Applications from the RemoveAppsList list are removed much faster than from the RemovePkgsList list. Different removal methods?
All components are safe to remove, it only depends upon the user requirement. The ToolKitHelper only support v1809/v1909, the component removal data is not processed at run-time but instead they are pre-processed and have been added as code to ToolKitHelper program. The code protection added to the ToolKitHelper program will process the entire code and then executes the program which takes more time if the user is removing components one by one. I do suggest if the user is removing a particular category for example Windows Apps then the user can specify the component name as WindowsApps instead of all the component in the Windows Apps category, this will speed up the removal of the components. I'm working on the processing of component removal at run-time to speed up the removal time and also to reduce the program code size.
@MSMG what are these packages? Microsoft-Windows-DesktopFileExplorer-Package Microsoft-Windows-Management-SecureAssessment-Package
@MSMG in one Pckgs list there are two lines related to Xbox: ToolKitHelper:XboxApp ToolKitHelper:XboxIdentityProvider and in another Apps list of applications there are already six lines: Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI Microsoft.XboxApp Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay Which one is the most comprehensive for the complete removal of Xbox?
File Explorer App (Microsoft.Windows.FileExplorer_cw5n1h2txyewy) is the UWP version of File Explorer which is still under development, it doesn't have any shortcut, you need to create one to use it or you can run it using the below command C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515_cw5n1h2txyewy!App Take Test App (Microsoft.Windows.SecureAssessmentBrowser_cw5n1h2txyewy) is an assessment app for teachers and students, you can find the shortcut in the Start menu->System Tools
I have merged the Xbox related apps as XboxApp which removes all the below apps except the XboxIdentityProvider. Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI Microsoft.XboxApp Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay
How to find all apps/packages? On my installed "online" system, and in the mounted wim. I tried on my own, thanks to google, but I can't get even the limited "safe" list from template file Code: PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Format-Table DisplayName, PackageName DisplayName PackageName ----------- ----------- Microsoft.BingWeather Microsoft.BingWeather_4.25.20211.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_2019.125.2243.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.GetHelp Microsoft.GetHelp_10.1706.13331.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Getstarted Microsoft.Getstarted_7.3.20251.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension_1.0.13472.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Messaging Microsoft.Messaging_2019.125.32.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer_5.1902.20012.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_18.1901.1141.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_4.2.11280.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_3.1.53.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.MixedReality.Portal Microsoft.MixedReality.Portal_2000.19010.1151.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.MSPaint Microsoft.MSPaint_2019.213.1858.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Office.OneNote Microsoft.Office.OneNote_16001.11126.20076.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.OneConnect Microsoft.OneConnect_5.1902.361.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.People Microsoft.People_2019.123.2346.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Print3D Microsoft.Print3D_3.3.311.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.ScreenSketch Microsoft.ScreenSketch_2018.1214.231.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.SkypeApp Microsoft.SkypeApp_14.35.152.0_neutral_~_kzf8qxf38zg5c Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp_11811.1001.1813.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions_1.0.13333.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Wallet Microsoft.Wallet_2.4.18324.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WebMediaExtensions Microsoft.WebMediaExtensions_1.0.13321.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WebpImageExtension Microsoft.WebpImageExtension_1.0.12821.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Windows.Photos Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2019.18114.19418.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsAlarms Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_2019.105.629.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsCalculator Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_2019.105.612.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsCamera Microsoft.WindowsCamera_2018.826.78.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_16005.11029.20108.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_2019.226.2324.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsMaps Microsoft.WindowsMaps_2019.108.627.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder_2019.105.618.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsStore Microsoft.WindowsStore_11811.1001.1813.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI_1.23.28002.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.XboxApp Microsoft.XboxApp_48.48.7001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay_1.32.17005.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay_2.26.14003.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_12.50.6001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay_1.17.29001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.YourPhone Microsoft.YourPhone_2018.1128.231.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.ZuneMusic Microsoft.ZuneMusic_2019.18111.17311.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.ZuneVideo Microsoft.ZuneVideo_2019.18111.17311.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-AppxPackage | Sort Name | Format-Table Name, InstallLocation Name InstallLocation ---- --------------- 1527c705-839a-4832-9118-54d4Bd6a0c89 C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.FilePicker_cw5n1h2txyewy c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515 C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.FileExplorer_cw5n1h2txyewy E2A4F912-2574-4A75-9BB0-0D023378592B C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.AppResolverUX_cw5n1h2txyewy F46D4000-FD22-4DB4-AC8E-4E1DDDE828FE C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.AddSuggestedFoldersToLibraryDial...

Detects integrity violations. I used Windows 10 Pro x64 18363.418 1909 Ru. Spoiler: Screenshot [1] - Select the Source Images using [Source->Select Source from Source <DVD> Folder] menu. [3] - Remove all required Windows Components using [Remove->Remove Windows Components] menu. (Deleted all but 5 applications [Store, Photos, Video, Calculiator, Music]. Deleted through RemovePkgsList list. Spoiler: Screenshot [4] - Disable Automatic Downloading and Installing 3rd Party Apps [5] - Cleanup the Source Image using [Apply->Cleanup Source Images] menu. [6] - Apply & Save Changes to Source Images using [Apply->Apply & Save Changes to Source Images] menu. [7] - Re-Build Source Images using [Apply->Re-Build Source Images] menu. [8] - Converted from WIM to ESD. I try five times and all the same. Maybe due to the fact that he left 5 applications? Despite the violation of the integrity of Windows is working fine.
MSMG made the template and is in the directory "ToolKit_v9.5\Bin\ListsRemovePkgsList_W10_Template.txt"
Yes, I know, I used it, but just today author added 4 entries, and I'm wondering how much more can I trim Windows.
I am with ToolKit v9.5 and ESD 18363.418 in English downloaded from tb.rg-adguard and throws this error at the check: At first I thought it was because of removing Store, but the error continues not to remove it, both manually and using RemovePkgsList. Sorry for my bad English -------------------------- Edit: I answer myself, the missing file occurred while deleting "WindowsToGo" ><
