Starting with v8.9 the component removal for Post Windows 10 RS5 has been temporarily removed, so use v8.8
Yeb, do take care of yourself, I'm really saying. I, @ffs_ and @nosirrahx are most happy to hear such updates from you.
I never found the First Logon Available in NTLite to be removed (can I remove it in the free version, paid version or both?) but only disabled. And how can I install the apps? Can I use the files you made available in the mega folder? Anyway, since my start menu isn't working they probably wouldn't be useful.
It's available under Multimedia category next to Enhanced Video Render component and it requires a paid version of NTLite to remove it. In the mega folder I have uploaded just the plugins, store and Xbox apps and it's dependency files and yes you can use it to install on live system. If DesktopAppInstaller App is installed then each Appx files get recognized in Windows and just double click it to install or use the below command to install the app Dism /online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:<Appx-File> /DependencyPackagePath:<DependencyAppx-File> /LicensePath:<License-File> Replace the <> content with the actual filenames.
Thanks. I've found the First Logon Animation. In my NTLite it doesn't appear under the Enhanced Video Renderer (EVR) (and not Enhanced Video Render like you said) component but as an isolated component but I can't remove it anyway since I don't have the paid version. I don't have the DesktopAppInstaller app but if I can install the Store app I think I can install the few apps I wanted that came with Windows.
TOTAL and UTTER confusion... What should I use for LTSC 1809 component removal - MSMG Toolkit 9.0 or 8.8?
