Think you didn't read the readme.txt properly Code: Known Issues: ============= - Windows 10 v1903/v1909 - Integrating or Installing Windows Updates after the component removal will restore the removed components and this is due to the recent change in Microsoft Updates mechanism.
Thank you , then I better use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, with MSMG ToolKit you remove the right defender?
Yes, The Toolkit works with W10 1809 or LTSC 2019 / v1903 / v1909. In v1809 the removed components won't be returned.
Is the latest version of ToolKitHelper.exe 1.0.2268.0? Where the download link of the ToolKitHelper.exe uploaded recently?The SHA1 isn't change for ToolKit_v9.5.7z from official link.
OK, installed a vanilla image and found the .mum files. Defender is listed there. After using Powershell to remove defender, several components of it still exist, as do the group Policy settings. Tried removing several packages using dism and they all failed with "Access Denied" errors, despite running command prompt as administrator. Did the powershell remove for system-dataarchiver, xps-viewer. Seem OK. Removed Windows Media Player with DISM, which resulted in access denied, but when I looked at optional features it said that it had been uninstalled successfully, and the files appear to have been removed but It too had the GPO settings intact. Search was more problematic. Had to use wim-tweak tool I found on WinAero, then take ownership of the SearchUI.exe file and delete it. But that didn't really work properly either. I expect if I use the toolkit I'll have less problems. Though, I'm not looking to "disable" them. I want to completely remove them.
Hi!!! Microsoft has published official ISO images for Windows 10 Build 19041 , related to the functional update, code-named 20H1. Using these images, you can perform a clean installation of the system on your PC. Recall that assembly 19041 was released on the Late Access channel in December last year, and it was it that received RTM status. This means that the development of the 20H1 update is complete. Microsoft is currently testing Windows Insider members to identify and fix key issues with the new version of the system. The public release of Windows 10 (version 2004) will take place this spring. It may be time to enable 20H1-19041 support in the MSMG ToolKit. Let users test. Why wait until spring?
I do not mind waiting a month or two for @MSMG to tweak the ToolKit and ToolKitHelper. Small things might change until the official ISOs are released, but I am sure MSMG will be monitoring what work might need to do until the final image is released. Many bugs are found and fixed a month or so after release and I would rather not risk my data while finding out what they are myself. If others wish to do so, then let them at their own peril.
The ToolKit is not updated yet to support v19041 But you can use the DISM method to remove them using ToolKit's -> Remove Windows Apps using AppList menu.
MSMG MDL Developer DISM method to remove them using ToolKit's -> Remove Windows? But? I Do Not Know How to Do it? Can You Give Me An Example?
After running wim-tweak, the search processes were still running (after multiple reboots), and the search components were still installed. I'll keep experimenting
