViewer                  -  Mixed Reality Viewer App | Depends on: WindowsMixedReality
      BingWeather               -  Weather App | Depends on: AdvertisingXaml
      CommunicationsApps        -  Windows Calendar & Mail App | Depends on: AdvertisingXaml
      Maps                      -  Maps App | Depends on: MapsControl
      People                    -  People App | Depends on: PeopleExperienceHost
      SolitaireCollection       -  Solitaire Collection App | Depends on: XboxGameCallableUI
      StickyNotes               -  Sticky Notes App | Depends on: AdvertisingXaml, Store, XboxGameCallableUI
      EdgeDevToolsClient        -  Edge DevTools Client | Depends on: Edge
      WindowsReaderPDF          -  Windows Reader (PDF) | Depends on: Edge
      XboxApp                   -  Microsoft Xbox App | Depends on: XboxGameCallableUI
      XboxIdentityProvider      -  Xbox Identity Provider | Depends on: XboxApp
      KernelDebugging           -  Kernel Debugging | Depends on: WindowsErrorReporting
      UnifiedTelemetryClient    -  Unified Telemetry Client (Asimov) | Depends on: WindowsErrorReporting

    Thanks for the reply.

    Last question, is the Flash component in the advance section needed at all for the OS to work properly if I only use Google Chrome as my browser?

    I dont have to intergrate the Flash update then right?

    It says the system cannot find the path specified.
