THANK YOU for these useful information this is really important to know, and maybe should be included in readme text file of the toolkit
I've never had any problems in the past from not doing this, so when it suddenly started doing it with the two latest 18362.x builds I thought it might perhaps be an issue with the Toolkit. At least I now know to integrate setup updates to avoid potential problems in the future.
Hi MSMG, well another day working with Toolkit V 8.8 using W10 PFW x64 as host I know that this O.S. NO have none UWP applications and modifing or triyng Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise x64; when I try use 6(1)Cleanup sources images inside in install.wim item appear one message that cannot can cleanup because have pending.xml on it?? hmm I kow that this O.S. NO have none applications UWP because when I try remove ALL APP´s the Toolkit show that NO exists none UWP...then if you can help me I stay very happy with you, still I'm here again after almost 1 year I have a lot of issues here in Brazil including my wife unortunately but I hope best times someday
I used menu D in Tweaks section but it still left Office apps. Looks like a bug which can be fixed in next build. I have turned the tiles off after the install. I must thank you for this great piece of software and i can't wait for the GUI version to come out. Thanks for the suggestion. Will do that.
Ok, since Office Apps aren't 3rd part Apps it's not removing, you can use the Import Custom StartMenu Layout menu to import a clean StartMenu Layout.
I am also interested in removing Office applications. I apologize but I didn't understand how to import a clean StartMenu layout. Thank you
Those Office Links in the StartMenu are just links to download and install from internet, either you can remove them by right click and unpin them. Or use the Toolkit's Customize Menu -> [4] Import Custom StartMenu Layout from XML File, this will replace the current StartMenu Layout with clean layout.
I exported the custom layout via powershell, now the xml file in which Toolkit folder should I insert it? Thank you
In the packs folder I have already found a "w10_CustomStartMenuLayout.xml" file Do I replace it with the custom file? Thank you
MSMG, Do you know what is the String..?? I mounted boot.wim, index 2, and did not find where to change..!!
Afaik, option 2 is what you need: Code: =============================================================================== MSMG ToolKit - Convert Source Image Menu =============================================================================== [1] Convert Store ESD Image to WIM Image [2] Convert ESD Image to WIM Image [3] Convert MCT Image to WIM Image [4] Convert WIM Image to ESD Image [X] Go Back =============================================================================== Enter Your Choice : MSMG used a bit confusing terms. Option 2 is "convert install.esd to install.wim".
