Is there a list or something that contains everything I can remove from Windows10 Pro without breaking games (both new and old, relaying on Legacy Components > DirectPlay) and Office 2019? Many thanks in advance!
That's not ideal for me. I start with the 17763.1 image, but I want to add the cu and some other stuff offline as well. Last time I tried (think it was 9.2) all I did was remove flash player. LTSC installed no problem, but the toolkit broke "dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup". On that one I applied the cu before removing components. Maybe I should try removing components first?
As far as I know MSMG recommends integrating the updates after component removal.I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Which version of LTSC did you use when IE stopped working? And what were the problems? Currently using the Toolkit and I would like to know.
Also does anyone know if i can remove either the apps or compmonents in any order. Example: For Components, do we have to remove it in [A], , [C] order? or can we remove it any order we like? [A], [V], ... I just know we have to remove apps before components.
The next version will only work with 17763.1 base images and yes you can now integrate the updates offline after the component removal or intall them through WU. If removing components you need to the cleanup image once before and after the removal or else it will give error.
I can upload the new version to support v1903 even today itself but the component removal is not yet added only integration is supported.
He said he removed all components expect IE since he want to use some desinging softwares which requires IE. Removing Internet Explorer won't break anything related to OS but the Application which depends on IE won't work. I have added compatibility for older Intel Grpahic Drivers which depend of IE.
The component removal should work in any order, but the order given is just for reference used by the tests done.
The Windows v1903 component removal is yet to be started, when I do add it, it will support all languages.
UPDATE 2 This time I used v17763.1 instead of v17763.107 and both DISM and SFC scans were clean. Everything seems to be working fine. I'm running Windows 10 LTSC en-us x64. RESULTS DISM: No component store corruption detected. SFC: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
