@MSMG ,Have you ever planned to add a localization module to support multi-language support including Chinese in the next version 10.0 and later? In this way, the difficulty of localization can be reduced. Of course, this requires a process. For example, the unification of text format is a process. There is an example to refer: decrypt-multi-release.
Is there an easy way to make a TPK package? Would like to be able to update the Edge Chromium package whenever I want.. I know you can extract them using 7-Zip, but it looks like they get used by DISM? So I assume DISM creates them..
Just a quick question, does the removed components get reinstalled after a feature update? If so, can it be prevented?
I removed nearly everything with MSMG v9.8 from a Windows 1909 Pro ISO, sadly a few apps were reinstalled via Windows Update with KB4551762. Is there some way to prevent this? I thought this update would only include security fixes and no additional features. Following apps were installed, which were removed before: Adobe Flash, Cortana, MS Edge, Xbox, Security Settings When using LTSC as base, this doesn't happen with the same KB update.
This is probably has been asked, but is it normal that the install.wim file size got bigger after I removed mostly everything in the [4] Remove menu? I'm a bit confused here
Convert the install WIM fiile to ESD using the Convert menu - option 2 then option 4. I do believe you lose a small amount of speed during installation of Windows on slow computers, as it has to decompress the ESD file.
You may have to rebuild install.wim. And to have a reduction in size you need to delete all extra indexes.
Rebuilding means that the files, serviced by the tool, still stored inside the install.wim, are cleaned, same as when exporting the specific index. When you've used the tool to "chop" parts off, it won't always result in a smaller install.wim, you can resetbase or cleanup the mounted wim, to cleanup/remove the superseded bits, but that won't always decrease the size either.
This is not normal unless you have not rebuilt install.wim. The most practical way to do this is to export the desired index as Enthousiast has indicated. Removing Windows Apps significantly reduces the image and removing the other components reduces it very little but never increases the size. Did you integrate updates?
I followed what Enthousiast said and the size got smaller as it should thanks and no I didn't include updates, I prolly followed the wrong steps I believe I removed the apps from [4] menu then Clean, Apply & Save from [6] and then Make Iso from DVD from [8] Target menu
