    Before it was performed automatically, this just removes the files in temporary files/folders and log files from Windows folder.

    Hello, MSMG! I want to ask. How long to wait for the updated Edge Chromium package (V. 81.0.416.53) for Windows 10 (19041.207)? And is it possible to make EdgeChromium_w10_x64.tpk yourself, what is needed for this? Thanks!

    I know that, I use /ResetBase too on regular base. I am using your tool and all other similar tools for a long time WinTookit, NTLite, ... I always follow steps in Readme.txt and always use Start.cmd.I just wanted to report possible issues. I found a few...

    My final ISO have in size over 5 GB that is unusual, all components can be removed succesful except one, and when I try to install in VB I get nag screen before OOBE that my Windows cannot be installed on my hardware (someone already report the same), That cannot be conicindence.

    This version 9.8 works unusual on my side while with 9.5 I did not have such situation! Tried yesterday ISO 3.63 GB all components removed succesfully, Windows installed sucessfully.

    I know, it reduce ISO size by reseting previous updates to latest integrated.
    After that is not impossible to uninstall updates,...

    Will the toolkit not service the sysprepped images in Audit mode ?

    Creating a Toolkit pack needs a freshly installed windows system, right now my test system is not available to make the packs.

    Yes you can create the pack but you need to know filtering unwanted data from the captured file/registry.

    Ok try without the VC pack and Rebuilding the system means exporting the serviced index(es) to a new image to reduce the overall image size.

    May be I should change the text to be more meaningful, it means if the Image is serviced with other similar tools like WinToolkit, NTLite, WinReducer, and have removed components then it may won't work properly.

    With sys-prepared images it should work, try it out.

    Is this order right or can it cause problems?

    Code:
    Select Source
    Enable Features using List
    Disables Features using List
    Tweaks
    Add DX9 feature
    Add Windows Updates
    Add Windows Updates to setup
    Remove Packages using List
    Enable Features using List
    Disables Features using List
    Tweaks
    Clean up source
    Rebuild
    Apply to Images
    Build ISO

    But it's still bigger than the original image (4.15 GB vs. 3.81 GB) and I cleaned the source image, applied it and rebuilt it.

    Also, this time, after choosing the apply source image setting, MSMG ToolKit asked me if I wanted to clean the windows image when before it asked me this after choosing the cleaning source image setting. Does this prompt refer to the host's temporary files/folders and not the to be created image's (it's weird if it does since the new image is actually smaller [even if only 0.01 GB] than the created image in which I didn't choose the clean windows image setting)?

    [6] -> [1] Cleanup Image : /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanUp /ResetBase

    [6] -> [2] Apply Image : It cleans up these folders inside the image when [Y] is selected.

    Code:
            if exist "%InstallMount%\$Recycle.Bin" rd /q /s "%InstallMount%\$Recycle.Bin" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\PerfLogs" rd /q /s "%InstallMount%\PerfLogs" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Backup\*.*" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Backup\*.*" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\Windows\inf\*.log" del /f /q "%InstallMount%\Windows\inf\*.log" >nul 2>&1
            if exist "%InstallMount%\Windows\CbsTemp\*" (
                for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad "%InstallMount%\Windows\CbsTemp\*"" 2^>nul') do (rd /q /s %%i >nul 2>&1)
                del /s /f /q "%InstallMount%\Windows\CbsTemp\*" >nul 2>&1
            )
    
    If you had integrated Edge, it takes around 700MB of space, may be that's why you are getting an ISO of such size.

    I didn't integrate it and can /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanUp /ResetBase mess up updates in the new image? If I want to integrate Edge Chromium will I always have to integrate the latest version or it will be outdated? Will it be silent and start right after signing in for the first time? I already integrate a $OEM$ folder which pre-activates Windows 10 so how can I also integrate Edge Chromium since I assume MSMG ToolKit creates another $OEM$ folder?

    Also, how can I integrate all the updates instead of integrating one by one following a specific order? I tried integrating them and I had an error because MSMG ToolKit tried integrating the EP before the SSU and CU.

    I am sort of confused because I have no idea if that is a bug or I am performing some unexpected behavior.

    If I have completed all the operations(deleted a few packages) with Image, saved changes (Apply & Save) and after that I reopen the Image again through [1] Source -> [1] Select source from DVD folder then choosing in the main menu [4] Remove opens instead [5] Customize. The removal menu becomes unreachable, restarting doesn't help.
    Can one modify again already modified Image?

    For clarity: I have 2 images in source and it is a localized [ru] windows image 10.0.18363.720 Version 1909.

    Nah, doesn't work with sysprepped images. While selecting to mount the Boot and recovery image, it exists itself without any notification.
