    Removing components in the new version (9.4) takes much longer than before. o_O

    takes 40 seconds for each component. I'm sure msmg will work on that

    @MSMG

    In the past you told me to run a command the moment I install Windows it was a DISM command something to do with cleanup. Is that still needed?

    Well gotta try this again... I installed drivers that didn't install, removed components that didn't get removed once I was in windows... oops on my part somehow. It was almost like a fresh install from the Windows Media Creation tool lol. :p

    On, at least, 1903/1909 i would not run any cleanup command, else the next CU won't install.

    WSUS typically needs Windows Server OS to run. For a person wanting to manage one or two computers it's overkill. There are other ways to manage updates, some of which are available here or on askwoody.com

    I have 10 PCs to manage, so it was a worthwhile endeavor.

    It's oretty easy to set up. Once you have your Windows server 2012 R2 or 2016 installed, you add the WSUS role and its required features, configure what products you want to service, then configure your PCs via group Policy to point to that server and the rest pretty much takes care of itself. You also have to configure the PCs GPO to never download anything from the Windows Update locations.

    Updates will arrive and sit in a "Not Approved" state. If you never approve them, then PCs will never install them.

    Okay guys and gals, this is the first time that I am having a problem with the toolkit. I have followed the steps below, yet when I log into Windows, it's as if nothing I did during the steps actually applied to the install.wim. All the UWP apps are there, none of the features I removed are gone, and the added drivers and windows registry tweaks aren't there either. Here are the steps I took:

    1. Extracted source image from ISO into DVD folder.
    2. Selected 6 for Windows 10 pro
    3. Integrated drivers from the \Toolkit\Toolkit_v9.4\Drivers\Install\w10\x64 and \Toolkit\Toolkit_v9.4\Drivers\WinPE\w10\x64 folders
    4. Integrated DirectX9c from the \Toolkit_v9.4\Packs\DirectX9c folder
    5. Cleaned up source image
    6. Removed various Windows Components that I didn't want.
    7. Removed all Windows Apps (screw you UWP)
    8. Integrate registry settings via the Customize feature from the Toolkit_v9.4\Packs\CustomRegistry\w10\x64 folder and made other custom tweaks to the *.wim using the Tweaks section. Ex: Disable Cortana, disable Windows Defender, etc
    9. Cleaned up source image
    10. Integrated NetFX 3.5
    11. Apply -> Save changes
    12. Re-build
    13. Created ISO
    14. Used Rufus to create bootable flash drive.

    What am I doing wrong here? I used DISM++ to load my install.wim and verified that none of my drivers were installed, nor any of the features removed, and that yes, I was using Windows Pro x64 and not Home or any other edition.

    Any help would be appreciated!
