I've been testing 1809 on my test-pc since v9.0 came out. Apart from the wake from sleep issue that's been around since 1507, I've not experienced any problems. I just upgraded my sons PC today, and so far no issues. Removed everything except IE and Photo Viewer. I have a 1709 laptop that was created from v8.2, which I was going to reinstall with v8.8 as windows updates are broken and applications regularly hang. Given the lack of issues I've had with 1809 viz v9.0 MSMG, I think I will just go straight to 1809... I'll report back if I have any issues.
Will it support Xbox.TCUI app, 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 in future versions?
Didn't get an answer to my question I posted for LTSC 2019 (Post #9172), but I think I have it figured out. Looking at the readme in the MSMG distribution I should first remove components then apply updates. Then I should use dism /clean-image /startcomponentcleanup and finally add dotnet 3.5. That sound right? Seems to work fine in my script, reduces the size of install.wim about 320MB. The smaller the better so I don't have to split the image down the road when the cu files get bigger.
Sounds similar, 3.19 GB after integrating about 32 MB of drivers. Only thing I'm adding other than that is dotnet 3.5.
eh.. LoL ^^ you are a customer, a patient, because you deal with this... eh .. os, named windows - without need!!! joke!! simply everyone still relying on this batch of cood of a os is totally insane, hasn't got the right corner. so.. what you "are in", when you disabled uac (you should - it's ms' joke steal your time for various actions ;-) is called "admin approval mode"! this means you frequently have to provide credentials. and this is everything different than easy to.. "mitigate". often you in fact have to be fast. by using prepared links, scripts and so on, but even that was already adressed by microslop, windows is watching your actions all the time, in a number of layers! i erased "system restore" with good results! further there are "shadow copies" windows is using against you, resilient file system 2.0, and i think "MSQM" is one of the most brutal features of windows. admin is nothing.. sorry for posting so much, but i deal with this crap every day i almost destroyed my latest 1809 install. as always, but hiberboot still works and i notice windows is not amused because sysrestore is absent, reason for hope! - - - - - to make this clear, you have to use the septembre image 17763.1 !!! (i am also that dumb, used a dirty image many times) if you do not, component cleanup & resetbase doesn't work, it ends at 20% many times and says everything is fine.... if you use RTM image (17763.1) the process works and takes much longer to complete
May be but I'm not in a hurry to add more components as it will become more difficult for me to manage/troubleshoot.
Yes. If you want to use W81 ADK then you need to modify the script Code: :: Setting WADK tools environment path variables if "%HostVersion%" equ "6.1" set "DISM=%~dp0Bin\%HostArchitecture%\DISM81\Dism.exe" if "%HostVersion%" neq "6.1" set "DISM=%~dp0Bin\%HostArchitecture%\DISM10\Dism.exe" To Code: :: Setting WADK tools environment path variables if "%HostVersion%" neq "10.0" set "DISM=%~dp0Bin\%HostArchitecture%\DISM81\Dism.exe" if "%HostVersion%" equ "10.0" set "DISM=%~dp0Bin\%HostArchitecture%\DISM10\Dism.exe"
OMG i was thinking that version 8.8 was removed since the archive folder has all the versions except 8.8. Is version 8.8 working fine with windows 8.1 ?
Hi I was wonder what the effects of upgrading an MSMG created ISO would have (Using Windows Update)? EX. Upgrading 1803 to 1809. I have heard it would just install all the bloat back and have no other side effects. Others have said it would completely corrupt the installation i would just like some clarification on this.
Thanks, I will. This is the number one thread for me on this forum right now. The build itself is working well, haven't tried an install with the image it generates yet, but I will today probably. Hopefully will work well. Seems to build without issue though.

@MSMG - Sir, if I replace the toolkithelper.exe in the archive with the latest version in your link, will it bring any performance improvement ?. Is the latest version meant for all msmg versions ? Thanks
v8.8 is left to be in the main folder to support W7-10 RS4. The updated ToolKitHelper.exe is for RS5 only.
@MSMG , how do you get the DaRT iso into a tpk file? It says it cannot find the tpk file for the DaRT.
