The one I posted here included the latest Windows updates, the one I sent Major Geeks does not have the Windows updates MSU files that's why.. It's the same
hi anybody had experience to remove windows defender from win 10 1809 without break anything(windows update or driver update for example) ? thanks
Heyho What could be the reason that I cannot open the Nvidia Control Panel? Usually it opens with a Licence Agreement, but this window won't open :S Btw. iam grateful for your program and I rly don't know how you keep updating it while it is for free :O Amazing
I have removed Defender in 1709 and 1809. Apart from /sfc updates work. nVidia Control panel works. I don't allow drivers to be downloaded from Windows Update - that's just asking for trouble.
That business with automatically updating drivers is something I really dislike about win10. I shut it off in the wim image by injecting group policy settings to the registry while the image is mounted for configuration. As an experiment I allowed Windows to handle all the drivers for my recent model laptop just to see and it messed it up royally. If MS is going to automate driver installation do it right or don't do it at all. But that's what I've come to expect with MS, you always have to disable all the retarded stuff they think is a feature.
You mean shut off driver updates offline? You can find the online stuff in the group policy editor. Here's the reg tweaks I use offline; Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Device Metadata] "PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching] "DontPromptForWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001 "DontSearchWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001 "DriverUpdateWizardWuSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000 "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001 To apply those reg edits I mount the wim image, then mount the registry hive. In my case I mount it to "temp" under hklm. The wim image in my case is mounted to d:\temp\wim_offline. The tweaks above are in a reg file called hklm_offline.reg. Looks like this in my script; Code: reg load HKLM\temp d:\temp\wim_offline\windows\system32\config\software regedit /s hklm_offline.reg reg unload HKLM\temp
When downloading the MSMG File from MEGA, should you download all the files (Archive, GUI teaser, packs etc) or just the Toolkit V9.1? The Packs folder is over 36GB so should I download the whole folder or just specific things? If it's just specific things, were do I place the downloaded files.
According to @MSMG, SFC is broken in the current version. I can't find his post about this, but it was something along the lines of it might result in removed components being restored.
Anybody know how MSMG figures out what registries are involved? And how he tests? It's a bit long in wait, I feel compelled to fix things up on my own. What does toolkit.exe actually do?
I am totally lost, I got about 30 seconds into the video and it says to down load the toolkit AND Net 3.5. I saw the link to download the kit but I don't see anywhere to download NetFX35_W10_RS3.7z used in the video since Microsoft's file is named dotnet.exe or dotnet35.exe. Also in the first post of this thread is a myriad of Net 3.5 packs to chose from with hash marks but no links to where to get them. And how do I know if I have Windows 10 Redstone 1, 2, 3 vs Windows 10 Threshold 2. I used Microsoft's media creation tool to download my version of Windows 10 Home if that helps. I'm sure hoping the rest of the video goes better than the first 30 seconds??? ps... I did find a NetFX462.7z in one of the folders in the first link, can I use it? I don't want to use the wrong file and end up with a mess. Edited to add: At 4:37 into the video he pulls up the list of instructions so he doesn't miss a step. I don't see that list anywhere, where do I find those instructions?
