I can't edit the hosts.txt file (for example) even though I have admin rights without setting its permissions beforehand. If MSMG ToolKit could remove UAC would I have this problem? Also, how can I have no start menu tiles (I suspect it has to do with the RemoveStartMenuTiles.xml and w10_CustomStartMenuLayout.xml files) and what are these entries in the RemoveAppsList_W10_RS5_Template.txt, RemovePkgsList_Template.txt, RemoveStartMenuTiles.xml and w10_CustomStartMenuLayout.xml files and why do RemoveAppsList.txt and RemovePkgsList.txt files have no entries?
I was about to make clean install, but it seems we are going to get new version very soon. I'll have to wait then.
Having a strange issue with my 1809 image created using v9. I removed almost everything except Photo viewer, IE and Win32 Calc. I have 2 issues - Don't know if they are more Windows bugs or related to the image I created which was done according to the readme. (1). When I shut down the PC it restarts a couple of seconds later. (2). The network Icon shows no Internet access but internet access works fine. (IPv6 is disabled, and I've done netsh int ip reset; Troubleshooter repors no issues.) Nothing relevant in the event logs that I can see at this point. So I installed plain vanilla 1809, patched it to same as my image, and neither of the above issues exist. What am I doing wrong?
Hi! Will the issue with telemetry be solved in the new version. When you delete telemetry in Windows 10 Pro(1709,1803,1809),after you log in to your Microsoft account, the Calendar, Mail, Sticky Notes applications stop working... Thanks, sorry for Google translate.
MSMG, See where the error is. The package removal process is fine. Upon installation Defender is not deleted?

HOSTS file editing as been protected starting from some version of Windows 10 but is this query related to ToolKit? In order to have start menu tiles you need to import a custom start menu tiles with a single non-existence shortcut. RemoveAppsList_W10_RS5_Template.txt - A template file having the list of Appx package name RemovePkgsList_Template.txt - A template file having a sample Package name. RemoveStartMenuTiles.xml - An XML file used to remove all start menu tiles w10_CustomStartMenuLayout.xml - An XML file for user start menu layout RemoveAppsList.txt and RemovePkgsList.txt are empty as this needs to be filled by user based on RemoveAppsList_W10_RS5_Template.txt and Package List Remove Apps / Packages using List uses the DIMS to remove the Appx/Package.
Can't say I can fix this issue in next version since it requires further testing to know what's causing the error.
Specify the HOST, Source OS Info and how you removed these components, is it using Remove Windows Components or Remove Windows Components using Package List. If the source OS is v1809 then the Package list removal is not supported like below
Yes 1809 almost all these components are only removed defender accounted for separately in the manual) Defender is do not remove if using Package List , i dell it in component derectory
You didn't answer my query whether you did used the Remove Windows Component menu or Remove Windows Components using Package List menu? I'm asking because you are talking about RemovePkgsList file which uses the DISM method to remove components and the list you have given above is incorrect. For RS5 v1809 if had used the Remove Windows Component then all component gets removed without any issues.
