    Yes soon it will be done once I do finish preparing a install.wim with all LP's + Apps integrated.

    1) You should run the ToolKit using Start.cmd to avoid that error while removing components.

    2) You should run the Cleanup image once before the component removal, please do read the readme.txt file.

    That can be done, but adding selective menu choice will be difficult since the ToolKit has to deal with Single/Multi-Index mode.

    The best I can do provide is makes changes to Remove Windows Components using Package List to also remove the components present in those three menus.

    Now Apps and Components are merged into just Windows Components and in the Readme.txt that's why I have referred them to as Windows Components.

    Removing Biometrics may break OOBE and will see about Location removal.

    Thanks. I just remembered other things like Codecs Intel Video, Codecs Video Compression, MPEG-2 Splitter, Sounds, Firewall, Airplane Mode and Radio Management Service, Windows Temporary Files Cache, Shell Hardware Detection, Send to Email and Desktop, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Embedded Mode, Action Center, Languages/Keyboard Layouts, Windows Mixed Reality, Support directory removal, Manuel feature repository, .NET assembly cache, .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5, Tablet PC, InputApp, User Account Control (UAC) and WinSxS\Backup removal.

    Also, will an Adobe Flash Player update appear in Windows Update after removing Adobe Flash Player?

    I just feel keeping the removal list to minimal is better to avoid breakdown of OS functionality anyway currently there are no more menu choices left to add any components further.

    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, I think cleaning up the WinSxS folder will not re-issue the Flash through WU.

    Is there an option for cleaning it up in MSMG? So, I removed Windows Defender in MSMG ToolKit but unlike you stated Security Center still appears in NTLite.

    Also from my past experience, removing Biometrics will have Event Log Viewer throw constant errors upon every reboot so I just leave it alone.

    I was referring to Windows Defender Security Center, Which Security Center are you referring to? is it about Security & Maintenance available inside control panel?

    MSMG Toolkit in a VM is not a problem.
    Runs perfect here with 6 Cores, 6 GB RAM and SSD.

    MSMG , does removing Telemetry / Asimov still break mobo drivers being downloaded - LTSC 2019 - ?
    Just made an ISO without any errors in log files. Wait for answer to use is and remove telemetry if possible.

    I don't remember now but maybe. But even if I was talking about the one you mentioned, why would it be removed when after removing the Mixed Reality Portal app Windows Mixed Reality wouldn't be removed? If I remove .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 and the .NET assembly cache with NTLite or other program will I have any problems running and installing UWP/Win32 apps (like older Win32 ones)?

    If you just want to remove components, then you can do like this

    - Mount the install.wim using the in-built dism present in Windows 7
    - Using a NSudo command prompt, run the ToolKitHelper.exe to remove the components
    - Save and Unmount install.wim using the in-built dism present in Windows 7

    Note: ToolKitHelper.exe requires .Net Framework 4.7.2

    Removing Components using Package List file is different from Windows Components.

    Remove Windows Components uses ToolKitHelper.exe to remove components.
    Remove Components using Package List file uses DISM to remove components.

    Use Remove Windows Components and skip removing those components which you want to retain.
