    Here's a little tidbit I received from Corsair today.

    I typically remove Windows error reporting, but Corsair tell me their iCue software depends on WER. So if you use Corsair AIO coolers with their iCue software WER should probably not be removed.

    MDL Developer, does the new version support the removal of functions "Clipboard history" and "Timeline" ?

    - Yes after the OOBE the screen will be blank for some time and then the desktop appears.

    - You need to run the Image cleanup once before the component removal and once after the removal.

    - Yes the SFC errors are their in v9.1 but it's been fixed in v9.2

    Unfortunately now install_wim_tweak method is limited due to various packages are being merged with every new builds coming out, It will be difficult to have a maximum stripped image list.

    No these components aren't added yet, as far as I have seen these components are turned off using tweaks.

    Updated the ToolKit to v9.2

    Highlights:

    - WADK v10.0.18356.1 Tools.
    - Windows 10 v1607 x86 CU Integration Fix.
    - Windows 10 v1809 Multi-Language Image Component Removal.
    - SFC, Windows Updates and Set Default Browser Setting Fixes.
    - FaceRecognition, GameExplorer, LocationService Components Removal.

    Note:

    - Only for x86 builds the component removal is working fully.
    - For x64 LTSC Edition the component removal is not working.
    - For x64 Non-LTSC Editions the setup is failing when some Inbox Apps are removed, I have made a safe list of working components that can be removed.

    Code:
    Remove System Apps, Advanced Windows Components and then remove the below Apps which requires manual removal.
    
    WalletService
    StickyNotes
    Photos
    Paint3D
    Maps
    CommunicationsApps
    Calculator
    HEIFImageExtension
    

    For ToolKitHelper.exe I have added more menus/groups for easier usage:

    I just tested 9.2 with w10 pro 17763.1 en_us x64, removed everything except Windows Photo Viewer, Internet Explorer (so I can choose default browser) and Paint. I didn't integrate any updates and only integrated 1 small driver. It installed without issues and so far is running fine. MSMG what issues were you talking about when you said 9.2 has issues with x64 win 10?

    I believe you may see errors if you run this command in a command prompt window:
    Code:
    dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    Also try:
    Code:
    sfc /scannow

    When you run that command online, it shouldn't give errors, only offline when the pending flag is set, by offline enabling dotnetfx3, for example.

    I didn't get errors with either of those commands. I was expecting a repair with sfc /scannow but it finished without errors. Just noticed that according to the changelog (which I forgot to read) sfc errors are fixed and the default browser issue is also fixed.

    That's a really good sign.

    On LTSC x64 using ToolKitHelper.exe v9.1 only to remove flash player was resulting in a component cleanup error. Returned a file not found complaint.

    I also experimented with the toolkit v9.1 removing most components and ran into some odd issues. Of course there was the sfc problem, but I also had an issue with File explorer restarting and apps throwing an address exception at odd times. That was strange.

    I don't know if I should try again since MSMG flat out stated component removal is broken for LTSC x64. In a production sense I only need the toolkit for flash player removal. I can live with just disabling everything else.

    There is a problem installing updates through the update center when you uninstall the Unified Telemetry Client (Asimov). Check out 17763.1.

    To make a long story short w10 LTSC x64 en_us doesnt work too well after a succesfull install.
