MSMG ToolKit

Thanks

 

I have remove Insider Hub, but...

Spoiler

Did not integrate cumulative update and uninstall all applications and components. After installing the system, I completely denied access to the WinSxS folder and when we try to install the update we get an error:

You could make list generators so people can see what they have:



Under [8] Tools

Add [4] Generate Lists
with individual options for each and the last option being All of them.

[1] Features
[2] Packages
[3] Provisioned Apps
[4] Drivers
[5] Capabilities
[6] All

Code:

Echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Echo "Listing Packages/Apps"
Echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-Packages /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-Packages.txt"
"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-Features /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-Features.txt"
"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-ProvisionedAppx.txt"

"%DISMX64% /Image:%MOUNT% /Get-Capabilities  /Format:Table>"%BUILD%\10 Build\10 Features\Pre-Capabilities.txt"

 

Currently testing other things and removal of WindowsApps does not appear to work.

I had hoped to remove Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 7 > 8) from my existing method by adding WindowsApps to RemovePkgsList.txt.

 

Those are two different things. For metro apps, you should use RemoveAppsList.txt, not package list.

Cheers.

 

Having peeked around a bit in the appmanifest.

So, it seems some apps can be used even on 1607 (LTSB). Others can be used from 1803 onwards.
And the Adguard site is right about offering a s**tload of dependencies.
Strangly, I did include the dependencies for Windows Alarms and Clock, but it wouldn't work until I updated from Store.

Cheers.

 

This issue -- critical? does it affect rs5 + offline image with cumulative updates? (Sorry, I don't understand it)

19H1, build 18362.30 x64 Pro en-us.
did not use NTLite.
integrated only three updates - SSU, Dotnet rollup, Flash. And Net3.5.
I did it strictly according to your instructions.

 

I had WindowsApps in RemoveAppsList.txt. After messing about and testing, I slowly learned that ToolKitHelper:WindowsApps should be in RemovePkgsList.txt.

I must confess that I find editing these files very confusing.

This is my old and current method:

Spoiler: Current Method

Extract ISO (1 > 3)

Select source (1 > 1) (also mount boot and recovery images)

Integrate Win32 calculator (3 > 3 > B)

Cleanup (6 > 1)

Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 7 > 8)

Remove Connect, Onedrive, People, Skype, Store, Xbox, Game bar, Xbox ID (4 > 1 > 6 > E/N/P/T/Z/1/2/3)

Apply SSU and CU updates (3 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 4)

Apply setup media update (3 > 4 > 2 > 2)

Tweaks for Task View, App Downloads, Photo Viewer (5 > 6 > B/D/J)

Cleanup (6 > 1)

Apply changes to image (6 > 2)

Rebuild (6 > 1)

Convert WIM to ESD (2 > 4)

Make ISO (7 > 1)

I suspect that perhaps I should move Remove all metro apps AFTER Remove Connect...etc?

Also I have revised my removal and this what I intend to remove in my future method:

Spoiler: Future Method

Extract ISO (1 > 3)

Select source (1 > 1) (also mount boot and recovery images)

Integrate Win32 calculator (3 > 3 > B)

Cleanup (6 > 1)

Remove Game Explorer (4 > 1 > 2 > 2)

Remove Connect, Map Control, Onedrive, People, Retail, Skype, Test, Mixed Reality, Store, Xbox, Game bar, Xbox ID (4 > 1 > 6 > E, L, N, P, R, T, V, Y, Z, 1, 2, 3)

Remove all metro apps (4 > 1 > 7 > 8)

Apply SSU and CU updates (3 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 4)

Apply setup media update (3 > 4 > 2 > 2)

Tweaks for Task View, App Downloads, Photo Viewer (5 > 6 > B/D/J)

Cleanup (6 > 1)

Apply changes to image (6 > 2)

Rebuild (6 > 1)

Convert WIM to ESD (2 > 4)

Make ISO (7 > 1)

First and most importantly, are there any potential issues in this method?

Secondly, is there some way I condense the removal into lists to reduce my time spent waiting and inputting?
