    @MSMG - Sir i used MSMG in the following order. Is this correct ?

    1) Removed all Windows Apps and system apps
    2) Removed all the Components and some advanced components
    3) Applied and saved Changes to source images (Will this perform the Cleanup operation automatically or i need to use the "cleanup source images" option before applying and saving changes to source images ?)
    4) Re-Mounted the Source
    5) Added .NET Framework 3.5
    6) Added DirectX 9.0c
    7) Applied Changes (Will this perform the Cleanup operation automatically or i need to use the "cleanup source images" option before applying and saving changes to source images ?)
    8) Created the ISO

    The source ISO i used is SW_DVD5_WIN_ENT_LTSC_2019_64-bit_English_MLF_X21-96425.

    Is this correct ?
    Thank you

    3) You need to use the "cleanup source images" option.
    7) Can`t to use the "cleanup source images" option after added .NET Framework 3.5.

    - Select the Source Image
    - Integrate all required Windows Features (Except Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5)
    - Cleanup the Source Image
    - Remove all required Windows Components
    - Cleanup the Source Image
    - Integrate Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Feature
    - Apply & Save Changes to Source Images
    - Re-Build Source Images
    - Create the ISO

    You need to cleanup the image manually once before the component removal and before integrating Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Feature.

    - is there anyway to disable camera app until the driver is installed then it showed, so it will not appeat for desktop pc's with no integrated cam
    - can you offer an option to disable windows defender without removing its package, so it can be re-enabled again if needed, same thing for smart screen.

    Thank you sir. Even if i don't integrate any windows features and directly opt to remove components as a first step, do i need to cleanup the image ?

    - There's no known way to dynamically install camera app but you can disable it using the Setting->Privacy.
    - Ok will add the option.

    Those steps were for you since you didn't mention anything about integration, but I usually recommend to follow the steps provided in the Readme.txt.

    Yes you need to cleanup the image before and after component cleanup.

    Updated the ToolKit to v9.0


    Known Issues:

    Code:
    
    - Using ToolKit When Antivirus Programs are Enabled can Affect the ToolKit's Operations.
    - The ToolKit may or may not work properly with Windows 10 Refreshed Images due to the way the DISM works.
    - ToolKit's ToolKitHelper.exe may be flagged as a Virus/Trojan/Malware Program, Don't worry it's just a False Positive Sign.
    - The ToolKit can't/don't support Post-Servicing of ToolKit Serviced Source Images with Other similar Tools like NTLite/WinToolkit/WinReducer.
    - Integrating/Installing Windows Updates/Cumulative Updates After the Component Removal can rarely restore Removed Components Resources or Shortcuts files/folders.
    - Windows 8.1 - Integrating Windows Remote Server Administration Tool (RSAT) Alone will get Integrated But when It's Integrate after Integrating All other Components It will break the Integration with an Error code 0x80092004.
    - Windows 10 Threshold 1 - Integrating Latest Cumulative Update is Not Possible due to Lack of Availability of a Servicing Stack.
    - Windows 10 Threshold 1 - Removing All Apps Except Store and All Windows Components will break Store App and Settings->Apps->Store Restore Feature.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 2 - During Setup OOBE, At the Network Selection Screen, When You Choose Skip, The Setup will Show an Error - "Something went wrong, you can try again, or skip this for now", Just choose Skip.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 2/3/4 - When Custom User Account Picture is Integrated, The Picture is not Displayed in Logon Screen Although it's been Displayed in StartMenu User Icon.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 3/4 - Removing Unified Telemetry Client  (Asimov) under Microsoft Telemetry Component breaks Sticky Notes App and the Ability to Install Drivers through Windows Update.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 4 - Removing Windows Media Player Component from an Image with a Cumulative Update pre-integrated will break the Windows Installation.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 3/4 - It has been Reported that in the Format USB Function, the Diskpart command "list" is not Working when used within a Script.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 3/4 - It has been Reported that the Win32Calc Pack Integration breaks the Office 365 Preview Handlers.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 5 - Due to Microsoft's Implementation of PSFX update format, The ToolKitHelper.exe has disabled WinSXS cleanup and so SFC /SCANNOW can throw errors and so their by restores the removed components.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 5 - Removing Adobe Flash for Windows will get restored through Windows Update since it is a standalone package which is updated only through the Windows Update.

    Code:

    So, if I remove Windows Defender it will remove the Security Center but not the Firewall and the Action Center and if I remove the 3DViewer and MixedRealityPortal apps Windows Mixed Reality Portal won't be removed?

    Unfortunately, I can't do that since I don't have problems with them but I'm having problems installing the latest CU through Windows Update after integrating the previous one and the latest SSU and removing and configuring some things.

    @MSMG - Sir the latest version 9.0 is present only in mega.nz. It is missing in the other hosts. However there is no issue in getting it from mega.nz.
