    In either powershell or cmd as administrator run this:
    Code:
    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:<path to install.wim /SourceIndex:<your image number> /DestinationImageFile:<path to destination install.wim> /Compress:maximum
    For example:

    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:i:\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:f:\install.wim /Compress:maximum

    Then replace the extracted install.wim to the toolkit dvd\sources folder.

    This works with install.esd also except you change maximum to recovery.

    You can even use this to go from esd to wim or wim to esd.

    Use the WIM Manager under ToolKit's Tools Menu to Rename, Delete, Split, Merge, Export, Capture, Cleanup WIM Images.

    I know, since the Windows Defender App resides inside another main OS package it needs manual removal of associated files.

    I'm working on it and will add it soon for removal.

    That can be added with a check if there are no pending operations left then do the cleanup process, Ok will add it.

    They are not missing, you just need to download them from the ToolKit's Download link and extract them to the Pack folder as instructed in the First Post.

    May I ask what's wrong with the Microsoft Games pack? I have been using for newer versions of MSMG and there doesn't appear to be any problems when I integrate it into my Windows 10 image.

    The Toolkit packs which have been removed contains some bugs which causes folder permission error and also some users are facing problem with office protected documents.

    I do need to make these packs from scratch i.e from a clean system and also for the upcoming ToolKit (GUI version) these Packs file/folder structure will be changing again and so I'm taking time to make it.

    Hello and marry Christmas and happy new year MSMG :)

    I just wanted to share with you a problem that has happened to me in every custom W10 build i make with the toolkit.

    i do the following steps for preparing the iso:

    1. I integrate calc and Directx
    2. I integrate these 2 updates: KB3206632 (OS Build 14393.576) and the latest update for the service stack (Servicing stack update for Windows 10 Version 1607: October 27, 2016 (KB3199986))
    3. Remove all metro apps
    4. Remove metro apps associations
    5. Remove all windows features offered to remove by the toolkit
    6. Remove all advanced windows features (except Internet Explorer 11)



    Everything is created fine. I boot up the system and everything works.
    Then i open Windows update to install maybe left out updates, it installs them and i reboot
    After the reboot: "Shell Host infrastructure (.exe)" fails to open everytime i click on the Start, battery, clock, calendar....or anything that is related to the metro ui of the shell infrastrucuture host. I even cannot connect to wifi.

    Now i don't know if it is related to Microsoft or to the toolkit. But if i install windows normally and apply the latest updates, this does not happen.
    Am i removing too many components? Maybe one of them breaks it.

    Thanks for you help :)

    Chopping and Updating the system do not mix, you cannot have both worlds

    Generally, yes
    specially since W10 updates are cumulative, and you can't skip anything that was previously removed

    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & everyone here at MDL.

    See, Here's how I use the ToolKit to make the image, install and use it.

    1) Integrate Features required usually NetFx35, Calc, DirectX if required
    2) Integrate the latest Servicing Stack (KB3199986)
    3) Integrate the latest Cumulative Update (KB3213522)
    4) Remove All Apps
    5) Remove All Components
    6) Remove All Advanced Components expect IE and Flash
    7) Apply & Re-Build the Image.
    8) Install the OS
    9) Apply the Anti-Telemetry Tweaks and Disable Windows Update.
    10) If any newer Updates are released I do manually download them and extract the actual .CAB file inside those .msu files and then use the below command-line method to update the system.

    dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:<packagepath/packagefilename>

    This way it updates fully without any problems.

    Note: Remove Metro Apps Associations is not required as you have removed all apps and the default settings are restored to the next available program.

    Hello MSMG,

    Yes this was very useful, i will do the same. Please make it a sticky this thread's content and maybe put it into the main post.

    Just one more question: Do you leave: Edge/IE?

    Thank you vary much,
    Wish you all the best,
    Genci

    But the processes are nearly (exactly) the same???

    I tried to reproduce what you said. No problem at all.

    Yes, it's nearly same but with only few changes like Integrating Servicing Pack before the CU and manually installing update using it's CAB file.

    I haven't tired using the Windows Update to update the system as it resets my custom Modded Intel Display Driver with a generic one.

    May be I should like with a different system and see if I can fix the installation of online updates.
