    How long until v2004 is fully supported? I tried to make some changes with 9.6.7 but it said not compatible with v2004.

    There is something wrong with all the applications using internal web pages to show content, they are simply not working. I tried to install bitdefender, and it shows a javascript error message, in the login page window, also mcafee has a problem installing.
    I have removed ALL the components, i selected everywhere remove all :). It seems to me like an internal webview host component is missing.
    Is this related to Internet explorer missing?
    PS: i removed with another tool webview win32 (or something like that called)
    PS2: v1909

    The basic thing : One should not use multiple tools to customize an ISO. It complicates the things.

    The README.txt says :

    Code:
    The ToolKit won't support Post-Servicing of ToolKit serviced source images with other similar tools.
    ( Rest Left To OP Sir! )

    Thanks. ...

  6. @MSMG brother there must be an option to choose multiple choices for packages to be removed from build . but as i have seen when somebody choose any package it directly proceed with removing it . in correct way a user must have the choice to select the packages first & then press enter to remove them from build. i hope it will be corrected in next build of MSMG toolkit project .

    You can't integrate the full Defender packages since some are merged with other packages.

    You can use the [4] ->[4] Remove Components using Package List method to remove selected components.

    Working on it, have added support for removing Windows Apps for v2004 and being testing it, it will be available very soon.

    Many applications do use Internet Explorer or it's components, do retain the IE and try if it works.

    WebView is related to Edge HTML and WebView2 is related to Edge Chromium

    Instead of me spending hours removing different components, trying and failing, may I ask which components are needed for Sticky Notes to function?

    EDIT: Nevermind, I loaded it up and it says "Depends on: Windows Store", which is a shame really, because I always remove it and have no need for it. Guess it's over to Google Keep for me then.
     
  12. Cortana & EDGE get installed again after updated os from 18363.592 to 18363.752 online . Both Apps were removed via toolkit using remove package list.
    any option in script so that no any app went back afterwards.

    2. any option to disable features from wim via toolkit with a preset file so that it could be edited & saved somewhere on toolkit directory.

    1) Due to Microsoft's change in CU package format starting from v1903 the removed components do return back when updates are installed manually or through the Windows Update, still a fix is being worked out.

    Windows Apps won't get restored only the normal components and system apps do get returned.

    2) [5] Customize -> Disable Features using features list, use this method to disable the features, do add the features names in the <Bin\Lists\DisableFeaturesList.txt> file.

    @MSMG Do you have a list of components that can be removed in 1903/1909 and that do not return when an update is installed? I believe that all System Apps have this behavior so can any components outside them be safely removed? For System Apps it is possible to prevent them from being deployed by removing a registry key. I would like to remove some components that insist on being reactivated after I disable such as System Restore for example.

    You might be right. Not everything can be disabled completely without removing. Some things insist on being reactivated as System Restore or run in the background as SmartScreen. Maybe I also missed something necessary to completely disable some things. But it is tedious to hunt down all things to disable since Windows 10 is very bloated compared to Windows 7. Even Windows 7 by default comes with a lot of unnecessary stuff enabled. Removing with MSMG Toolkit or NTLite is much more practical as they have already had the hard work of hunting for these things.

    But my point in my post was that it should be possible to optimize the OS without breaking the main features and for that you may have to disable components instead of removing them. And the only advantage of removing them would then be gain in disk space but I have noticed that some components in Windows 10 cannot simply be disabled.

    As per earlier posts :

    If one tries to remove a component / app that M$ don't want you remove, It will probably come back with a new CU. And its not always about M$ wanting you to remove it or not. Sometimes the component is really deep integrated. So, the hard cored things will come back & only the provisional packages & apps will not come back. System Apps will always be coming back.

    The good thing is : OP Sir has plans to make it possible to run toolkit on live system / OS, So that it can be used directly to remove the returned apps after every CU.

    I think a rather killer approach is not good. It should be very clear what we gain from it.

    For a newbie like me, It will always be good to remove components directly from the command prompt menu instead of using removal lists. As it gives a handy information about dependencies. Its not the broken system & only a broken functionality due to removal of dependency / dependencies.

    Thanks. ...

    Brother @MSMG do you have a preset of DisableFeaturesList.txt so that it will be edited as not required & pasted to directory %~dp0\Bin\Lists
    as i have use Optimise-offline previously no any app went back via any way . but some features like search & emozi panel was not working thatswhy i switched to your project .

    or user have to use a bat script that will disable not required features after fresh install ie :

    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:WorkFolders-Client
    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellV2
    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShellV2Root
    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:SmbDirect
    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:MSRDC-Infrastructure
    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:printing-XPSServices-Features
    DISM /online /disable-feature /featurename:WCF-TCP-PortSharing45

    Thanks & Regards :)

    Hello, at the very beginning I apologize for the translation from Google. I have such a problem. After slight modifications to the build system -.172 exactly when installing the system after adding the Microsoft account when the step of adding PIN. It doesn't show up to the window with the boxes. He jumps out but is invisible in the background. Only the ALT + TAB key combination helps at this time. Always to the end because the window is still not visible, but you can add a PIN and go to the end of the step. Someone may have a similar situation and knows the solution to what is caused or what may cause a conflict. Thank you very much for your help!
