    Msmg,

    Does RS5 (1903) require a new dart? new classic calc?

    Still checking out the components to identity the fault.

    It's RS6 (1903) and yes it needs a new Dart DebugTools and the Classic Calc is the same but the ToolKit script needs to be updated.

    I have uploaded the new Dart Pack just two days back in this thread do check out.

    Oh, ok, I didn't know that, I exactly thought it was the classic Windows Explorer, thanks for the info. How about Setting Sync? I have kept it in case that it depends from some system settings and may cause problems if removed.

    Yes, I didn't get any errors whatsoever, while removing the packages and later installing the OS from created image.

    Only one thing I've noticed that is a bit strange. Clean install, first boot to the desktop and in notification center pops up a message - the default browser was reset, an app caused a problem with your default browser. I have kept both browsers - Edge and IE, but removed Adobe Flash. Maybe here is the problem? But again, IE without Flash is working fine.

    This thing happens to me too, it will only bother you 4-5 times. I think it was to do because I always use the function "[3] Remove Default Metro Apps Association XML" at the "[5] Customize" menu.

    Yes, I also use this option, maybe you are right, @MSMG what do you think? Also I have other question, will you add the features to apply skins to classic Calc, WMP and WPV in 1809 build?

    Yes, you can keep the Setting Sync if you use online accounts to login and sync the data b/w devices.

    Glad to know it's working for you, then I need to check why I'm getting error with the installation when all components are moved.

    Removing Default Metro Apps Association XML is not mandatory, it's an option provided and that's why I haven't added it in the Usage Guide, Even I don't use it.

    Ok, I was thinking that's mandatory when you remove metro apps. So if I remove the apps and not remove the associations, nothing will happen? I mean, in settings and default apps list will be empty, no association with non-existent anymore apps?

    Yes I do know how to install OS without them, already done so. And yes I wanted to create one such partition but instead of that I came to a different solution. Instead of using that I'll create a normal partition, put a winpe boot.wim (Bob Omb's modified winpe) on it. Put windows own winre on it, and put dell's winre on it too and make entries through easy bcd to all of them. This will allow me access to windows recovery easily without having the trouble for it to start only when there's some error.
    It'll also allow me to use dell's support assist without having dell's own windows. And it'll also allow me to use bomb's winpe without any hitches. Moreover I'll put the windows iso on it too so that I can install os anytime. That's my setup, for a backup I'll use macrium and take a full disk snapshot of my disk partitions after everything is set up and running.

    I have an issue here though. First I want this partition to be the same as windows recovery partition, I mean in the way that it doesn't show up. Also I don't want it to be accessible through windows at least and only accessible to boot manager or when it's booting, is there any way I can do that. This is to avoid modifications to it from within windows in case of any virus or malware snuck inside.

    If we do not care about SFC errors (LTSC w/ V9.0 or V9.1), what issues will arise from using the OS on main computer? If we do sfc scanerror and it fixes the problem, what is the problem fixed? restored component?

    Among other things, it can (try to) undo the modifications done to the install.

    @MSMG:

    I have now been able to test the image made with the latest toolkit. The result is flawless.
    Promised some feedback, here it is:

    Source: Win 10 LTSC x64 US English
    Target: Win 10 LTSC x86 Spanish
    Build process was already reported to be flawless.
    I did a "SFC /scannow" after finishing deployment, and it came up totally clean, no errors at all.
    No issues with WU or integrated metro apps.
    I don't use the normal setup but instead I use imageX from a customized WinPE.

    Pretty happy with the result, you've really made an awesome tool for the community, thanks again.

    Cheers.
