    Does the tool work only with install.wim or also with install.esd?

    If you use install.esd, you'll need to convert to install.wim.

    Right now it contains the files related to InputApp and ScreenCliping, may be in future it will be expanded to include updates for other Windows programs, just need to wait and see what MS will be doing with future Windows releases.

    As @kgbab said do replace "4562253" and replace all lines with "4566425" and save the file, that will be fine.

    Do copy the required updates to <Packs\WHD\10> and use the Integrate WHD Update Pack menu.

    DotNetRollup package requires .NET 3.5/4.8, do use the Microsoft .NET 4.8 Pack Framework provided in the Toolkit download folder and use the Menu Integrate Microsoft .NET 4.8 Framework from Integrate menu.

    MSMG,

    I only mount install.wim to remove junk, do I need to mount all other files?

    Code:
    Edge
    OneDrive
    SecureAssessmentBrowser
    WindowsApps
    
    UnifiedTelemetryClient
    WindowsInsiderHub
    SecurityCenter
    ContentDeliveryManager
    BioEnrollment
    EdgeDevToolsClient
    ParentalControls
    PeopleExperienceHost
    SettingSync
    SkypeORTC
    SmartScreen
    WindowsDefender
    XboxGameCallableUI

    If you are referring to adding Toolkit's Edge Chromium pack to a image which already contains an old Edge Classic browser then it's not a problem keeping both, unless if you run the new Edge installer it will replace the old one.

    If you are referring to adding newer version of Toolkit's Edge Chromium pack to a image which already contains an older version of Toolkit's Edge Chromium pack then It's better to use a fresh image without the Edge Chromium.

    If you are referring to W10 v2009 which comes with new Edge installer integrated, then integrating the Toolkit's Edge Chromium pack will be of no use since the pre-integrated Edge installer will replace the Toolkit's Edge Chromium pack.

    With the latest Edge Chromium, the MS has added new features which replaces the old Edge classic browser and it makes it difficult to create Toolkit packs for Edge Chromium since there are too many file and registry changes.

    For removing purpose, mounting only the install.wim is sufficient.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization]

    I have a Windows 10.0.19041.329 image with an old Edge. As far as I understand, when integrating the new Edge from the Tolkit package, there will be two Edge in the image?

    Just to be sure, in which folder should I put the dynamic update (KB4566780), the Dynamic folder or the SetupMedia one like Enthousiast says?

    Now I just need to know what's safeOS/CBS, I guess. And can it be integrated into esd (I assume the wim you're talking about is the install one)? This is confusing since it seems there are two types of dynamic updates.

    You can't service an install.esd.

    When "integrating by dism" is mentioned, then it goes into the wim files, again, when put in the correct folders, MSMG should handle them properly.

    Hello MDL, It's been a long time. Was busy with studies, job and life etc. Very good to see MSMG and MDL are going strong, A big thank you to MSMG for keeping this project strong and to whole MDL community, great people here always. I will try to be regular from now as I missed a lot of learning cannot afford to lose more, that MDL dose everyday is really great :)


    Have been using Win8.1 Update 3 Enterprise 64bit installation since 4 years all tweaked with MSMG toolkit to remove the components, disabled Defender and remove telemetry by abbodi's tips and some minor tweaks like disabling the SMB, Reg tweaks, Open Shell etc, running with rock solid stability. However with Win7 now losing support for games starting with DX12 only games and I presume Ampere wont support Win7 OS anymore, AMD already abandoned Win7/8.1 perhaps the software ecosystem might slowly move away, I would like to dual boot my system and slowly migrate to Win10 and get used to it, LTSC 1809 17763.316 & keep 8.1 installation intact for playing old games and enjoy the old Aero UX, Win7 nope because of my GPU GOP driver not there in BIOS, so need full UEFI.


    So I was giving MSMG toolkit a try to create LTSC ISO and integrate drivers etc. Sorry, I tried to search but no avail, it's a really noob question, the 10.1 version says when I select for component removal for 17763.316 as Source OS, only RTM 1809 release of LTSC which is 17763.1 is only supported, is this final and no way to debloat the LTSC updated release ? I remember the RTM version had some explorer issues when it was out and then MS pushed updates to fix it, afaik that updated .316 is the version which is needed.

    Thanks in advance.

    @MSMG

    I personally prefer to install Windows from WIM file by WinNTSetup on WinPE; it's faster, practical. Therefore ISO files needless for me.

    MSMG Toolkit's only support ISO. Opening, Mounting, Dismount and Creating ISO... This is a waste of time.
    My suggestion is not WIM support. More than that: "Offline image" to [1] Source.

    For example, there is a Windows Image just extracted by WinNTSetup (or DISM ) to a disk partiton. But SysPrep phase has not started.

    MSMGToolkit can do all the operations to this offline disk partition based on the source. Thus, there is no need for Mount, Apply, Dismount, ISO creation, etc. progress. As Dism ++ supports.

    This feature would be a huge savings in terms of both processor, disk and time usage.

    It is not completely removed, there are remnants in Internet Explorer (Web browser)!

    MSMG,
    Are you familiar with NTLite removal methods?
    This will help solve some problems with removing components, adding new ones, fixing old ones, etc.
