Yes I have reduce the comparison ratio for ToolKitHelper by 1 and so it's bit faster now. If you have the v9.3, just extract the v9.3.1_update.7z to v9.3 folder and overwrite it.
If I use the ToolKit for an updated integration, then remove conponents & apps, will I still get an error for toolkithelper?
Then should we still clean the image before and after or only after? I don't integrate updates. And can we only do it after when component removal is available for RS6?
I have explained this before - Component removal without updates integration, image cleanup should be done before and after the component removal and here component removal includes Windows Apps, System Apps and Advanced Windows Components. - Component removal with updates integration, image cleanup should be done after the component removal and here component removal includes Windows Apps, System Apps and Advanced Windows Components. - No Component removal or updates integration, image cleanup is not required and here component removal includes Windows Apps, System Apps and Advanced Windows Components..
@MSMG , how do I use Remove Default Metro Apps Using Apps List and Remove Windows Components Using Package List. Please could you explain to me..??
1) Remove Default Metro Apps Using Apps List uses DISM to remove Apps, this may/may not break the SFC and shared components need to be taken care of. - RemoveAppsList_W10_RS6_Template.txt file present in Packs folder contains the App list for W10 v1903 - Using notepad open the RemoveAppsList.txt file present in Packs folder and Add the required App entries found in the above template file and save it. - Use the Remove Default Metro Using Apps List Menu from Remove Menu. 2) Remove Windows Component Using Package List uses both DISM and the ToolKitHelper.exe method but when DISM method is used again it may break the SFC and shared components. - RemovePkgsList_Template.txt present in Packs folder contains the Package list for both the DISM and the ToolKitHelper.exe components. The list is complete for only ToolKitHelper.exe but for DISM only few package names have been given for example. - Using notepad open the RemovePkgsList.txt file present in Packs folder and Add the required package entries found in the above template file and save it. - Use the Remove Windows Component Using Package List Menu from Remove Menu.
19H1 separates Cortana from Search, but using the option to disable the Cortana app also disables searching.
As far as I have checked Cortana and Search are just visually separated in 19H1, removing Cortana will break the Search. In the latest version I have updated the Disable Cortana tweak with more tweaks collected from various sources, I couldn't get time to test the OS installation, will check for any tweak breaking the Cortana and fix it. Below are the tweaks used to disable Cortana : Code: Reg add "HKLM\TK_DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InputPersonalization\TrainedDataStore" /v "HarvestContacts" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1 Reg add

Ok, I was talking about the previous version. I've yet to download that one. When will we be able to remove components (and in all languages) in RS6 (I've read we can't in it, at least in the 9.3 version)?
I know this may be asked before, but believe me i tried to search and i'm still confused. My questions is about integrating visual c++, some programs (7-zip, notepad++, office, etc), loader/kms, registry/script file. I heard about unattended setup, $OEM$ folder, but i'm confuse how to use it with this tool. Regarding the kms/loader, if it's taboo to to talk about it, i welcomed a pm. And to clear some concerns, this is for my personal build. I won't upload it to anywhere else, get profit from it, get famous from it, and make hazard from it for other people. I just want to do it by myself rather than trusting some random homebrew builder from the internet. A good hint is enough, i'll do the search later. But a detailed guide would be the saviour. Thanks.
