    If you want to disable the Windows Defender in Toolkit, just use the Disable Windows Defender from Custom Menu -> Apply Tweaks Menu -> Disable Windows Defender Menu

    1) Don't use more than one tool to customize the image.

    2) Don't enable window features or capabilities after the integration of windows updates or component removal.

    DISM error 11 is related to using wrong DISM architecture, do use the newer DISM from latest ADK and test.

    When you double click on the theme pack file it extracts the related files to certain directories like <Resources\Themes>, <Web\Wallpaper>, <Media> etc..

    You need to open the theme pack file with 7-Zip and extract the files to a folder and then copy the related files to the Toolkit's <Custom\Files\w10\x64\Windows>

    Use the ToolKit's Integrate->Integrate Custom Windows Features->Integrate Custom Files Menu to integrate the Themes.

    When you install the install the windows the custom files will be listed under Themes section.

    Only when enabling windows features or capabilities after the integration of windows updates and component removal will re-offer the CU to be installed.

    And when using an image (en-US/en-GB) but choosing en-IN as system local while installing.

    I have tested this, If you do the enabling thing before the integration and component removal, the WU won't re-offer the CU.

    I've just baked two LTSC images, x64 and x86.
    After updating my work PC, I can now create a ramdisk and run the toolkit from there. I used a 32GB ramdisk created with Softperfect Ramdisk.
    It's much faster working from ram, and it also saves the SSD. Just like a scratch disc.
    The only part that didn't speed up was the cleanup pass. I guess it's because of the many registry read-writes.
    Other than that, I'm happy with the results. Saves an enormous amount of time.

    Cheers.

    Okay, so what you are saying, is to put all Desktop Backgounds into the same directory, no matter how many themes you have?

    See below:

    What registry key is responsible for displaying the Windows Security item in the left menu? It needs to be returned.

    The default Windows themes folder is <Windows\resources\themes\Theme-Folder> and the user themes folder is <Users\<User-Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Theme-Folder>

    1) If you want to use the Windows theme folder then you may need to modify the .theme file to make changes to reflect the theme resources path to point to the Windows default theme folder.

    i.e. <Windows\resources\themes\Theme-Folder>

    2) If you want to use the User theme folder then you may need to create the below folder under <Custom\Files\w10\x64> folder

    <Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Theme-Folder>

    E.g: <Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Community>

    And copy the theme files to the above created folder.

    Each Theme has it's own folder for it's theme resources.

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "SettingsPageVisibility"==hide:windowsdefender;windowsinsider;windowsupdate
    
    Check whether the windowsdefender is present in hide list if it present then remove it from the list.
