The Toolkit can't remove the Firewall, Only the components specified in the list can be removed. Make a list of components that not don't exist in the LTSC and add those component names in the RemovePkgsList.txt and use the [4] Remove -> [4] Remove Windows Components using Package List menu.
Check in <Bin\Lists> folder for these files compare RemovePkgsList_W10_LTSC_2019_Template.txt with RemovePkgsList_W10_10.0.17763_Template.txt or RemovePkgsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt you will get the difference. Can't remove the firewall coz I haven't added the support for removing it.
I have updated the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Pack for Windows 7 to version 4.8.4180.13 (KB4552921).
Maybe it is a lot of work to remove the firewall as it is part of Windows Defender? i found the above post by MSMG in a few minutes - just use the forum search facility to search only this thread for what you need (I searched this thread for firewall). Sometimes search is quicker than constantly asking the same question.
If you remove something from RemoveAppsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt or RemovePkgsList_W10_10.0.19041_Template.txt will that reflect when you say remove "all apps"? I only want to keep Store, Xbox whatever and Mixed Reality so I assume when I do "remove all" that I won't touch these packages? update: Yeah that sounded dumb... Do we make new copies without the template part added to it or use the existing ones that lack the version number?
@MSMG, thank you for answering my what may seemb to you silly nay even stupid questions. thank you again for msmg toolkit, will there be a fix to increese the speed of item removal? does the toolkit helper and it's friends use one core of the machine or all of them? I have 4 cores here and was wandering if using more cores would help in speeding things up? a feature request if you would not mind at some point, would it be possible to add font removal and other keybord layouts and langauages that are not used to the removal possibilities? thanks again @MSMG
@MSMG sorry if i sound like a broken record, on another note, how do you find all the componants that toolkithelper can remove? I mean how do you find the names that will enable removal? exammple is it possible to remove all of hyper-v via the ToolkitHelper? if so what whould be typed? reason for asking is i'm blind and hyper-v does not work for me, it's not accessible.
Tested v10.0 and latest ToolKitHelper with 2004 and the latest SSU and CU. I am very pleased to report that I did not receive any SFC errors, which I fully expected to receive due to issues with 1909 updating. Perhaps there was something wrong with 1909 which has now been fixed in 2004?

Can you provide on next version the support for removing CallingShellApp? I always remove without problems with NTlite. I use notepad++ with "compare" plugin downloaded directly from the "Plugins">"Plugins Admin" menu. In this way, in order to identify small errors I make the comparison between original files and the ones I am editing. It is very intuitive. Especially when I make massive substitutions. It certainly makes life easier. Edit: Correcting the wrong name "CallShellApp" to the correct name "CallingShellApp".
Thank you very much. A little tweaked for /f "tokens=*" %%z in ('"dir /ad /b "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp"" 2^>nul') do ( echo.Copying [%%z] files to Install.wim xcopy "%~dp0Addons\%ImageArchitecture%\Temp\%%z" "%~dp0Mount\%%i\" /h /e /g /q /r /y )
yes skip removing Windows Photo Viewer and other things, without use RemovePkgsList, because it have a 1 minute delay for each component.
just tested, it does not work, if use this rem comment it will remove all menu like without this rem comment.
thank you i also have found some bug in msmsg v10 while i try to remove all component from the Windows Components Menu > windows App Removing Solitaire Collection App Package... a window appear sorry don't have screenshot for that i have received this window of bug every index if i use * option but if i use only one index which is i tried workstation it completely removed iso used Win10_2004_English_x64.iso downloaded from microsoft
found a bug in version 10, system restore is broken, and it doesn't depend on whether the component is removed or not, also integration calc is broken too.
