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".

I kindly ask if it is possible. Also customize the taskbar by inserting the "taskbar" folder with customized links into the Pack folder. Thank you
Thanks, yep that did the trick! It's been a while since I've messed with MSMG ToolKit, back with version 8.8. I'm working to get a clean build that looks like LTSC hopefully without broke start menu search this go around.
Integrating .NET Framework prior to the cleanup will give the pending.xml error, do integrate it after the cleanup.
