When removing Windows Defender via the toolkit, does it just remove the antivirus only or does it remove the firewall also? I was hoping i could remove only the antivirus portion while keeping the firewall.
First download the MSMG version which is compatible with the latest version of toolkithelper. Extract MSMG archive to a folder named MSMG. Extract the contents of toolkithelper archive to the \bin folder of the extracted MSMG folder. Thats it. @MSMG - Sir, Please let me know if the latest toolkithelper is compatible with msmg versions 8.xx and 9.xx. Thank you.
I did this but loading up my 19H1 image I get this error when selecting the source: ToolKit doesn't support Windows 10 Insider Preview Source OS's... It's a 18362 image, so it should be working.
v8.7 uses the DISM to remove the components and so can break the OS functionalities, The Toolkit needs to be updated to support W7-W10 RS4.
No cause the toolkit itself isn't updated. You can edit the toolkit.cmd file and search for "insider". There you will see the line in which the version of the image is asked and if its higher than 17763 it puts out the error message (Line 2546). Change that value to 18362 and you can mount the image. But after that you can't remove any components because the component remove menu won't show any entries above image version 17763 (you actually will be send automatically into the [5] menu even when pressing [4]). For that problem you can try to edit every part of the .cmd file in which the toolkit looks for an 17763 image and copy paste the existing codeblock and change it to 18362. For example look at line 2125 - 2134. In that block the toolkit looks for an non Enterprise image, which you should have. Copy that block and paste it underneath and change the value to 18362. You have to do that on some other places too, to get get the menu working. It also could work if you just search for 17763 and overwrite every entry with 18362, but im not sure about that. I did a quick test yesterday by editing copying and changing every necessary part to 18362. It was possible to remove all metro apps and all system app. In Advanced Components I removed some which I know I don't needed and then tested the iso. I got an sfc /scannow error and the latest update wasn't installable so I thought better wait for the updated toolkit. Don't want to hinder msmg's work by fiddling around with the code by myself...
It has been posted before, you can search back in the thread, if you want to use the new version of ToolKitHelper.exe for W10 v1809 then copy it to the bin folder and overwrite it and use the ToolKit to test the image. For v1903, The ToolKit needs to be updated and so you may be need to use the ToolKitHelper.exe directly. The new version requires .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed. Let me put a small tutorial for it. 1) Open notepad and copy the below contents to it and save it as tkremove.cmd and not as tkremove.cmd.txt Code: @echo off dism.exe /mount-image /imagefile:dvd\sources\install.wim /index:6 /mountdir:mount\install .\Bin\ToolKitHelper.exe mount\install 3DViewer .\Bin\ToolKitHelper.exe mount\install AdvertisingXaml dism.exe /unmount-image /mountdir:mount\install /commit Change the index no in the script to choose the edition, Change the AppName to the required one or add the new one. 2) Copy the tkremove.cmd to ToolKit's root folder. 3) From ToolKit's <Bin\x64> folder Run the NSudo command prompt and choose the below settings User as TurstedInstllaer Enable All Privileges Choose Browse and select tkremove.cmd file Now Click on Run button. 4) This will execute the tkremove.cmd, which will mount the install.wim and remove the two Apps specified above and then save/unmount the image.
Just got this error when cleaning source images on LTSC x64bit v17763.1 using Toolkit v9.2. First time it happened, help! @MSMG
The user is free to modify the script and yes you can remove the line related to Cortana and use the script.
The newer version of ToolKitHelper.exe requires .NET Framework 4.8 for execution and for the tutorial see the post. It should be C:\msmg\Bin\toolkithelper.exe C:\msmg\mount\install /? and this should be done after mounting the image.
Yes but some of the component names have been changed which may not be available in the older version.
For 19H1 the Toolkit needs to be updated and so for trying out you may need to use the ToolKitHelper directly.
No I didn't, that must of been the issue. So I'm trying to remove the N version of LTSC from the ISO, remove some components, then customize the ISO using WIM tweaks. So would the process be: 1. Remove N version 2. Cleanup Image 3. Mount ISO from DVD 4 Remove Components/Apps 5. Cleanup Image 6. Customize 7. Apply changes 8. Build ISO 9. Target and save ISO?
1. Remove N version 2. Mount ISO from DVD 3. Cleanup Image 4. Remove Components/Apps 5. Cleanup Image 6. Customize 7. Apply changes 8. Rebuild 9. Build ISO 10. Target and save ISO This will save you mounting the image twice.
Thx Msmg but after hours of trying I finally figured it out before this post I mounted the 18362 image to the toolkits mount/install directory and used some commmands from this forum from years ago and removed all the apps in one go. I didn't do image component cleanup after removal(so I don't know how it would affect the install) but the install went fine and I don't really see any probs and no sfc errors I did notice one app that was still a tile in start menu but when I clicked it it did nothing I'm assuming it got removed
