    We really need a FAQ in the first post. It's getting boring to answer the same questions over and over again.

    Cheers.

    Updated the ToolKit v6.7

    Due to recent change in Windows 10 Redstone 2 Creators Update Service Pack Build version from 1000 to 0, the ToolKit code has been changed a lot to recognize this build properly as the current Windows 10 Redstone 1 Anniversary Update Service Pack Build Version too is 0.

    I have tested the ToolKit with the current RS2 Release Build and it's working properly and due to lack of time I haven't tested for other OS's.

    So if there are any bugs then kindly report it here.



    v6.7
    + Updated ToolKit's Bin Folder with Windows 10 Redstone 2 WADK (v10.0.15021.1000) Tools.
    + Updated the Feature "Integrate Data Deduplication" to Integrate Data Deduplication Update Package for Windows 10 Source OS.
    + Updated the Data Deduplication Pack for MSMG ToolKit with Data Deduplication Update Package (Thanks to MDL Member : abbodi1406).
    + Updated the Feature "Remove Windows Components" to Support Windows 10 Redstone 2 (Creators Update) Release Build 15031 Source OS.
    + Fixed Many Typo Errors in the ToolKit (Thanks to MDL Member Kenafri).
    + Optimized ToolKit Code (Thanks to MDL Member Kenafri).

    Well as of now there is no known workaround for the Refreshed ISO Apps removal.

    I have a question.
    I want to install Win 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 N and modify it using v6.7 MSMG tool.
    So, what updates can I integrate into this edition of Windows 10? Please let me know. And should I integrate them first before debloating/removing bunch of junk stuff?

    Thanks so much!

    You should use updates for version 1607. First install updates then remove things, but version LTSB N is almost bloat-free.

    Thank you for replying; my concern is the following,

    Which specific Win 10 update can be applied to Enterprise LTSB N 2016?

    Here are the following list of available updates:

    Servicing stack update for Win 10 (11.38 MB)
    Cumulative update for Win 10 (1.02 GB)
    Adobe Flash player update (20.41 MB)

    The reason I ask is that, Enterprise LTSB N are only suppose to receive security updates, so stable updates. But these updates are for Windows 10 Home or Pro versions though. So wouldn't this add more bloat and cause problems?
    That is why I asked...

    Hi all!

    ISO Win_Pro_10_1607.1_64BIT_Russian_MLF_X21-27139(10.0.14393.447 Updated Jan 2017) + ToolKit v6.7
    Remove the:
    Remove Default Metro Apps Menu - [2] All Apps
    Remove Windows Components Menu - [1] All Windows Components
    Remove Advanced Windows Components Menu - [1] Adobe Flash For Windows, [2] Microsoft Edge Browser App, [3] Microsoft Hyper-V.

    Problem:
    Before the end of the installation of the system does not prompt to create an account! after select the default settings OS goes into a reboot.
    We do the same thing, but leave: Microsoft Biometrics, Windows Content Delivery Manager and Windows Embedded Features.
    Now, are prompted to create an account. Now there is a work desk! but the taskbar is not available and start menu does not work.

    Which module does not need to touch it to solve this problem? Microsoft probably something changed... before such problems were not. I need to try more old images :confused: I just wanted to work with new images...

    ps. sorry for my English.

    When the refresh iso's where released we already found out that MSMG's toolkit can't remove the default metro apps because the code is not changed to do that, the advise is to use the 14393.0 July 2016 updated iso's.

    Code:
    :WimCompCleanup
    
    %DISM% /Image:%~1 /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    nor

    Code:
    :WimCompCleanupResetBase
    
    %DISM% /Image:%~1 /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    is NOT supported by Windows7.

    /Cleanup-Image /scanhealth is the maximum (applies only to /Online).

    So please wrap a condition around it. Thanks ;D

    In case the mount/unmount of wim files fails, windows will still block the mount folder from deletion.

    Check for mounted WIMs still residing in the system:
    Code:
    dism /Get-MountedWimInfo
    If a mount is found, use the shown mount folder to discard:
    Code:
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:"x:\found\mount\dir" /discard

    Only had that once in a virtual machine while mounting a WIM file to a desktop folder ... things went terribly wrong. Fortunately it only needed to restore a snapshot.

    Conlusion: NEVER use the systemdrive for mounting and especially avoid the dektop as work space.

    It happens when the ToolKit is terminated while a DISM operation is going on and using the DISM Mount /Cleanup will remove the folder contents but sometimes the DISM related services will still be accessing the mount folder and so the it will fail.

    The only way to delete this folder is to use Unlocker or NSudo.
