    I kind of forgot to integrate the microsoft store to the image. Can I extract the modified image from MSMG toolkit and then add the windows store?

    Just make a new image, this time with the store integrated.
    Or you can use abbodi's store installer to install the store after you have installed the OS. It's easy and quick.
    If you want to integrate the store into the image you made with the toolkit, you would have to mount it again and choose the corresponding option in the toolkit.
    In any way, it would be wise to get the latest store package and it's dependencies from the adguard site. See the readme file in the toolkit folder.

    Cheers.

    I am searching for a tool like this that lets me debloat Windows 10 ISO from Windows 7 Host system. I see in first post this only allows 8.1 ISO management from win7 host.

    Do not have 8.1 and do not want to install that just for ISO management of windows 10.

    Is there such a tool please for Win10 mgmt from Win7. NtLite requires payment to unlock all features and I do not use this more than once in a year.

    WinToolkit seems very limited in components it allows to remove.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Would somebody be able to give a full list of all Windows 10 services I can safely disable? Trying to create a benchmark OS that I can clone and install on other systems.

    It was due to new W10 WADK tools not properly working on Windows 7 HOST, I had to restrict the ToolKit to use W81/W10 to service a Windows 10 Image.

    Some features like integrate packages, enable/disable features, remove default metro apps using DISM were not working properly on W7 HOST.

    In the present ToolKit since the component removal is done manually and since your query was only related to component removal, then you can use the ToolKitHelper.exe from bin folder to remove the components.

    You need to run the ToolKitHelper.exe from a NSudo command prompt.

    In the next release I will make changes to ToolKit to only restrict the features that may not work on W7 HOST OS.

    The current version of ToolKit doesn't support v1903 images, if you are trying to integrate the specified packages outside the Toolkit then rename the fod files in the required format to integrate properly.

    Do wait for the next release for v1903 support.

    hi i just found one thing
    i allways delete all telemerty, but just one file in Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel
    kill settings (this controlpanel) and it loading forever
    this file "Telemetry.Common.dll" in last builds, and "Telemetry.Desktop.dll" in old.
    maybe you can solve this problem in future, or modificate file in normal way (i try bad one and it not accept) cut telemerty inside it and replace, give it not to be rejected by panel.
    regards

    ps, also defender was killed, but looks like it comes to firewall, idk must we kill it too?

    I asked a question some time ago, and didn't see any replies. So forgive me if I'm going blind and missed something (Blame old age)

    Using v9.1 on 1809 x64 EN-us with the .253 update integrated. I've had no issues with installing, or SFC or Windows updates. So is the toolkit at a state where it's considered final for v1809? No outstanding issues?

    Though I did come across one strange thing where the Maps and Windows Defender adml files were missing (The admx files were present), but I had removed both of those components. So when I run GPEdit it would throw errors about those files being missing. Anyone come across that issue?

    The work around was simple; take ownership of the files, grant myself permissions then rename the files... I was wondering if there is a better fix??

    Except component removal and apps integration everything else is ready for v1903, even the packs have been uploaded already.

    Just started adding component removal for v1903, right now Inbox Windows Apps are complete.

    Immersive Control Panel is required for Settings, will see what can be done.

    Windows Defender Firewall is the actual Firewall in Windows 10.

    I had checked about the GPEdit and it didn't give any errors as reported by you, do check out with v9.2 or else do wait today or tomorrow I will release a test version of ToolKitHelper.exe and see if it works.

    Just wondering if it's 18362.1 that you are using or one of the refreshed ones?

    Yes it will be always the first released one for all versions, pre-updates/refreshed images won't be supported.
