    abbodi1406 hasn't uploaded the new VC Pack yet, only the AIO Executable is has been updated.

    Last time used the AIO Executable to create a pack for Toolkit but it didn't came well, so waiting for the abbodi1406's new pack to be uploaded.

    Don't integrate the VC pack until a newer pack is available.

    Use Start.cmd to run the Toolkit and don't integrate the VC pack since it contains a bug in creation.

    Due to the code protection I have added to the ToolKitHelper, it takes more time to load the program into the memory and then execute.

    Will try to add more options to ToolKitHelper to accept more parameters.

    It's already present in the ToolKit.

    It's due to Microsoft change in Update package format, the removed components do return when the system is updated either using Windows Update or through manual updates installation/integration.

    Thanks for identifying the VC pack bug, will re-create the pack once the original pack is updated.

    And I have fixed the %ImageBuild% reported thing in the next version.

    It's not a bug but rather it's due to Microsoft change in Update package format, the removed components do return when the system is updated either using Windows Update or through manual updates installation/integration.
    And I'm working on that to stop the components getting restored.

    Those are just links which can be removed by removing Content Delivery Manager or using Custom Start Menu Layout.

    Yes will add the Notepad component for removal in Toolkit and also create a Notepad 3 add-on.

    I have finished updating the components removal for v2004 and now updating the ToolKit Script, if you want will upload just the updated ToolKitHelper.exe for time being.

    You can speed up few things like if you are removing the whole component category then you can call the component category name instead of all the components in the category to speed up the removal.

    like calling ToolKitHelper:SystemApps will remove all SystemApps components.

    Though it's development have been stopped, the files still exist and the current ToolKit can remove them.

    For v2004, the Cortana App is moved to Windows Apps section since now it has become a store provisioned app.

    Is the functionality the same for 1903 - 2004? I.e. everything except for component removal working properly? Or does the featureset differ even throughout the more recent versions?
