    Good morning to all.
    I have a question about MSMG Toolkit.
    I have removed 4 editions keeping only 2. Can I directly apply, save and create ISO, or must I first select Index, cleanup Source Images befor saving and creating ISO?

    How do I export the indexes into a new install.wim?

    So, it works only with 1 index and not with 2 or 3?

    The range option doesn't seem to work, so i had to do the export to new.wim twice to be able to export 2 indexes to new.wim.

    Will try it...
    Another question. Is it normal that converting WIM to ESD take about 20 minutes?

    Yes, it can take a while to compress the install.wim to install.esd, depending on the used host hardware.

    MSMG,

    Where can I get registry tweaks from O&O ShutUp10?

    p.s
    I used Nirsoft's RegistryChangesView to get the settings, my own analysis of Group Policy gave a ton of settings! I don't want to risk it, so I need proven settings!

    I couldn't find the registry key from SmartScreen from the results from RegistryChangesView, I can't believe they didn't blacklist this master spy! I'm interested in Group Policy keys, I'm making a list to do a more thorough analysis!

    In the latest test builds, they decided to replace the word "telemetry" with "diagnostic data" (for idiots).

    - Yes will check with OneDrive and Cortana removal on Live system although it gets removed when tested with VMware.

    - Cortana Button on Taskbar can only be hidden but not removed.

    - Removing Search package will break the Start Menu and Settings Search, do you want it to be removed?

    From next version you can remove the pre-installed Edge Chromium in W10 19042.

    You can create the pack yourself by using VMWare.

    - Install a clean OS.
    - Disable all notifications, monitoring's and cut off Internet to VMware.
    - Use Total Uninstaller Ultimate to create a snapshot of the current OS, but don't close it.
    - Install Google Chrome using Offline Installer.
    - Select Installation is finished in Total Uninstaller Ultimate.
    - Filter the unwanted entries in the File System and Registry in Total Uninstaller Ultimate.
    - Export the Registry in Total Uninstaller Ultimate to a file Chrome_w10_x64.reg
    - Copy all the required file/folder entries in Total Uninstaller Ultimate to a file and save it as Chrome.ini

    This is a sample format for EdgeChromium.ini

    Code:
    [ExclusionList]
    \
    
    [ExclusionException]
    \Program Files\Microsoft\Edge
    \Program Files\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate
    \Program Files\Microsoft\Temp
    \ProgramData\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate
    \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Edge.lnk
    \Users\Public\Desktop\Microsoft Edge.lnk
    \Windows\Installer
    \Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\ImplicitAppShortcuts
    \Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Microsoft Edge.lnk
    \Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Microsoft Edge.lnk
    \Windows\System32\Tasks\MicrosoftEdgeUpdateBrowserReplacementTask
    \Windows\System32\Tasks\MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineCore
    \Windows\System32\Tasks\MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineUA
    
    - Use Wimlib-imagex to capture the Chrome image by using the below command

    Code:
    wimlib-imagex capture C:\ Chrome_w10_x64.esd test test --compress=LZMS --solid --config=Chrome.ini >nul
    
    - Now in the Live System, do apply the captured Chrome_w10_x64.esd to a folder and then re-capture it using the DISM /Capture-Image command
    - Export the captured Chrome_w10_x64.wim to Chrome_w10_x64.tpk using the DISM /Export-Image command with /Recovery switch
    - The Pack is ready.

    For O&O ShutUp10 you can use RegFromApp it works better.

    This does not work efficiently, two programs from the same author, but show random results ...

    p.s
    They added SmartScreen filter, although I can't find the key!
