    ToolKitHelper <MountPath> /?

    or

    Check in <Bin\Lists\RemovePkgsList_W10_Template.txt> to get the list for Windows 10 and add the required components in <Bin\Lists\RemovePkgsList.txt> and use the Remove Windows Components using Package List menu.

    Arghhh!!! So how do I get a list of all packages that can be removed?

    /get-WindowsFeatures et al in powershell does not give the list you provided?

    Then how do I remove them?

    Change en-US to your image locale and before adding the package names to the RemovePkgsList.txt remove the text "~amd64~~10.0.17763.1.mum"

    Code:
    Dir/b Mount\Install\Windows\servicing\Packages\*defender*.mum | findstr /v "en-US"

    OK, I am not explaining myself very well. Sorry, my bad.

    I am wanting to remove several features/roles/packages from the server. I used defender as an example. Some of the features are greyed out so they have to be removed some other way than server manager.

    OK \mount = %windir% = C:\Windows. Got the list. Quite long, but no defender in the list.

    I think maybe I should probably not mess with things I have no knowledge of. There are multiple parts to each component and I don't know what I can/should remove. So, like it or not, it looks like I'm staying with Server 2012 R2 for the foreseeable future.

    Thanks! How do I use the DISM component removal template with ToolKitHelper?

    I tried to use the \remove-package dism parameter as follows:

    dism /image D:\ToolKit_v9.5\Mount\Install /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-Management-SecureAssessment-Package

    But get an error 87 (An error occurred trying to open - Microsoft-Windows-Management-SecureAssessment-Package Error: 0x80070057)

    EDIT: Checked Mount\Install\Windows\servicing\Packages and the one specified above (Microsoft-Windows-Management-SecureAssessment-Package) doesn't exist - ignore!!

    Will check with the Server 2019 for properly removing the Defender and let you know the method.

    As far as disabling features, it can be done by using the Toolkit's Disable Features using the Features List method.

    Same way as ToolKitHelper list method, just add the DISM Package name in the RemovePkgsList.txt.

    Microsoft-Windows-Management-SecureAssessment-Package

    If you had used the ToolKitHelper method to remove SecureAssessment then you won't find the package name
    Microsoft-Windows-Management-SecureAssessment-Package.

    Anyone hating the new Downloads folder group by date view in 1903/1909?

    Here's the tweak to disable it.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{885a186e-a440-4ada-812b-db871b942259}]

    No, I just use it after the OS Installation for people who don't want the components to be removed.
