    Found a solution,
    Windows\WinSxS\migration.xml was writable by owner - trasted installer. I added write permission for Users group and it solved the problem.

    Some times an endless do loop searching for a driver. Does it install in a VM? If it installs in a minimal VM I would start by plugging/disabling the audio card and work up from there.

    Try skipping windows apps removal and see if it works to make sure it's not the removal.

    Also, enabling/disabling features triggers the WU to install the CU again, so do the feature disable before the integrate WHD updates.

    1) Run the Toolkit using Start.cmd to avoid these errors.

    2) Keep the Toolkit folder pathname short.

    Either you can use the same customized image and integrate the Sidebar with the Toolkit and reinstall the OS

    or

    Apply these Sidebar pack files on installed system using NSudo command prompt.

    Code:
    DISM /online /apply-image /imagefile:Sidebar_w10.tpk /index:2 /applydir:C:\
    DISM /online /apply-image /imagefile:Sidebar_en-US.tpk /index:2 /applydir:C:\
    
    reg import Sidebar_x64.reg
    
    But you need to modify the registry file to reflect the correct registry hives.

    Note: It has been reported that removing Communication Apps (Windows Mail, Calendar) breaks the Sidebar Contact gadget.

    Removals should be tested to buggery with all ones software. Trouble is you get new software tomorrow n you may have to start all over again or do you want to have a life and get :poop: done? I just want to get :poop: done so i disable and tweak.

    The only thing i use the toolkit for is registry mounting. I use a lite msmg, removed all packages n cabs etc, added ltsc source and burnt it to an iso.

    @MSMG Any chance of a Toolkit Lite with just the minimum files needed for integrating updates and removals only?

    Yeb, i think majority of us simply integrate updates+drivers and remove bloat.. seldom add stuff. i dont even bother with .net 3.5 anymore these days.

    is it possible to install the N package on top of regular non-N Windows? I started using Firefox and for some reason, unlike Chrome, it doesn't play some web-based media files and shows notification to get the Windows N package... It's not the same as Multimedia-RestrictedCodecsExt-Package, is it?

    The MFP doesn't even restore N to non N 100% and no it can't be installed on non N editions.

    Can you share an example link to the online media FF won't play?
