Every CU will try to add some reg keys or data even if the component is removed and but it will be non-functional since the component will be missing. It's due to the recent change in MS Update model that made it difficult to keep the component removal and the WU smooth, Lets see things may get sorted out in coming days.
Yes using WU will restore the components for v1903, I'm trying to fix this and it will take some more time.
It's for completeness I have listed the Dependency list, If you want to use the option to screen URL's sent to Windows Store then the SmartScreen is required and the below key is the one which control's it. Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_NTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppHost] "EnableWebContentEvaluation"=dword:00000001 When the Smartscreen is removed using the ToolKit, the above key is disabled Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_NTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppHost] "EnableWebContentEvaluation"=dword:00000000 Likewise Windows Store is linked to many components like IE, Smartscreen, StickyNotes, Hyper-V etc, it all depends what part will be disabled when removed.
I have removed smartscreen and defender in all builds up to and including 18975. Store works perfectly.
Like I said the ability to scan the Store URL will be disabled in the Store but the Store itself will be working, you can think SmartScreen as a Compatibility rather than more as a dependency.
also, can bing, ie, skype, smartscreen amongst other components be disabled instead of removed during integration phase permanently? there a definite list of what can be removed during integration while not being affected by cumulative integration / live system updates? im tired of issues, just want things to work now. i hope microsoft crashes and burn for all they have caused
echo. [K] Windows Insider Hub The Windows Insider Hub is name of Feedback Hub now.Insider Hub is an old app for Windows 10. You may think this.I will be localize for Feedback Hub,Chinese name (zh-cn) is 反馈中心.
Yes, you can use some of the popular tweaking tool like O&O ShutUp10 to disable any re-enabled settings. As far as Apps they don't get restored, it's only the system apps or other components which are affected in v1903. For now v1809 is the best bet to use since it's working solid with removed components and WU. Just need more time to test v1903 to fix the issues.
This is not Feedback Hub App, it's the Windows Insider Build Flighting feature you do use it in Settings->Updates->Windows Insider.
Many thanks to MSMG for this toolkit, Great work I have one question, Arabic (ar -SA) language in 10.0.18362.1 (x64) is missing some files. Can you upload them please Thanks Advise Sorry for my bad English, I'm English newbie
Yes due to lack to good upload speed and storage space in MEGA site, I have only uploaded the WinPE language packs for W7, W81, W10 v1507/v1511/v1607 and W10 v1903. Only on request basis I do upload them, will upload the missing files for Arabic (ar -SA).
There is one amd64 package missing in RDP81 pack for Windows 7. Also had to rename files in IE11 pack (replace "_" with "~").
@MSMG Please release Toolkit with working RemovePkgsList, so modifying OS is easier and time saving, Thanks
Bug report for custom registry import for Toolkit version 9.4 : 1. There is no pre-made directory for OS and architecture causing CustomReg script to fail, similar to WHD folder structure (i had to look inside Toolkit.cmd to find what it needs as input) 2. There is no warning / info feedback for user to know where to place .reg files (should be made similarly as when user forgets to put .cab files in proper WHD folder and receives needed info) 3. After import, a list of processed .reg files is cut on first space in file name (example : "Take Ownership" is printed as "Take")
