    I know you can upgrade an MSMG Toolkit image with a newer image serviced with MSMG Toolkit.But i'm confused about just using windows update. unless you mean windows update wont download/install a newer windows version or has blocks for this?

    Still not having much luck scripting tookithelper. Got it to start making installable images pulling CEIS_SQL (customer experience) when removing the first half of the toolkithelper component list. Added the rest of the list and it starting bombing on installs again. Looks like it happens during device setup after the first reboot. Well that's it for me, I'll have to wait for the next release before I mess with it anymore.

    I may have to rebuild 6 Windows 7 computers tomorrow. Going to need to integrate USB 3 and NVMe drivers into my image.
    I can't find a reference to what the last version of MSMG supported Windows 7...
    can someone please refresh my failing memory. TNX

    EDIT: Ughh! As soon as I post I find a reference...

    MSMG said:

    v8.8 is left to be in the main folder to support W7-10 RS4.
    The updated ToolKitHelper.exe is for RS5 only.

    hi there,
    my thanks for msmg toolkit!
    completely removed all windows apps, system apps, and advanst components.
    the resulting windows iso worked without issues.
    would it be at all possible to add keyboard layout removable support?
    keep the ones you use remove all others?
    or put keyboard layouts you wish to keep in a file and ones that are not specified get removed?
    bit like the apps list concept?
    e.g. you would put the layouts you want to keep e.g.
    en-gb

    also would it be possible in the integrate sub menu I select drivers it asks which image you want to integrate to? To have a forth option to integrated in to all mounted images?
    Would be a useful option 
    If the first option will take time to implement down the road, it does not matter the second sounds great 
    I hope my post makes some sort of sense 
    Happy new year each and every one of you for tomorrow!
    Majid

    this tool has evolved for a long time. rushing brings absolutely zero, nothing.. until ms and / or windows is dead (the company as well as windows will die one day!) the game is not to end.

    mhh yes, i did even more than just trying! because i decided microslop IS DEAD, according to my internet use for the rest of continues, i use linux for >2 month now! beside again solving this incredible bug with the encrypted home directory and so easily running linux 3 or 4 times unbootable, i have new shoes now (the impact and brutality of the bug it knocked me out of my shoes), leaned using it better and are happier than ever with it! windows nothing more than "sadness" and a not passing disappointment to degrees! even changing the user profile picture is a gigantic task in that crappy system if it got the only possible therapy..

    I load all the user profile pictures to mounted install.wim, that way it is there automatically, and I don't need to worry about anything.

    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?

    Readme.txt

    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.
