    MSMG, Toolkit, removes only packages for defender and HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Policies. If I delete all defender files, will the image pass the integrity check?

    Hello Master MSMG this afternoon I started a new test using W8.1 PRO x64 as host and inside the Bin folder the "new" Toolkit helper(for testing) just to check if everything would happen as expected; as i already said before in version 1909 everything was ok in this compilation of the latest Windows 10 LTSC 2019 x64 and when i got to the component removal stage just see the image below hmm anyway i tried it 3 times and always accuses the same error o what could have happened? and remembering that ndp48 is up to date ...thanks

    Hello trim18 well when I install Windows from version 8.1 to the latest build that I also use in the case of W10 LTSC the first thing I do is open Regedit and disable UAC and then use the command net user xxx / active: yes and I rename the Administrator account for my own name on gpedit.msc as recommended by the M$FT itself so that I have absolute control of the machine since I am the only user and I have never had any problems and still due to habit when I work with the Toolkit I right clic button of the mouse to avoid any problem and about my post our Master MSMG will readily explain I'm sure of this ...

    Am I misunderstanding, or is it normal that I'm unable to update my installation and am getting error 0x80240016?
    I made Win10_1909_Pro_18363.449 when it was the latest, but I cannot update it, the process always fails. SSU and .NET updates work fine.

    I've tried everything to update/repair my image. I don't have the list of what I removed, I'm pretty sure I only removed what wouldn't come back with an update at the time. - So just apps. But I may have misunderstood and removed some components that I thought were declared safe to remove and would not have any effect blocking updates or being put back by them... (But maybe I was mistaken?)

    Sorry if that's vague. Any suggestions/requests for more detail? @MSMG

    I also want to bring up the option of "disable components" for those that it is easy to do so for. This way we can at least have a smooth functioning image out of box AND if mistakes are made in what is disabled - WE CAN TURN IT BACK ON! This would be a great option for some components that are easily disabled - even if you still work on complete removal of them. It's definitely not a waste of effort or redundant because it solves many potential issues and doesn't require redoing every CU. - A list of silly services to disable by default is a good feature too. For example:

    Hmm in my opinion we should not "mess" with services when using the Toolkit because this part of Windows is crucial so I always leave it to enable / disable services only after installing the system I think it is a matter of logic see if everything it went well in the installation and we used the command sfc / scannow and there was no problem accused there yes i open services.msc to execute this process because this way if there is any problem it is simple to undo the changes avoiding therefore the re-installation of the system just my two cents ...

    Hello Master MSMG I would like to know if you can compile a test version of Toolkit Helper to use with the 1809 build of W10 LTSC 2019 because as I already stated for version 1909 the test version of the Toolkit Helper works like a charm now my thank you very much :worthy:

    Adding switches to use MSMG Toolkit non-interactively would be so awesome, any chance of that happening? I would love to set up a monthly updates integration script.

    The ToolkitHelper that ships in Toolkit_9.5.7z is dated 10/25/19 and ToolkitHelper that is available separately in the MEGA folder is dated 12/31/19. Which one should I use?

    From the main menu, option 2 (Convert) then option 4 (Convert WIM Image to ESD Image). This is the last step before creating the ISO image and not available while the source is selected.

    @Feartamixg well I honestly don't want to justify my serious failure when asking about the conversion from WIM to ISO and at the same time I confess that I didn't know it was possible to use the previous options WITHOUT corrupt the Script so as a consequence with a simple question asked by noob developer I learned great things about how to use the fantastic possibilities of Toolkit v9.5 I also had an ISO with only 2.6GB as a prize of course this way I thank you so much for your invaluable help mate :):worthy:
