    Start.cmd. I thought they were different things. I can't use ToolkitHelper.exe and I don't know the difference between using it and using Start.cmd.

    This is how the Toolkit works : Start.cmd -> ToolKit.cmd -> ToolKitHelper.exe

    Then why did you said the other day to manually run the ToolKitHelper.exe since running Start.cmd couldn't remove whatever I was trying to remove?

    That was for removing components not mentioned in the ToolKit Menu but present in the ToolKitHelper.exe

    And why are (or at least were) there some components present in it and not in ToolKit Menu? Are there components present in the ToolKit Menu but not in the ToolKitHelper.exe? Is the ToolKitHelper.exe component removal different than the one from the ToolKit Menu?

    This was said when v8.9 of ToolKit was released where some components where not added to the menu, remember Internet Explorer which you asked for.

    In v9.0 all components were add to the menu, the ToolKit uses the ToolKitHelper.exe to remove the components which means the ToolKit indirectly uses the the ToolKitHelper.exe to do the job.

    I propose to exclude the Asimov package from removing telemetry so that it does not cause further problems. ;)

    I maximized the window but there is no option to remove the Manual Setup Feature.
    When I tried to remove all Avanced Windows Component I got an error of invalid component name specified and a list of all valid component names
    I tried to remove this component (ManualSetup as written in the toolkit.cmd file) via ToolKitHelper after mounting the install image as described above but I also got the same error massage of invalid component name specified.
    Also, the ManualSetup component is not available in the list of the valid component names.

    Thanks.

    Then don't remove it, leave it as it is, currently the only issue with it is installation of drivers with WU.

    Yes it seems in v9.0 when I moved some components from System Apps, I have forgotten to include the Manual Setup thing, will add it in the next version.

    The Manual Setup component is not removed using the ToolKitHelper.exe, it is directly removed from ToolKit, since it it requires only removal of files/folders from source DVD.

    following the order:

    1. integrate drivers ; disable features (a custom script.. i wish this is available in msmg though... maybe it is, but i dont know..... to disable stuff like sambav1)
    2. clean
    3. remove metro apps by list ; remove all system apps ; remove advanced "edge,ie,smartscreen,defender"
    4. clean
    5. apply
    6. rebuild

    unattended install failed with unable to install for my hardware or something like that. i cant remember exact msg

    changed the order to:

    1. integrate drivers
    2. disable features
    3. remove metro, remove system, as above..
    4. clean ; apply ; rebuild

    allowed me to install

    but the problem now is, default webbrowser program is empty and i cant select chrome / firefox for it.

    I can't even run the new toolkit. The cmd window just closes once I select the source file from DVD folder. :(
    Am I doing something wrong? Any help will be highly appreciated.

    it doesnt allow me to set to chrome/firefox. its not listed.

    seeing how messy removals are getting and how bloated windows is becoming...

    im really on the edge of switching to linux. i mean im not just saying it anymore right now. im really feeling it.

    So, there are components that aren't removed using ToolKitHelper.exe after all?
