    Hello, I kindly ask if there is a faster procedure regarding the "Windows App Removal" section.
    I would like to delete most of the Apps, except one or two, do I have to carry out the long single selection procedure?
    example: [4]> [1]> [7]> [01]
    [4]> [1]> [7]> [02]
    [4]> [1]> [7]> [....]
    I ask if there is a faster method for this.
    Thanks

    Use RemovePkgsList.txt as I do to automate the process.

    Sorry, can I ask you how you do it?
    I have never done this procedure.
    Thank you

    I edited the "Toolkit.cmd" file. I created a "CustomSelectedSystemandWindowsAppsRemover" field, duplicated the script and edited to remove only what I need to be removed. I also created a "CustomSelectedTweaks" field... But it is much easier with editing the list templates that MSMG makes available in the paths:
    .\Toolkit\Bin\Lists\RemoveAppsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt
    .\Toolkit\Bin\Lists\RemovePkgsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt

    Create copies and rename respectively to:
    RemoveAppsList.txt
    RemovePkgsList.txt

    Edit as you want.

    Apply, in the option remove with or from a list file.

    If I understand correctly, just copy the script of the "RemovePkgsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt" file into the "RemovePkgsList.txt" file eliminating the lines relating to the Apps that you do not intend to remove.
    it's correct?
    Thank

    On W 10 - 1909 ISO one can not get an immediat inactivation of - Reserved storage, one has to wait for next update. Anyone knows how it is on 2004?

    Is correct. Just do that and apply using the option specified for that.

    Hello dear forum users! I ask you for help.
    When changing the number of files have to edit your batch file.
    Is it possible to register a cycle in the batch file so that the settings are imported regardless of their number?
    Now I use the batch file of the following content:
    regedit.exe /s REG IMPORT "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\7zip_x64.reg"
    regedit.exe /s REG IMPORT "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\msxml4_x64.reg"
    regedit.exe /s REG IMPORT "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\WinRAR_x64.reg"
    regedit.exe /s REG IMPORT "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\Unlocker_x64.reg"

    Help me please

    Is anyone having issues with Xbox One Controllers via BT on 2004? I'm trying to figure out if I removed something bad or if it's just 2004 being buggy.

    Good morning, I kindly ask how to activate Windows features, for example:
    Legacy components> directPlay
    Support for file sharing SMB 1.0 / CIFS
    I assume you have to use the sequence:
    [5] Customize> [1] Enable Windows Features using Features List
    But I don't know the correct names to insert in the list and I haven't found a template.

    Thanks

    @MSMG,
    Code:
    :: System Components
    if "%Component%" equ "ManualSetup" call :RemoveWindowsManualSetup
    
    Is that line correct? Or is it missing to complete according to the other command lines?
    Would it look like below?

    Code:
    if "%Component%" equ "ManualSetup" call :RemoveWindowsManualSetup "%InstallMount%\%%i", "Manual Setup", "ManualSetup"
    if "%Component%" equ "ManualSetup" call :RemoveWindowsManualSetup "%InstallMount%", "Manual Setup", "ManualSetup"
    
    Edit: Sorry, now that I see that the difference in the command is in the fact that it calls for another specific sector. Instead of calling "RemoveWindowsComponent", it specifically calls "RemoveWindowsManualSetup".


    Thanks in advance!

    I thought some of those "packages" (like Alarms, Maps, Calculator) were Windows apps and so they should be added not to the RemovePkgsList but to the RemoveAppsList list or they wouldn't be removed after using the Remove Windows Components Using Package List setting.

    Can someone tell me the Cortana app ToolKitHelper: entry to add to the RemovePkgsList.txt file (or should I add it to the RemoveAppsList.txt.txt file)? Does removing the Cortana app break Search?

    Also, it takes a lot of time to remove components.
    I thought removing Cortana only broke Start Menu Search and not also Settings Search and File Explorer Search.

    Done some testing with ToolKitHelper:WindowsApps in RemovePkgsList.txt to see what is removed. All Enterprise en-gb images.

    1909 image - I forgot if x86 or x64, but I believe x64:

    This is what was NOT removed from 2004 x86 but removed from 1909 x86:
    • ToolKitHelper:Messaging
    • ToolKitHelper:MixedRealityPortal
    • ToolKitHelper:OneConnect
    • ToolKitHelper:print3D

    This is what was NOT removed from 2004 x64 but removed from 1909 x64::
    • ToolKitHelper:Messaging
    • ToolKitHelper:OneConnect
    • ToolKitHelper:print3D

    I did not realise that the above were not being removed during my previous testing of 2004. I have removed the following from my RemovePkgsList.txt:
    • ToolKitHelper:Messaging
    • ToolKitHelper:OneConnect
    • ToolKitHelper:print3D
    Note that I did not delete ToolKitHelper:MixedRealityPortal in order to remove it from x64 images - I do not believe it will not harm x86 image by leaving it in, but could @MSMG please also confirm this for me?

    Have now updated my RemovePkgsList.txt:
    ToolKitHelper:GameExplorer
    ToolKitHelper:MapControl
    ToolKitHelper:OneDrive
    ToolKitHelper:peopleExperienceHost

    If you check RemoveAppsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt you will see that Cortana is not listed. However if you check RemovePkgsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt you will find Cortana listed as ToolKitHelper:Cortana. Therefore you should add this to your RemovePkgsList.txt list.

    Would be very welcome a features list template.

    Are you planning to put these list templates for download, @MSMG?
