@MSMG I tried using an "older" version (1903) and I keep getting this error ? =============================================================================== MSMG ToolKit - Remove Windows Components Using Package List =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ####Starting Removing Windows Components Using Package List#################### ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image : Install.wim Image Index : 3 Image Architecture : x64 Image Version : 10.0.18362.657.0 Image Edition : Enterprise Image Default Language : en-US ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ####Removing Windows Components Using Package List############################# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Removing AdobeFlashForWindows Package... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSMG ToolKit Commandline Helper Version: 1.0.2700.0 Image Version: 10.0.18362.657 Error: Unsupported Windows OS Image ToolKitHelper only support Windows 10 v1809 and v1909 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For component removal, you need v1909 which is v1903 + Feature update for v1909 + latest SSU & CU. Do integrate the required updates and then try removing components or Use the latest v1909 available ISO.
I added it here: C:\ToolKit_v9.6\Updates\w10\x64 This file: windows10.0-kb4551762-x64_dacef156c781f2018d94d5a5286076610ba97279 Which I see is not the KB you are referencing... Is the one you are reference the servicing stack update?
This is driving me insane. Can't get stop Cortana and Edge running. Both are damn malware! I've tried GPO, registry and disabling services. I even tried removing it with powershell, knowing that as soon as I install a CU it get restored, but powershell says it cannot be removed. Background apps are also disabled in settings.

Is renaming the folder the only way?
Looking at lines 21901 - 21906 in toolkit.cmd...

You need to extract the Update KB4551762 using 7-zip to <DVD\sources> folder. The update KB4551762 contains updated setup related files.
In Toolkit, TK_NTUSER referes to \Users\Default\ntuser.dat For live system, change TK_NTUSER to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Oh darn! So... HKLM\TK_NTUSER becomes \HKCU HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE is \HKLM\Software HKLM\TK_SYSTEM is \HKLM\System and HKLM\TK_DEFAULT becomes ???
Services are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services HKLM\TK_DEFAULT is HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT
1. I read somewhere that Task Scheduler try to launch disabled things, apps, telemetry again & again but my understanding of the fact is very little. 2. I was also checking Autoruns the other day with the option : Show Windows & Microsoft entries. What better if we can kill / disable the things on startup itself. ( I see it in you. So, what good if you use Autoruns with Process Monitor & Process Explorer ) 3. Event Log errors ? It reminds me of ''blackviper's service configurations for win 7'' & its obvious, isn't it ? System tries to launch something, gathers resources, initiates procesess & halted just at the final point! It has to be killed from the root, taking out all the branches & finally the tree but what to do if one of the branch is also shared /required among wanted components. 4. I was very much interested in mounting the live os in the toolkit & make the changes straight from there. OP sir has plans for it. 5. And I forgot to mention that before renaming the things, better kill them in Task Manager before hand. Thanks. ...
Hi @ll . . . are SomeMan in drouble with 19o3-19o9 an DisPlay Brightness Profiles ! ?

Known Issues: ============= - Using ToolKit with Antivirus Programs enabled can affect the ToolKit's operations. - ToolKit's ToolKitHelper.exe may be flagged as a Virus/Trojan/Malware Program, Don't worry it's just a False Positive Sign. - The ToolKit won't support Post-Servicing of ToolKit serviced source images with other similar tools. Do use normal text size in forums.
Many thanks for the quick reply. [ I just pasted the text from the browser tab, where Defender redirected to for the explanation, & I didn't realise that it wasn't normal size before I posted. ]
So, is this correct? Code: HKLM\TK_DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows Search" :: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows Search" and also, because it is defined for the current user also; Code: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows Search" Toolkit lines 21850 and 21863.
