I removed those two components so what problems may I have? Which components you recommend us not to remove on Windows 10 1809 x64 non-LTSC images like mine?
This will be best if the ToolKit has language file like decrypt-multi-release.therefore,my localization work can reduce a lot,not now I make a lot of localization for each version.
I'm using a win10 enterprise rs5 ltsc image and I get this series of errors when removing components (and I'm only removing components, not adding or changing anything else). Anybody knows how to avoid those errors to come up when removing elements (I'm trying to remove all components)?
Try these steps: 17763.1 x64 LTSC (non updated version), add updates (do not run Component Cleanup) and then remove components. At the end run Component Cleanup. In my case (it-ita) it does the job with no issues and the installed image seems to work properly
Using DISM to remove a component will remove more or less required and so it can break other components and also give SFC errors. I need to update the database for pre-RS5 builds and then I will add the support these OS.
With my recent tests those components when removed broke the Windows Setup, still need to further test, hope to fix all issues soon.
If you are using Start.cmd to run the ToolKit, the error should come and and make sure .NET FX 472 is installed.
Have you considered receiving donations / equipment to speed up the process of testing your toolkit? gofund perhaps? A new m.2 ssd will speed up the work you do for this community. a new cpu will drastically help with the m.2 as well.
I would fund this 100% myself to be honest @MSMG. I am in a great place and like helping out projects like this. From my person experience building images I can say with certainty that cores, clock speed, RAM and I/O all matter. Cores in particular can make quick work of certain DISM tasks. Other DISM tasks will only use 1 thread so you can't skimp on clock speed either.

Also, don't forget to suppress the error messages from the options.
It's my first time using MSMG and trying to debloat and customize a windows iso, have come into this problem though where image cleanup doesn't work for me. Steps which I followed was to mount sources from dvd folder, then cleaned up metro apps and windows components, applied some default tweaks which came with MSMG, then saved the image from the apply menu. Everything went fine but when I went to cleanup a win image index, ran into the error 0x800f0806 "This operation could not be completed due to pending operations. Although the remaining two options Cleanup Image with Checkhealth and Cleanup Image with Scanhealth run fine. What am I doing wrong, I already saved the image. I also made some changes to the name/description of the image indexes and removed the entries which I didn't need, but I've already saved my progress. What pending operations there could be?
It doesn't hurt to read a bit, this has been asked before and answered. If you had integrated .net framework 3.5, it will set the pending flag. If you did not integrate .net 3.5, then maybe something else set the pending flag. Cheers.
Is it possible to also remove with one click Map Control, OneDrive, Quick Assist, Retail Demo Content, Setting Sync, Skype ORTC, CEIP_SQM, Face Recognition, First Logon Animation, Game Explorer, Internet Explorer, Location Service, SmartScreen, Unified Telemetry Client, Windows Error Reporting and Windows Mixed Reality?
MSMG, It looks like Mixed Reality is being reinstalled by CU: - 17763.1 LTSC 64 ITA succesfully removed components with Toolkit - added SSU 402 and CU 437 - re-run Toolkit's removal and all components are seen as "already removed" except Mixed Reality (which is succesfully removed again) Thank You
Yeah, sorry, I didn't read much of the forum since it's quite big. But anyways, I did integrate .net framework 3.5 and thanks for telling me about it. Kudos I'll try it in a bit and give my results. The link I posted is from the template files I got from MSMG, although somehow when I ran it it gave me "This package has been removed already." message. I think the package names must have been changed in the April build or is different in the LTSC version so can't say. But yes if it works for you, it should remove all those apps you mentioned. MSMG, can I use dism commands from the toolkit or after mounting the wim images? I wanted to see if the packages are really removed or not and would try to remove them manually if they aren't getting removed with the list I provided.
@Supern00b Thanks, that worked great. Just tried it out and it works. @MSMG I got some questions, sorry for not reading the thread before hand. But I was thinking of implementing something just like Dell's Support Assist. In a fresh newly bought dell laptop, there's a partition which is meant for dell support assist. I was wondering to do something like that but instead implement a winpe to it instead which would act like support partition in case of system failure. Is it possible to achieve this? If so how, shall I remove the windows original recovery partition? My idea was to leave that one alone and instead create a new partition and a recovery image which will automatically be loaded to it and a new entry to boot to it would be made.
