First off I'm thrilled to see the new version like everyone else! Fantastic!! I have only one MAJOR concern: Is there something I can do when building or avoid removing so I can use SFC /scannow and WinSXS cleanup to maintain the image? I plan to install 1809 LTSC on several machines until the next LTSC which may be 3 years if they space it as long again (hopefully not) but breakage is sure to occur. Personally I rely on these to repair any errors created from memory instability during memory overclocking (and perhaps to fix the results of other sleep deprived OS modifying shenanigans...) Also, new VC++ is out today! Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Runtime - 14.16.27024 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/repack-visual-c-redistributable-runtimes-2019-01-08.76588/
Many components do share common files and registry settings and also it differs with architecture and editions. Yes it needs more tweaking and testing to get the desired result.
Hi, guys. I use Windows 10 Redstone 5. Is it possible to set a default browser (Google Chrome) through the Registry Editor after installing Windows? Or it is better not to delete Internet Explorer?
hi there, latest toolkit is not on the media fire link? using mediafire because the site is far more accessible with my screen reader. also the archives folder is not on the media fire folder could this be added?
Tested with Windows 10 1809 Enterprise x86 and x64 images with the latest (released on 08/01/2019 - same date as Toolkit) SU and CCU updates. No problems found after running sfc /scannow on both virtual machines. This is my new method, in the order I do them: Spoiler Integrate Win32 calculator (3 > 3 > B) Apply updates (3 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 3) Cleanup (6 > 1) Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 1 > 8) Remove Onedrive, People, Connect, Skype (4 > 1 > 2 > H/J/K/P) Remove Store, Xbox, Game bar, Xbox ID (4 > 1 > 3 > R/3/4/5) Cleanup (6 > 1) Tweaks for Task View, App Downloads, Photo Viewer (5 > 5 > 2/4/7) Apply changes to image (6 > 2) Rebuild (6 > 1) Convert WIM to ESD (2 > 4)
On LTSC 2019 I removed all but a few system and advanced components. It was done using ToolKitHelper.exe from within a script. All is well so far. Not even any new errors in the event log. So nice to see all that junk out of there. I don't normally use sfc /scannow, but it did do a few restores when I tried it, not concerned much about it since I don't normally run it. I'm still making changes and testing my images so if need be I can look at it in more detail later. Can't thank you enough MSMG, you're a gosh darn wizard, love, love, love this tool.
Could I perhaps make a script for the ToolKitHelper to automate the removal from my own builds? This is my current method: Spoiler Integrate Win32 calculator (3 > 3 > B) Apply updates (3 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 3) Cleanup (6 > 1) Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 1 > 8) Remove Onedrive, People, Connect, Skype (4 > 1 > 2 > H/J/K/P) Remove Store, Xbox, Game bar, Xbox ID (4 > 1 > 3 > R/3/4/5) Cleanup (6 > 1) Tweaks for Task View, App Downloads, Photo Viewer (5 > 5 > 2/4/7) Apply changes to image (6 > 2) Rebuild (6 > 1) Convert WIM to ESD (2 > 4)
Pretty easy actually, just call your script with NSudo.exe -U:T -P:E yourscript.cmd then within the script make calls to ToolKitHelper.exe <path to image> <package>. Of course you'll also want your dism commands in there to do what needs to be done. MS documents dism very nicely. NSudo can be found in the package bin directory.
but it does not work out like this: 1) take the English image 17763.1 (as needed) 2) cut all unnecessary 3) embed language pack. In my case, this is Russian. Maybe so?
You can export, and import your default app associations online. Export on your current system, then import them after you install your new system. Change my paths for yours. Code: dism /online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:"F:\Commands\DefaultPrograms\FileAssociations.xml" dism /online /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:"F:\Commands\DefaultPrograms\FileAssociations.xml"
Since the usage order for R5 has changed to updates first, can MSMG Toolkit functionality be impacted by a new update? Was just wondering if I might run into any problems with the Toolkit after applying the latest cumulative update. Haven't tried it yet. I've only used the Toolkit with the .194 update at this point.
Build 17763.253 If you remove the Defender separately and not list, that normally is removed, and by the way no problems off SmartScreen. In the new version of the good changes. Thanks for your work)
MSMG Toolkit still doesn't show Cortana for removal from LTSC (the very original). I don't understand why it doesn't show up...
Are you talking about the installed OS or an offline image with .194 CU integrated? If it's Live OS, it doesn't matter it will install the updates without issues If it's an offline image then better do a fresh image with the new version.
