Removing some components offline breaks the OS and they can only be removed online, CloudExperienceHost is one of such type. Try as @AeonX told, if it works disabling using unattend.xml file Code: <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\CloudExperienceHost\CreateObjectTask" /Disable</CommandLine> <Description>Disabling CloudExperienceHost Task </Description> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands>
Make sure you have integrated the cu .172 Import the below registry settings before component removal Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "CurrentBuild"=18363 "CurrentBuildNumber"=18363 "ReleaseId"=1909 "UBR"=dword:000002d0 Import the below registry settings after component removal Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "CurrentBuild"=19041 "CurrentBuildNumber"=19041 "ReleaseId"=2004 "UBR"=dword:000000ac PS. I don't recommend this method since the component removal may differ for v2004, try at your own risk.
here: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AdvertisingInfo HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AdvertisingInfo Enabled 0 ??? or how to return back correctly?
Installed the package: but did not find the .xml file to install. Mail and Calendar applications still crash at startup.
Is the source is W10 v1909? Advertising.Xaml is a dependency package for Weather, Windows Mail and Calendar App. It is installed along with the Weather or Windows Mail and Calendar App using the /DependencyPackage switch
I did everything as advised. Does not work. Menu item 5-7 or 8-3-4 Reg file integration does not change registry values. Had to be changed manually. But still, Toolkit defines the image as 19041.172.
Use it at your own risk, the component removal will differ for v2004, and I won't support if any component breaks using this method. Try the below method - Mount the image, load the image registry using [8] Load Image Registry - Import the below registry settings Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "BuildLabEx"="18363.1.x86fre.vb_release.191206-1406" "CurrentBuild"="18363" "UBR"=dword:000002d0 - Unload the image registry using [8] UnLoad Image Registry - Now remove the components - Load the image registry using [8] Load Image Registry - Import the below registry settings Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "BuildLabEx"="19041.1.x86fre.vb_release.191206-1406" "CurrentBuild"="19041" "UBR"=dword:000000ac - Unload the image registry using [8] UnLoad Image Registry
For the sake of experiment, I removed AdvertisingXAML from the image (v2004 build 19041.172), but left the Mail, Calendar, People applications to check the dependency and whether they will start and work after the installation of the system. Installed a system and applications did not start. But then I updated them through the Store and they started to work.
