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.
I could live with that as someone turning Windows Update off ( since there is already a new release in theoretically 6 months )
This will block feature updates: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ltsc2019-techbench.77028/page-78#post-1518817 Normal updates (quality and security) will work fine.
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.
Good morning Currently, to insert personal programs, I also use the RunOnce EX method. I wanted to ask if I could use some specific folders in ToolKit to insert for example the additional fonts, Windows7 Games legacy, DesktopGadgetsRevived-2.0, DX9, Silverlight and various Visual_C ++. Thank you
Hi! As ToolKit has some custom Packs for Windows 7 Games, Sidebar, DX9, no need (except if you prefer your own ) to integer that ones. For all others addings (additional fonts, Games, Sidebar Gadgets, icons, wallapapers, UAP...), uses <Packs\CustomFiles> folder (additional items will be add by a simple copy/paste action) Hope this helpfull
With all due respect, Surely the CMD version has to be the priority? The GUI is not much more than a pretty front end over the same code/functionality, isn't it? The CMD version works. What compelling advantages does a GUI version bring over the CMD version, other than it looks nicer? Sorry to hear about your health and personal issues.
None. It is usually wrapped up in an exe. This has advantage only for the developer. People like me can't see the code which makes it tick. This ticks me off to no end. I would love to see the inner workings of the toolkithelper.exe especially for Defender removal. I had to write my own code for that which actually works better IMHO allowing me to remove Defender from ANY build. Oh well...
