    Should i remove features and packages before or after integrating updates into LTSB 2016 (or before and after) and should i rebuild source images inbetween, what is the process here?

    Hopefully just busy and not sick or something similar. This is a free tool so he is under no obligation to rush back.

    I've always found that annoying the way Windows flags some file types you download from the internet or other computers as a security risk. Another impotent attempt at security they're famous for. It's like master of stating the obvious. The registry hack below disables that behavior;
    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
    "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001
    
    Below is a Powershell script that can be used to find all previously flagged files;
    Code:
    $ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
    dir C:\ -Recurse | Get-Item -Stream "Zone.Identifier"
    Write-Host ""
    Write-Host "Press any key to continue ..."
    $x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")

    Yeah bad on me for not adding comments. I do pay for that once in while. Good thing I'm not a programmer. I've gone back to stuff I've not worked on for a while scratching my head on it.

    It works? Did you test?

    This registry tweak is based on a group policy that only exists at the user level so the correct one would be this:

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
    "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001

    this is what I use on Windows versions with no GPE and it works. Apply the tweak then reboot:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download]
    "CheckExeSignatures"="no"
    "RunInvalidSignatures"=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
    "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]
    "LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.msu;.wav;"

    Hello!. Wherever I try to remove apps using remove advance apps or the others, I get error
    ToolKitHelper.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    I can remove apps using RemoveAppsList and RemovePkgsList.
    Windows 1809 Pro 17763.107

    Any help would be great! Thanks

    But there is only the policy in User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager.
    They do not exist in Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager for example.

    That's what I'm questioning. So the key with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE should not work but I have not tested it.
    From Microsoft you can expect anything.

    Well it does work under the machine hive, easy enough to check. If there's something you don't like about putting it there then put it under the user hive.

    I'm sure there's a number of tweaks I use that don't appear in the group policy editor, haven't checked them all, not a prerequisite for me using them. I generally don't use gpedit except to verify something. I always add my reg tweaks with a reg file. That is actually a super handy utility MS has engineered for the registry.

    Yep, you can delete Defender stuff with latest MSMG Toolkit. Location for deletion is:
    Remove -> Remove Windows Components -> Advanced Components -> WindowsDefender

    Hi all Will the latest MSMG Toolkit work on LTSC 2019 ISO? Do I have to do any pre set up in Toolkit or just run it? Thanks
