Yes The current Toolkit only works with v1809 and for older version use v8.8 until the support is added back. I have corrected the menu bug with a display message to use v8.8 in the upcoming version.
MSMG: what's absolutely broken in 9.2 with regards to x64? Maybe I can just not remove too many things. Just wanna know what to avoid doing for now.
There are 3 components you can't remove in 9.1 for the LTSC and those are the device lockdown, telemetry , and windows reality. sfc scannow will come up clean.
@MSMG Do you know which component is safe for removal using the Windows 10 LTSB 1607 ISO with toolkit 8.8? perhaps is there a older version that works flawlessly? Toolkit v8.8 used, Windows 10 LTSB 1607 ISO used Attempt #1 iso, used windows 10 ltsb 1607, installed windows update first, integrate windows setup media updates, removed all components (windows component > advance windows component ). Order: Integrated updates first: Windows10.0-KB4489889-x64 Windows10.0-KB4132216-x64 Windows10.0-KB4485447-x64 Windows Component Removed: all Windows components Advanced Windows Component removed: A,B,D,E,G,J,K Result: sfc /scannow show up error Attempt #2 iso, used windows 10 ltsb 1607 , did not install windows update, did not integrate windows setup media updates, removed all components in same order below (windows component> advance windows component). Windows Component Removed: all Windows components Advanced Windows Component removed: A,B,D,E,G,J,K Result: sfc /scannow show up error
I have found it very useful to change line 2546 in toolkit.cmd from if "%SelectedSourceOS%" equ "w10" if %ImageBuild% gtr 17763 ( to if "%SelectedSourceOS%" equ "w10" if %ImageBuild% gtr 99999 (. In this way I can use the MSMG toolkit as a convenient mount tool.
Is there a version of toolkit that is good for ltsc 2019 x64 en_us (17763.1)? Can everything be removed without problems? I don"t care about sfc errors I just wont run it. Nvm it looks like 9.1 is my best bet.
I see, when I checked with Pro image there were SFC errors with those components, may be in LTSC the erroring files/folders aren't affected.
Give me a week, will fix the issues, since there are many components depending on each other, It's taking time. Try not removing FaceRecognition and LocationService and use a image without updates.
Actually any version below v8.9 are prone to get SFC errors due to using DISM for component removal. Do wait until the support is added back for older versions of Windows to use the new component removal method.
