The above is where I "Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 7 > 8)", then my step is "Remove Connect, Onedrive, People, Skype, Store, Xbox, Game bar, Xbox ID (4 > 1 > 6 > E/N/P/T/Z/1/2/3)". On this occasion I do not care that the above are removed without my wish to do so. However there will be people who may wish to keep one or more of the above three apps and are unaware that they removed them when using option 8 to remove all Windows apps. It might be expected for option 8 to only remove only all the items shown in the menu. I hope the above is clear, but I am tired right now.
You need to download the respective packs and copy them to Packs folder in their respective folders, use the Toolkit menu to integrate them, if their is a Italian language files for the pack then it will get integrate too.
Actually the WindowsStore, XboxApp, XboxIdentityProvider should come under the Windows Apps menu, since I ran out of menu choices in Windows Apps menu, I moved these Apps to System Apps. But in ToolKitHelper.exe the WindowsStore, XboxApp, XboxIdentityProvider are removed when the entire Windows Apps is said to remove and the change in v9.4.1 to use the category name is removing these components, need to modify the code for SystemApps and WindowsApps to call each component one by one.
@MSMG ,In the new feature of toolkit v9.4.x from the registry file merge custom registry settings, there is still such a problem, that the comment and code content are not the same content.you need check your exist code,may be many similar errors in exist code. Code: :: Checking whether Custom System files Pack file exist for /f %%i in ('dir /b /a:-d "%CustomRegistry%\*.reg" 2^>nul ^| find /v /c ""') do ( if "%%i" equ "0" ( echo.Custom Registry Settings folder is empty... echo. echo.Please copy the registry files to ^<Custom\Registry\%SelectedSourceOS%\%ImageArchitecture%^> folder...
Yes it is LTSC. Here goes the steps. Source: en_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_74865958 Toolkit version: MSMG 9.4.1 Excluded toolkit from antivirus scan. One more thing is it takes long time to delete the components in the RemovePkgsList.txt. Code: a) Tools -> WIM Manager -> Delete [option-8] (deleted "N" edition) b) Apply -> Re-Build Source Image [option-6] c) Select Source Image from DVD folder [option-1] d) Integrate -> Windows Features -> Integrate DirectX 9.0C [option-3] e) Apply -> Cleanup the Source Image [option-6] f) Remove Windows Components Using Package List [option-4] g) Remove Windows Components -> System Apps -> Remove All [option-4] h) Customize [option-5] =================== a. Disable Cortana App b. Hide Taskbar Task view Icon c. Disable Automatic driver updates through windows updates d. Disable Automatic downloading and installing of 3rd party apps e. Disable Windows Defender f. Disable Automatic Windows Upgrade g. Disable Windows Update h. Enable windows photo viewer i) Apply -> Cleanup the Source Image [option-6] j) Integrate the following [option-3] ============================ a. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Feature b.

Without shortcut you can't pin the items to start menu or taskbar, you need a create a shortcut for taskmgr.exe to be present in the System Tools.
Ok will check this config and see what's causing the SFC error and why do you use both the Remove Windows Components and also Remove Windows Components using Package list? both does the same thing. Just add the selected components to RemovePkgsList.txt and use it and yes removing each component takes time but you can increase the speed by just calling the component category name instead of each components in a category. For example if you are removing all Windows Apps, then using Code: ToolKitHelper:WindowsApps is same as Code: ToolKitHelper:3DViewer ToolKitHelper:AdvertisingXaml ToolKitHelper:Alarms ToolKitHelper:BingWeather ToolKitHelper:Calculator ToolKitHelper:Camera ToolKitHelper:CommunicationsApps ToolKitHelper:DesktopAppInstaller ToolKitHelper:FeedbackHub ToolKitHelper:GetHelp ToolKitHelper:Getstarted ToolKitHelper:HEIFImageExtension ToolKitHelper:Maps ToolKitHelper:Messaging ToolKitHelper:MixedRealityPortal ToolKitHelper:OfficeHub ToolKitHelper:OfficeOneNote ToolKitHelper:OneConnect ToolKitHelper:Paint3D ToolKitHelper:People ToolKitHelper:Photos ToolKitHelper:Print3D ToolKitHelper:ScreenSketch ToolKitHelper:SkypeApp ToolKitHelper:SolitaireCollection ToolKitHelper:SoundRecorder ToolKitHelper:StickyNotes ToolKitHelper:VP9VideoExtensions ToolKitHelper:WalletService ToolKitHelper:WebMediaExtensions ToolKitHelper:WebpImageExtensions ToolKitHelper:WindowsStore ToolKitHelper:XboxApp ToolKitHelper:XboxIdentityProvider ToolKitHelper:YourPhone ToolKitHelper:ZuneMusic ToolKitHelper:ZuneVideo The difference is the former takes less time compared to later.

Is this correct sir ?
