    Will it remove the Internet, Multimedia and Privacy components in the 2004 builds?

    I doubt that :(
    I could be wrong however,
    a question for you @windows10user
    is it possible to use "other tools" after using msmg toolkit to slim down even more the iso?
    @MSMG,
    a question/request,
    in the tweeks menu instead of having letters for the tweeks could numbers be used instead?
    and when the tweek is applied, would it be possible for toolkit to return me to the tweeks menu not the main menu?

    I will be testing the new ToolKitHelper also with my 1909 builds. If time allows, I may also try 2004.

    I can attest to that. All of the PCs here are on 1809. With Cortana removed search works fine. Even with the search service disable, Bit slower, but works fine.

    @MSMG What do you use to edit the toolkit?
    For my scripting I'm using Notepad++ but I have a bug somewhere that is causing it to crash and Notepad++ has no syntax checking, unless I'm missing something.

    Cortana Remove

    A Mod for ReMoving Cortana Automated @ User Account Craetion Clean Install First Start with no (MayBe) Breaks . . .

    Craete a CortanaRemove.bat and place following in :

    PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList '-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command ""Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.549981C3F5F10* -AllUsers| Remove-AppxPackage""' -Verb RunAs}";

    Copy CortanaRemove.bat into MSMG Toolkit Moundet Iso Windows Folder .

    Craete a CortanaRemove.reg and place following in :

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
    "CortanaRemove.bat"="C:\\Windows\\CortanaRemove.bat"


    Import CortanaRemove.reg into MSMG Toolkit Moundet Iso Registry .

    For DisableSearchBoxSuggestions for Web Bing Content in Taskbar Create DisableSearchBoxSuggestions.reg and place following in :

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
    "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001


    So before Craete a User after Clean Install Cortana will be Removed by Windows Legal workflow for all Users . . . but can be ReInstalled also by Windows Legal workflow .

    Similar different tools use different methods to remove the components, using more than one tool may cause issues and thus I don't recommend using more than one tool for removing components.

    I do use 0-9, A-Z for menus since the user won't be having the option to enter the wrong choice/input and so the repetitive call to the menu is avoided.

    I do use the Notepad3 v5.20.411.2 for editing the Toolkit script file.

    Thank you for your answer.
    I tried to integrate them but when i install windows on the virtual machine, none of the drivers i tried to integrate seem to be installed even though on the toolkit they were all sucessfully integrated... Is that possible that those specific drivers i want to integrate need to be installed manually and can't be integrated ? Or is there something to do right after windows is installed to get them working ? I ask that because on some of the drivers i extracted using the command you suggested, there are many other DLLs, SYS and EXE files besides the inf file.

    Also i tried to go in Device Manager and Add Legacy Hardware from there, if i go on the audio drivers, i can find the realtek driver i tried to integrate but when i try to install it windows goes on blue screen and restarts all over.

    Thank you for your time.

    EDIT: Tried to do the whole process again and installed Win on a different partition and it worked all fine (i'm such a noob...xD).
    Again, thank you for everything...can't wait for the GUI version of Toolkit
