MSMG ToolKit

The photo viewer files are missing so the reg tweak doesn't work. This tool did a thorough job or removing photo viewer.

Is the installer here? Any idea what the installer by abbodi is called? Nevermind, found it.

 

For a moment, I thought you were giving up on RS5 and planning your return for 1903

DONT LEAVE US OUR HERO

 

Honestly MSMG, you have nothing at all to apologise for. If anything, I feel some users should apologise to you for what is almost bordering on harassing you for an update - these users should realise that your work doesn't cost us anything, however it does cost a lot of your time.

 

UPDATE:

So I added back:

============================================================
MSMG ToolKit - Remove System Apps Menu
============================================================

[E] FileExplorer - File Explorer App
[F] LockApp - Lockscreen App
[O] SettingSync - Setting Sync

The result is a bigger ISO with the same issues

 

U need 17763.1 iso bro. I can only clean sources with this iso.
You can use SVF2ISO tool to get it.

 

I've never done an update to my image but my understanding is that updates may add back some of the features and apps your worked so hard to remove. This is why you want to start and strip down the latest build.

 

Afaik, MSMG Toolkit only works properly on the baseline build (no updates integrated).

But i have seen a post from MSMG, it should work on refresh iso's, but that wasn't so in the past.

 

You might be right and I may have misunderstood the response I got in this post;

I can't get group policy editor to work using a bat file that runs the below. Anyone knows what I might have removed to break this?

Code:

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"

dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt

for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
pause

This is the error I get...

The next question is how do you do a repair without loosing all your stuff? The way I do it is by selecting the setup.exe file and doing an in-place upgrade but there is no setup.exe file in this image???

 

My MSMG was working a couple days ago. I recently started using it again for another ISO, but I re-did the unzipping process and loaded up MSMG, I got this error after trying to load the ISO from DVD folder. Can anyone help?

 

The output is the wim file. Then you can just replace the install.wim in the .iso with the one you just made with MSMG toolkit.
The iso will have the setup files you need to complete the process.
You will want to make a copy of the original .iso, but you probably figured that out already.

Cheers.

 

Don't use a path with spaces. Use simple paths.
Also, when unzipping the MSMG toolkit, use a fresh folder. Not the old one unless you know what you are doing.

Cheers.

 

Wow, that actually worked (not that I'm surprised) but then I got an error about half way through the update saying, "Cannot Configure Windows on this Computer". It then rebooted and uninstalled everything it just installed and I logged back in to find the attached message.

I'm found how to disable "activity history" in regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Policies
Microsoft
Windows
System

look at string "PublishUserActivities" change value of this string to 0 in hexadecimal type.
if you are don't have this string just insert it in a DWORD 32-bit type and set it to 0.

 

I was using simple paths. I used the local C drive main directory.

 

That happened to me at one point due to adding the cumulative update out of order. You have to pay close attention to the documentation.

 

I removed Windows Defender, but Windows Defender Firewall service is still running. How can i disable that service ? I did not find any option in group policy.
I install Norton Security but it do not disable Defender Firewall service.
