    Ok so I created two identical ltsc 1809 17763.1 en us x64 images with version 9 of Msmg. One had IE removed by msmg and one didn't. The one that didn't wont allow firefox to be the default browser (it's not in the list to choose from). Removing IE also removes internet options. In all previous versions of msmg removing IE didn't remove internet options. Now the other image where I didn't remove IE everything is fine. (Firefox as default and internet options being present)

    I ran the toolkit using the Start.cmd and also as an admin and the problem still persists.

    Do you think its because I was using the refresh image of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019?

    Used Toolkit 9.0 on Windows 10 Enterprise en-gb x86 and x64.

    Ran SFC /SCANNOW and got this message on both VMs:

    Hello MSMG , firstly want to say thank you and that this is a incredible tool and that you're an amazing person for doing this for everyone

    @MSMG I would like to ask is there is a ETA for the "FINAL" build of the toolkit with everything included ?

    I would also like to ask if anyone knows where i can find the package list including every package for the 32 and 64bit images including the 32/64 LTSC variants ?

    You're amazing MSMG.

    I wasn't the only one who asked about that and some months ago I read that we shouldn't run it as an admin.

    There is a reason for this. The start command elevates the toolkit command to run as trusted installer with all privileges. So, know matter how you run the start command, the toolkit command will run with the same privileges. This is done with Nsudo.exe in the Bin folder.

    Use ToolKit v8.8, until the support is added back.

    Previous version were using DISM to remove which doesn't remove the components fully but now using the manual method it removes all associated things with the component.

    Will checkout whether I can retain the options.

    I don't know because I don't use a refreshed images.

    What's your Source OS? Is .Net Framework 4.7.2 is installed?

    Known Issues:

    - The ToolKit may or may not work properly with Windows 10 Refreshed Images due to the way the DISM works.

    - 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 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 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.
