    CBSPreview | Camera Barcode Scanner, No Firewall is not added for removal.

    You can get the names of the packages from the ToolKit script or using the ToolKitHelper.exe <mount> /?

    All components can be removed and have no sfc /scannow errors, again it's left to the user to remove what they want.

    Sorry I read again and understood your point better. You mean having a tool that works in future versions of Windows without needing updates. In this sense really without using DISM becomes unfeasible. But even before toolkit helper this was already happening. Version 1607 was the last fully compatible with the method of removing with DISM after this it was necessary to use DISM along with manual removals and later to abandon DISM completely and use only the manual method.

    MSMG: Based on recent discussions here, one thing I don't undersatnd is why you work on older versions like 1809 still, i mean sure there are some 5-10% that might use that version still, but most people would use the current/latest version. Why not focus on newer always?

    Not being rude or anything k, just wondering why you seem to work on version-1.

    Being "up to date" as in to the minute, is no longer a sensible move. Since the advent of Windows 8 and Microsoft reinventing themselves and farming testing out to Joe average (actually I should say dumping all forms of worthwhile testing completely), installing the latest feature update with its CUs is just asking for trouble. 1903 is still not "ready for business" 5 months after it's release. Bugs are still being reported every few days.

    You also have to ask yourself - is there anything new and compelling in 1903 that makes upgrading (bugs aside), worthwhile. Not as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't have upgraded to 1809 but that 1709 is shortly our of support. There is not one new 1809 feature that I've not removed or disabled. As long as I can run the Windows programs of my choice (and yes, some dos commands), then I'm happy.

    1809 on the other hand is up to date. There are fewer bugs, and what's removed stays removed. Sure there are some bugs that affect multiple W10 versions, but 1903 is yet another unmitigated disaster at this stage.

    If neither NTLite or @MSMG can figure out how to keep removed junk from being re-installed, then you're going to be right as upgrading would be a waste of time. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what miracles @MSMG can come up with; despite Microsoft's efforts to keep our systems bogged down with resource hogging, flaky, telemetry riddled garbage

    You cant beat a mature product. Intel 14nm v AMD 7nm, latest isnt always better if it is having problems.

    This statement makes no sense in my opinion. I am always up to date. I make sure of it. I am not only speaking of Windows, and I am running as my main drive 18975, but all software.

    I can't integrate DaRT in Windows 10 version 1903 updated August 2019 => can't find the related file in Packs\DaRT\W10 folder. However the file is in ???. And Remove components is not supported with this version of Windows

    skimmed last few days of responses. haven't seen any that address the MS Edge thing. It stays even though I told it to remove. even customized iso from scratch twice to make sure I seleted it during removal process.

    My guess, Edge can no longer be removed?

    What issues does 1903 have? I have never had an issue and I remove more than most people.

    Just didn't wanted to let down any one using the older versions and more over the 90% of removal code is same for the current version and the previous one, also the previous version contains an LTSC edition which is widely used by many compared to the recent one.

    Yes sometimes I do think of supporting only the current released version instead of all the previous versions so that the list contains only three

    Windows 7 SP1
    Windows 8.1
    Windows 10 (Latest Released Build)

    Thanks for the suggestion, will think about it and will take decision.

    Pack files structure has been changed, you need to download them from the download link to <Packs\Dart\w10> folder

    Code:
    Dart_en-US.tpk
    Dart.tpk
    DebugTools_10.0.18362.tpk
    
    Remove components only supports v1903 (10.0.18362.1 and 10.0.18362.30) builds.
