    Does MSMG will properly work with Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 (LTSB)? I wanted to de-bloat this version further and also want to remove Windows Defender, etc. just like removing all the crap from Windows 10 Home and Pro.

    probably didnt like special/regional letters in your directories structure (image path), use something like d:\toolkit.

    surement une histoire d'accent ou d'espace dans ton chemin, au plus simple tu met le toolkit a la racine de ton disque (genre d:\toolkit)

    The new version has been postponed to another 1-2 days due to some bugs with component removal which breaks the Windows Setup and OOBE.

    The normally removed telemetry and searching with cortana? Currently, the deletion and the sfc /scannow command violated the integrity of the files. How are things with the new version and does it make sense to wait for the new version at all?

    Known Issues:
    =============

    - Using ToolKit When Antivirus Programs are Enabled can Affect the ToolKit's Operations.
    - The ToolKit may or may not work properly with Windows 10 Refreshed Images due to the way the DISM works.
    - ToolKit's ToolKitHelper.exe may be flagged as a Virus/Trojan/Malware Program, Don't worry it's just a False Positive Sign.
    - 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 8.1 - Integrating Windows Remote Server Administration Tool (RSAT) Alone will get Integrated But when It's Integrate after Integrating All other Components It will break the Integration with an Error code 0x80092004.
    - Windows 10 Threshold 1 - Integrating Latest Cumulative Update is Not Possible due to Lack of Availability of a Servicing Stack.
    - 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 2 - During Setup OOBE, At the Network Selection Screen, When You Choose Skip, The Setup will Show an Error - "Something went wrong, you can try again, or skip this for now", Just choose Skip.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 2/3/4 - When Custom User Account Picture is Integrated, The Picture is not Displayed in Logon Screen Although it's been Displayed in StartMenu User Icon.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 3/4/5 - Removing Unified Telemetry Client (Asimov) under Microsoft Telemetry Component breaks Sticky Notes App and the Ability to Install Drivers through Windows Update.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 4 - Removing Windows Media Player Component from an Image with a Cumulative Update pre-integrated will break the Windows Installation.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 3/4 - It has been Reported that in the Format USB Function, the Diskpart command "list" is not Working when used within a Script.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 3/4 - It has been Reported that the Win32Calc Pack Integration breaks the Office 365 Preview Handlers.
    - 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.
    - Windows 10 Redstone 5 - Removing Adobe Flash for Windows will get restored through Windows Update since it is a standalone package which is updated only through the Windows Update.


    For RS5 if you need to completely remove the components without any traces of it then you may also need to remove Windows Update + SFC + Programs & Features etc.

    I have made changes to couple of components which also contains Telemetry removal and I'm yet to test for the reported bugs, so far the installation is going fine with one component Windows Search breaking OOBE for x86 and I'm yet to identity the component which breaks the Windows Setup for x64 builds.

    in ntlite, there are no integrity violations, the update center is running and the system is updated when components are deleted.

    Meaning is lost then deletion, if at sfc / scannow everything comes back.

    Thank you so much for your work on this tool. Poking around looking at how to remove these packages reveals it's possible to make the packages visible and remove them with dism, but they didn't bother to make that work right. Can't imagine what it takes to solve the problem.

    There's not many tools out there for package removal, don't think there's any that can do R5. Anyway, patiently awaiting the next release and I'll try removing components again. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help in terms of testing.

    hi there,
    was thinking,
    would it be possible to have a btsync or equivelent setup for the distribution of the msmg toolkit?
    would make distribution easia and not relient on http downloads
    would help people with slow internet connections.
    just a thought.

    User pictures are in ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures. You will need to make your picture the same size and name of the ones there. Then when you mount your ISO, adn replace the pictures. Yu will need to change a registry setting to "HKLM\HKLM_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "UseDefaultTile" /t REG_DWORD /d "1". I believe this is the protocol for MSMG toolkit when you mount the registry. Then it will load up your user picture on logon screen, also.

    I want to remove telemetry from 1809 (17763.1), but the violation of the integrity of the files is not very good. Even took 8.9 version and the same thing - a violation of the integrity of the files. When sfc / scannow is from winsxs folder, the remote is returned again. I hope maybe someone knows how to remove then the telemetry at the same time that the integrity of the files were not broken when the sfc /scannow command?
