    Like a professional athlete, I developed a few weird superstitions and eventually settled into a safe habit. I was concerned that there would be crc errors or esd compression errors.
    I would avoid running torrents while integrating and I couldn't figure out why I was running into problems with large AIO releases using esd format.
    I'm glad that MS is updating their builds every few months now because they know a lot of the microscopic details a lot better and generally have a much more flawless quality control than I ever could.
    I guess I could make updated LTSB/C versions, but TBH I got into the process because the older OS versions required hundreds of updates and would take a really long time to manually update from a fresh install.
    My updated versions were always meant to be like an updated MS release rather than a customized OS. I never really cared about the custom aspect or the piracy. I just wanted an updated clean install.

    @murphy78 You were doing something right because your iso's always seemed to be very well regarded, i never used them but others did. Tweaking is always a personal thing so any tweaks are better accomplished with reg or bat files users can add if they want to.

    LTSC one saving grace is it doesnt need as many updates as 7 and 8.1 as long as the chosen updates give a stable install so i go with a known set of updates then only update when i feel like it. I test them out first and once i get a stable system i just create a new updates folder, date and build number.

    I think you are referring to Toolkit's startup process, where it says Performing Toolkit pre-cleanup operation, please wait... Well all it does here is checking if there is any image mounted at these locations and then do un-mount them

    <Mount\Boot\1>
    <Mount\Boot\2>
    <Mount>
    <Mount\WinRE>

    Then it deletes and re-creates the Logs, Mount and Temp folders.

    Some keys are left for compatibility issues, if you want to remove any protected keys then do use the NSudo prompt, it works best with the TrustedInstaller protected keys.

    Since the Toolkit uses the DOS batch script, the batch script will only execute the next command after executing the current one, May be in other programming languages it is possible.

    The missing file "pwsso.dll" is the result of eliminating "WindowsToGo", both manually, with RemovePkgsList and with the command "ToolKitHelper: AllComponents", in the 3 ways "sfc.exe / scannow" throws me the error using ToolKit v9.5 and ESD 18363.418.

    I do not complicate my life so I backed up the missing file and pasted it into the System32 folder when performing a new installation.

    I use StartIsBack++ anyways ;)
    It appears Windows Seach = Indexing service
    "Normal" searching files works always
    Cortana is the one that makes original start menu search work

    I know pwsso.dll is from WinToGo and have tested the component removal with en-us image by removing all components without any SFC errors, do checkout here

    Did you used the windows update after the installation of OS or integrated/installed any CU manually?

    Removing Windows Search break all search related operations.

    Removing just the Cortana will break the Search in StartMenu and Settings.

    In latest v1903/v1909 CU removing Cortana is breaking the Windows Explorer Search.

    Hello,
    Your Toolkit is awesome. I've been using it for years. Is there any chance of adding custom Fonts to the installation of Windows 10, so every time I install Windows 10, they are automatically installed, instead of me always manually installing them? I have about 170 custom Fonts to install.
    Thank You....
