MSMG Thanks for your Time and experience in the Soft, Please Tell Us, Today is the day for a new update ?
Do provide the info about the script and the folder structure, will check to see if I can add a menu for it inside the Integrate Updates Menu.
You can't remove the Cortana using the install_wim_tweak utility since the Cortana doesn't have a separate package anymore. It's seem in v1903 the MS is going to separate StartMenu Search and Cortana.
Removing Telemetry Component is only breaking the drivers install through WU. If anyone having errors in installing updates through Windows Update due to its PSFX format then I will turn off the WinSxS clean-up switch in the ToolKitHelper.exe to fix updates error but this will also increase the WIM size and SFC /SCANNOW errors.
If anyone willing to help regarding the LP, then do like this - Get a MSDN W10 RS5 Client + Server LP ISO - Extract the Language Pack files to a folder like x86, x64 - Upload the folder to a mega link as it is, don't zip them or rename the files. - Share the mega link, so that I can import them into my Mega Account and move the files to Packs\LangPacks\W10\RS5 folder and rename them as required.
- I asked for screenshot regarding the errors so that it would be easier for troubleshooting - I don't recommend using a refreshed source images.
DEAR MSMG Developer: 1.LTSC 2019 cannot remove Windows defender anymore? not found this component in the remove list? 2. I want to make a minimum install on 1803, BUT Windows Updates Keep funtional, Which Windows components I should not remove? Thanks advanced!
1) Did you used the Remove Windows Components -> Advanced Components -> Windows Defender menu? 2) Please do read the changelog - Temporarily Removed the Feature "Remove Windows Component" for Windows 7 - Windows 10 Redstone 4 Source OS. Do use older version of ToolKit v8.8 for component removal for Windows 7 - Windows 10 Redstone 4 Source OS. If you want to have a minimal installation then you need to remove all components provided in the removal menu and yes you can skip removing Unified Telemetry Client if you want to install drivers through Windows Update.
@MSMG - Sir I used the refreshed LTSC ISO images and used the latest version of MSMG to clean stuff. I removed all windows apps and system apps and also some advanced components. I was successful in building the ISO image and windows installation, though it took some extra time, it went smooth. The O/s also seems to be fast than the previous versions. The only thing leftover is the search app which is running in the background. I used install_wim_tweak to uninstall the same, but the searchUI is still there. Is it because of the cortana app, the searchUI is still running ?. If i remove cortana with install_wim_tweak script, will i get rid of the searchUi app ?. Thank you
Here is a screenshot of what i see. But you will not get any wiser then with my former explanation. It poped-up when i was starting to remove things on W.376 with Toolkit 8.9. On Oct, no. No refreshed ISO`s in use.
You can't remove Cortana with install_wim_tweak for RS5, at present for x64 builds I have disabled the Cortana removal due to SFC errors.
The ToolkitHelper.exe is architecture independent and so error will not be due to it, may be something else is causing the error. If the Toolkit is saved inside the C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop or C:\Users\<UserName>\Downloads then the Toolkit may not work properly, If the folder pathname contains a space then also the Toolkit will not work properly. So your HOST OS is Windows 10 Redstone 4 with CU .376, have you installed .Net Framework 4.7.2, The ToolkitHelper.exe needs it to be installed.
@MSMG Sir, When mounting an image for servicing with MSMG, should i mount the windows setup boot image and the recovery image as well or just the install.wim is enough ?. I always mount only the install.wim and not the other wim images. Am i doing it the right way ?
