OneDrive is a System App and for v2004 only Windows App removal support has been added so far. If you don't remove the additional indexes or if you don't rebuild the images then the image size will be bigger.
- Open the NSudo and choose User : TrustedInstaller and Enable All Privileges options. - In the command box enter cmd and press enter key. - In the opened command window, use the DISM mount image command to mount the image. - Use the registry hive mount command to mount the necessary reg hives. - Import the Defender registry settings using the registry import command. - Use the registry hive un-mount command to un-mount the necessary reg hives. - Use the DISM un-mount image command to un-mount the image. or - Copy the Defender Registry file <Custom\Registry\w10\x64> folder under Toolkit folder. - Mount the Image using the Toolkit. - Use [5] -> [5] Import Registry Settings from Registry File. - Un-mount the Image using the Toolkit.
In 20H1 only Windows Apps removal have been added in Toolkit, so Installing or Integrating CU won't return the Windows Apps, for Windows Store and Xbox the CU may restore it's back-end files but not the Front-end App. HEIFImageExtension, VP9VideoExtensions, WebMediaExtensions and WebpImageExtension is left to the users choice, may be the new Edge might be configured to use these Extensions.
I didn't know integrating CUs could make the apps to return. So, the OneDrive that appears in MSMG ToolKit is a different one? Which one of the following should I remove since it won't have any effect on 20H1? ToolKitHelper:FirstLogonAnimation ToolKitHelper:GameExplorer ToolKitHelper:SpeechRecognition ToolKitHelper:CEIP_SQM ToolKitHelper:FaceRecognition ToolKitHelper:LocationService ToolKitHelpericturePassword ToolKitHelperinEnrollment ToolKitHelper:UnifiedTelemetryClient ToolKitHelper:WindowsErrorReporting ToolKitHelper:WindowsInsiderHub ToolKitHelper:SecurityCenter ToolKitHelper:MapControl ToolKitHelper:OneDrive ToolKitHelper:RetailDemoContent ToolKitHelper:SettingSync ToolKitHelper:SkypeORTC ToolKitHelper:SmartScreen ToolKitHelper:WindowsMixedReality ToolKitHelper:MixedRealityPortal Also, should I use the DISM removal method instead of the ToolKit Helper one? What's the difference between them?
Are there any components which rely on the indexes? Also, if I rebuild the image I don't have to do that or vice-versa or should I do both to have an ever smaller image?
The OneDrive is same but in Toolkit, since I haven't added the support for removing components other than WindowsApps, you won't be able to remove OneDrive right now. You can't remove any of these since the ToolKitHelper is not yet updated to support removal of these components.
What if I use DISM to remove them or it doesn't matter which method I use on MSMG ToolKit if using a 20H1 image? What if I remove them one by one instead of using a list or that wouldn't work too? Could you tell me which components of the mentioned ones can I successfully remove using a list or one by one on 20H1?
Be it you use the list or remove one by one the Toolkit uses the ToolKitHelper.exe for removal. Most of these components doesn't have a Package name so that they can't be removed using DISM.
Didn't you read the changelog.txt v9.7 + Updated ToolKit's Bin folder with Windows 10 20H1 Insider Preview WADK (v10.0.19592.1000) Tools. + Fixed bugs in the Integrate Windows Features Menu choice items. + Updated the Feature "Integrate WHD Updates" to Reflect the WHD Hotfix Repository Update List. + Updated the Feature "Remove Windows Component" to support Windows 10 Client v1909 (v10.0.18363.753) Source OS. + Updated the Feature "Remove Windows Component" to support removing Windows Apps for Windows 10 Client v2004 (v10.0.19041.172) Source OS. + Fixed Typo Errors and Optimized ToolKit Code (Thanks to MDL Member Kenafri).
It may be EaseOfAccessThemes component for which I haven't added any condition to restrict the removal to v1809/v1909 builds. Just wait for tomorrow will upload a newer version with support for removing Remoting, System, SystemApps and WindowsApps components for v2004.
