    ps... I had to change from the image I got with media creation tool since it didn't have an install.wim file in the sources folder. Perhaps I need to ask where to get the image that this tool works on. I'm not using the Windows 10 Home image that came with my laptop but I'm getting all kinds of errors and the selection menus don't match the ones in the video. For example, this are the options I have under remove...

    if your using the ms usb tool, that would be downloading rs5 aka 1809 aka 17763.107

    so you must use msmg toolkit v9

    Also getting this error. I checked back and someone said toolkit should be used only on en-us/en-gb images. I'm using it on an en-us iso - same problem.
    Host is an LTSC 1809 .107. Subject is the same .107 with integrated specific drivers for my new dell g3 and updates. Trying to remove defender and xbox crap.
    Funny thing is I don't even see the toolkithelper.exe inside the toolkit folder.

    Hi dear community,

    I've looked forward to this update because of the ability to costumize the win server 2019 os, but here is the problem: when i choose the option 4 for removing features it leads me to the option 5 costumizing and no chance to remove anything whatsoever. I checked out the description and as i copied below it says the win servers (2019, all editions) are supported. I verified if the install.wim is present in wim and not in esd format and its ok, no need to convert. The image is geniue so that couldn't be the problem.

    Can anybody help me, please, to solve this issue? Thanks in advence.

    But the video instructions don't explain how to use toolkit v9 and the menu's changed??? How do we know how to work the tool if you change the menus from the instructions???

    So consequently, the image I created with toolkit v8 left;

    Cortona
    Snip & Sketch
    Mixed Reality

    still in tact, not to mention a bunch of stuff I assumed would be gone. This is what I see in powershell...

    I'd really like to get rid of CBS Preview, I have no idea what it is but I know I don't need or want it. And Cortona, that thing just won't go away!!!

    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...

    Code:
    Name                                        PackageFullName

    But then the system updated and some of the things I took off came right back so I guess I have to find those registry files, do a new install without the network conneccted until I can get the registry entries in. This is powershell after the update...

    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) :confused:
