Soapm, the latest version of the toolkit is still being worked on. And it will (for now) only work on English RS5 versions. We can only hope that MSMG finds the time to update his tool and documentation. If you really need to chop version 1809, you can use GodHand's optimize offline script. It's x64 only but works with non-English images. Cheers.
I only know English so that parts fine, I found the written instructions for RS5 in the first post. I guess I didn't know 1809 was RS5 (was there a chart somewhere or something that converts/associates these numbers) so had no idea to follow that trail. I'm converting my *.esd to *.wim now and will see how the written instructions go before giving up on the tool. Thanks...
See the attached photo, in the video or in ToolKit 8, the first options on the removal screen is; Remove Default Metro Apps As you can see in the attached photo, version 9 doesn't have that option and I don't see anything in the written instructions on how to remove the metro apps. That's really what this exercise is about, removing those apps. Can someone explain how it's done with version 9 of the ToolKit?
Are you suggesting all of these will reinstall with the next update? This is my first time doing this so not sure how it works, will we have to go through this with every update??? By the way, I found you can remove some stuff by going in the first option, I'm just anal when following instructions and don't want to assume. So not sure why the menu change???
Yes, without additional registry entries that explicitly disable feature upgrades you'll get everything back again when 1809 updates to 1903 (or whatever the new build will be). You may use some reg files found on AskVG, those will disable the so called "feature upgrades". I can't help you with the menu's as I haven't used the toolkit yet, my images are Spanish so it probably would not succeed in baking the image correctly. Consider using LTSC, if you look for something with less bloat. Added benefit that it doesn't update every six months. Cheers.
My compliments and thanks to those who made this awesome application. I got it to work and windows 10 installed with far less stuff than I expected. This is my first file from powershell...

The reg files would only disable the feature updates, not the monthly security updates. It is however possible to disable both, we discussed this here some time ago. Personally, I would leave the monthly patches enabled. Cheers.
This is one of the fixes from the recently released KB4482877 W10 1809 Cumulative update... Addresses an issue with evaluating the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem to help ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows. Can't seem to find any info on what this really does, but it sure does look scary for those of us with "tweaked" installations (As in M$ are trying to make it harder to tweak)
nope.. i used toolkit.cmd as admin, just like it said.. and using version 9.1 with a freshly downloaded iso of windows 10, with the esd turned into a wim for win10 home. I got that same kind of error quite a bit when i was removing stuff from windows.. so not sure whats going on.. everything else worked fine.. from copying the source and converting
Any idea what's removing Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy Its causing the defender GUI not to work. Defender itself is running as a service but you can't launch the GUI without an error saying you need to get an app to display windowsdefender.
That is why it is called start. What start.cmd does is elevate toolkit.cmd with Nsudo to Trusted Installer, All Privileges.
