MSMG ToolKit

v17763 uses the old package format and it's not affected, only starting with v1903 and above it uses the new update method and so the removed components do get restored.

The changelog clearly specify which components are added for removal and now I have added separate template lists for each OS's.

 

Can't promise anything soon, I'm doing my best.

Yes you can integrate the custom skins but it will also break the SFC.

Yes the OneConnect, PPIProjection, Print3D doesn't exist in v2004.

I do see the features list is proper, will add the features template list in next versions.

 

It depends upon the user who wants to further make the OS lite by removing systems apps and other components like IE, WMP etc.

 

Make sure the AV is not interfering with the Toolkit folder, sometimes a reboot might be required for the Toolkit to un-mount some files in the mount folder.

 

Yes.

 

I do extract the keys from O&O ShutUp 10 App, there's a newer version available now, Will check and fix the keys.

0x00000000 (0) - No peering (HTTP Only)
0x00000001 (1) - Peers on same NAT only (LAN)
0x00000002 (2) - Local Network / Private group peering (Group)
0x00000003 (3) - Internet
0x00000063 (99) - Simple download mode, no peering (Simple)
0x00000064 (100) - Bypass mode, Delivery Optimization not used (Bypass)

 

WindowsCommunicationApps contains the Windows Mail and Calendar, removing the Windows Mail from the ToolKit will also remove the Calendar.

 

Just use the below code to import all reg files from a folder.

Code:

        for /f "tokens=*" %%z in ('"dir /b "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\*.reg"" 2^>nul') do (
            echo.Importing [%%z] to Image Registry...
            regedit.exe /s REG IMPORT "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\%%z"
        )

 

Try retaining Xbox App and see if it works properly.

 

Open the EnableFeaturesList.txt present in the Toolkit's <Bin\Lists> folder with notepad and add the lines

Code:

DirectPlay
LegacyComponents
SMB1Protocol                         
SMB1Protocol-Client                   
SMB1Protocol-Deprecation             
SMB1Protocol-Server

now save the file and use the [5] Customize> [1] Enable Windows Features using Features List

 

Removing ManualSetup will remove all the files and folders that are required to do a in-place upgrade from with-in the Windows, then the only option to install the OS is by booting from the setup media.

 

The RemoveAppsList uses the DISM method to remove the Apps, to use the ToolKitHelper method then you need to use the RemovePkgsList

 

Adding "Microsoft.549981C3F5F10" to RemoveAppsList.txt will remove Cortana App (DISM Method).

Adding "ToolKitHelper:Cortana" to RemovePkgsList.txt will remove Cortana App (ToolKitHelper Method).

 

MixedRealityPortal is only present in x64 builds, there's no harm in leaving the entry in the list, the Toolkit just gives a message the component is not found.

Messaging, OneConnect and Print3D don't exist in v2004.
