Copy the patched uxtheme dll file in the folder <Packs\UxTheme\w10\x64> and use the Integrate Custom Features->Integrate Custom UxTheme Patch menu.
well I also removed all components, and got sfc errors, and some things were even restored/repaired :|
Done some test today. ISO 17763.1 x64 es-ES (es_windows_10_consumer_edition_version_1809_updated_sept_2018_x64_dvd_500f371e.iso) Only had problems with the following components when removed: - Photos (4-1-U) - Unified Telemetry Client [Asimov] Package (4-3-V)
Done some testing too with creating new x64 1809 build image Home and Pro pl-PL and en-US. Here are components safe to remove (from Toolkit list, not custom packages list): - Windows Apps (4-1-1) - all, - System Apps (4-1-2) - B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, P, removing A - AADBrokerPlugin and O - SettingSync will cause problems with Work Folders (Control Panel -> System and Security) - an attempt to open this element results freezing; - Advanced Windows Components (4-1-3) - A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, N, P, V, Z, 1, 5, 6, 7, of course G - Edge or L - InternetExplorer for example also are safe to remove, but I am keeping it for my personal preferences. Also If you remove Edge, you can remove M - KernelDebugging and X - WindowsErrorReporting. If you remove this components keeping Edge, Edge will open and close instantly, which results in it being unusable. @MSMG I've noticed also, that if you don't remove default metro apps association and enable Windows Photo Viewer, Toolkit is enabling WPV properly, but is not setting it as default photo viewer. When you remove the association and enable WPV, Toolkit sets it as default viewer. This also applies to 1803 build. I haven't noticed it earlier, but it came up when I was browsing system settings to check if something is not working properly.
Actually there shouldn't be any sfc errors as I have checked with all components removed. Remove All Apps (No SFC Errors) Remove All System Apps + Advanced Components (No SFC Errors)
Thanks for testing, will checkout with this combination, Will checkout the bugs you have reported. Did you checked removing Windows Apps + System Apps + Advanced Components and the Windows Installs properly? Yes you can only enable the classic Windows PhotoViewer to be listed in the Setting->Default Photo Viewer list but you can set them as default through the registry since the Settings uses a per machine id to set the default settings, And using this reigstry settings on other system wont' work. That's why changed the tweak menu to Enable Windows Photo Viewer instead of Enable and Set Windows Photo Viewer As Default Viewer. But removing apps association defaults to the available viewer.
ok, hmm, I integrated the latest cu and ssu then proceeded to remove all apps and components, after installing and running sfc, it found several errors and repaired them, I forget what apps, I will try again
How to add custom cursor icon and theme using uxtheme patch and how to patch and integrate or modify the uxtheme patch
ok guess thats my problem.......when should I add the cu and ssu then? so it is possible the cu will restore certain packages, etc?
For custom cursor/icon/themes you can copy them to <Packs\CustomFiles\w10\x64> with proper folder structure. - ToolKit's Tools->Options->Load Image Registry Menu. - Import the cursor/icon/themes registry settings to the image registry. - ToolKit's Tools->Options->UnLoad Image Registry Menu. For custom uxtheme path I have already given the info in my previous reply and to modify the uxtheme file search in google you will get the tool.
I have noticed integrating updates and remvoing the components, it's giving errors while removing and so I'm adding fixes for pre-updates images. Better wait for the next version.
No, I did not checked this combination, because some components I always keep. Will check it for you when I will be in work, I have there more powerful machine than at home. Oh, ok, thanks for clarification. Also for your advice, I don't remove metro apps association anymore and the pop up message in notification center is gone. As it turned out, after removing metro apps it's not neccessary, as the association clears itself.
