How to remove windows defender in ltsc in existing and installed windows ltsc 2019, if is it possible?
The toolkit only works on offline images, not on installed systems. You can try to disable defender, there are posts on this board on how to do that. Cheers.
Cleanup+resetbase+export image, no issues here. That's standard procedure after integrating updates. Cheers.
Please, tell us what method of updates integration you did, the exact steps and with what exact MSMG Toolkit versions, the updates integration part never changed.
it's easy. take the image LTSC 2019 x64 and MSMG 9.1 / integrate kb4486553 + kb4490481 / Cleanup the Source Image / Apply & Save Changes to Source Images / Re-Build Source Images take the image LTSC 2019 x64 and MSMG 9.2 / integrate kb4486553 + kb4490481 / Cleanup the Source Image / Apply & Save Changes to Source Images / Re-Build Source Images compare the size of images

Does anyone know what the troubleshooter relies on? I get an error 0x80070002 when trying to run troubleshooter on anything. Just something I noticed, I'm not actually trying to troubleshoot anything.
I think we're just waiting for the new version that works seamlessly with x64, hopefully it will be in time for the next update.
If you remove IE on LTSC'19 you might experience a problem with Volume Mixer, where "System Sounds" wouldn't persist between reboots and resets on next notification sound. Long story short: Volume Mixer can't create the subkey where it intends to store the volume levels, somehow it only affects System Sounds. A fix is to create this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry. Or you can apply it to default user's ntuser.dat for a system-wide fix. edit: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry]
The other dependency I didn't have before was AdvertisingXaml. Before, I removed everything except for OneNote and WindowsStore. Tested this on x64 v1809 pro image and it is working great. Thanks much!
