    In a clean installation and making sure your files are clean all that is needed is an updated browser, adobe flash inactive, ublock origin well configured and common sense. The current browsers run on sandbox so the danger lies in the files being downloaded. Always download from trusted sites.

    Hello,

    I want to use MSMG toolkit with the latest possible versions of Windows 10 and MSMG.
    I already have done it in the past, but made some poor decisions on what to keep.
    I've encountered a problem when removing apps : I can't get access to "Remove > Remove Metro Apps", it seems I have to delete from lists.
    Plus, after trying to remove everything I can find in those list, there is still those filthy windows update and stuff... o_O
    After installing a normal windows version, I tried using MSMG toolkit on it, but it didn't change anything.

    Can anyone help me on this matter ? Tell me what I did wrong, redirect me to information on this matter, scold me... Any help is welcomed :hug2:

    Thanks in advance :angel_not:

    Sorry for asking the most typical questions, but...:
    - When is the new version with more AppX removal for 1903 coming out?
    - How is the progress of the non-CMD UI?

    Also I hate " Windows Defender whatever " residing at Start Menu. And more important Telemetry component, still waiting to switch for those two.

    Think the captured wim image is not being moved to DVD\sources folder, do check if the install.wim is present in the Temp folder.

    Will checkout the script for any error related to the capture image.

    The Packs folder is being restructured with new layout and so have moved the many of the pack files to a new location, once the process is completed, it will be restored back.

    Currently the Toolkit contains only en-US PortableWorkspaces (WinToGo) for v1903, the mui cab files will be added once the cab files are captured from the mui image.

    If anyone having knowledge of integrating a language pack to install.wim and is willing to help me in preparing the v1903 Pro mui image then do send me a PM.

    The Toolkit only support offline image servicing and the supported OS for component removal are

    v1809 (10.0.17763.1) - Can Remove Windows App, System Apps, Advanced Windows Components.
    v1903 (10.0.18362.1, 10.0.18362.30) - Can Remove Windows Apps.

    In the current Toolkit version, the Remove Metro Apps and Windows Components are Merged into one.

    Due to recent change in the v1903 Cumulative Update, the removed components are getting restored and so the support for System Apps and Advanced Windows Components are getting delayed.

    1) As stated earlier due to the recent change in the Cumulative update for v1903, the removed components are getting restored upon using the Windows Update and so the support for removing more components are getting delayed.

    Today did a trial test of the new method for v1903 but again the removed components got restored upon using the Windows Update, need to further tweak the removal method to fix the issue.

    But for v1809 the component removal is solid now with more in-depth removal and also support for more new components have been added.

    2) Due to a lot of personal crisis and health issues I'm going through, I had suspended the work on GUI version and also more time was getting devoted in fixing the CMD version and the component removal.

    I'm planning to slow down the CMD version or may be replacing it totally with the GUI, will be soon resuming the development back.

    NTLite has the Remove Reinstalls feature that can be used on a live install to remove the restored components after installing a CU. Maybe you could use something like that.

    Yes, NTlite into latest version can remove the re-installed components on the live windows installation.
    However, you must do that every month after any CU update, it is not permanent.

    Yes, I know, and I think there are some restored components which aren't removed.

    I could live with that as someone turning Windows Update off ( since there is already a new release in theoretically 6 months )

    I do fix issue by disabling all, I can install manual if needed ( an unexpected threat or so ) , just that wish there was a new version of MSMGtoolkit for 1903 allowing removal of components.
