    Can you post the screenshot of the Start menu with items highlight to be removed.

    If the Pictures folder shortcut you are referring to is the one which is just above Start menu power button, then those links are not removed using the layout.

    You need to use registry method to remove it

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoUserFolderInStartMenu"=dword:00000001

    Copy the below contents to a reg file named "NoUserFolderInStartMenu.reg" and copy to <Toolkit\Custom\Registry\w10\x64> folder and then use the ToolKit's [5] Customize -> [5] Import Custom Registry Settings from Reg File menu.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoUserFolderInStartMenu"=dword:00000001

    There's already a pack in ToolKit for old calculator, you can use it to integrate it to image.

    But if you want to manually do it then as you do it as said in the above post, copy the registry entries to a file in <Toolkit\Custom\Registry\w10\x64> and then use the ToolKit's [5] Customize -> [5] Import Custom Registry Settings from Reg File menu.

    Remove all apps (4 > 1 > 7 > 8) seems to be slow again. v9.4.1 also removed the below apps, however v9.4.2 does not any more.

    @MSMG After deleting components via ToolKit, can you create a program to confirm that the selected components?

    It would be a program you run after installing the OS modified by MSMG to confirm that the components are 100% removed.

    Yes I did reversed the changes to SystemApps and WindowsApps so it won't remove the components you specified when all apps are removed and hence it's slow.

    You can use the Remove Components using Package List to remove all your selected components at once.

    The below entries will remove the entire category and it will speeder than removing them one by one.

    Internet
    Multimedia
    Privacy
    Remoting
    System
    SystemApps
    WindowsApps

    You can always check whether the component is removed or not by re-selecting the components for removal in the Toolkit.

    But if you are referring to the components returning in v1903 then it's by design of WU it restores the removed stuffs and a suitable fix is still in works.

    Live component removal is not yet supported.

    For boot and clean install is not necessary but some reports say that for upgrades or installation with Windows running and clicking setup.exe this is necessary and also Winre.wim but I don't know if this is true I think I will have to test myself.

    If I use RemovePkgsList.txt to remove components, will it be possible to remove components after integrating the cumulative update in v1903? Or will it fail?
