    1) I know about very basic DISM set and understand that it offers the most safe positions. But, probably, the "save to delete" setup can be wider.

    2) & 3) This is not about silent setups or any complicated things. Moreover, I think the most powerful changes on system level should be done only after installation has been completed.
    Here I'm talking about the place, where I can put very light cmd/PS lines for tweaking UI, shutting down some "standalone" services w/o dependecies, etc.
    It's just for a small & helpful things you can get from the box. Anyway I have my own GPO & cmd bundles I always can launch after installation, as usual.

    4) Menu tips are important, as I said before. But wiki post about apps & packs will always have much more handy & detailed information.

    All of these things are optional. This is only my proposition for future development (if anybody thinks it is reasonable and necessary).

    Despite your "one-button presets" are not what I'm exactly need, I decided to give it a try to prepear "Xtreme Lite Edition", for example.
    ( To see whether file associations work: RMB -> Open with... -> More apps )

    But when I launched a preset, then I've got stuck with a lot of "access violation" errors.
    Moreover, some files inside the main folder D:\MSMG\... lost a disk access, and they could no longer be deleted.
    So, I've needed to reformat the hole disk D: (Reboot didn't help). Thanks gods it's just a test machine...

    See one of the similar bugs on the screenshot
    (non-English words were painted on the shot, but message was about "Access violation")

    Sorry for very late reply.
    Thank you that helped me to understand and used v10.2 and did that following day but couldn't get a chance to post here, although I captured the steps.

    Code:
    
    1 Source -> DVD
    
    3 Add features - Win32 calc
    
    4 Remove -> removepkgslist.txt using Toolkithelper.
    
    
    5 Customize -> 8 -> 
         B (task view icon), 
         C (disable auto driver updates), 
         D (Disable Automatic Downloading and Install 3rd party apps), 
         F (Disable Windwos Upgrade),
         H (disable MS storage space for Windows update)
    
    6 Apply -> 1 cleanup
    
    6 -> 2 Apply and save to source images
    
    
    I have one question at step 4 : DISM_template folder has RemovePkgsList_W10.txt apart from RemoveAppsList* templates, so this one uses DISM, while RemovePkgslist template inside the Toolkithelper also uses the same. So in order to remove the components from the DISM which are *Package, how to remove them ?

    Decided to create the RTM LTSC first so created one ISO here itself and one more ISO with WIM->ESD max compression, one question can I service this image with MSMG again to integrate the latest SSU/CU comes for the LTSC2019 ?

    For Dotnet, I think I will use Offline Dotnet latest installer when I install the OS and Driver pack also later since I want this image for any system deployment not one system. Plus i need the driver software too for some components as I do not see .infs / .sys / .cat files for them at all even after extracting the exe, so didn't bother.

    Very happy that I got to use this toolkit again, it refreshes great memories. Thank you MSMG sir for the fantastic flawless work you do.

    1) What the main secret of your script (in words)? I have all Windows Features disabled, except main .NET 4.8 (but not anyone deleted, for now).
    Some time ago I'm also used to get an error trying update build 450 to build 508.
    But MSMG said that a new v10.5 applied to build 508 should fix manual (offline) cumulative update errors in the future.
    There is no newer cumulative updates than 508 till now, as well, in order to give it a try.

    2) Do you have file association menu working on your own build?
    I'm still no idea what to do... I mean, is this working for you:
    File -> RMB -> Open with -> More apps -> Nothing happen when click (no browsing window opened)

    A lot of errors. Most of them relative to path and access.
    Desktop normally is a protected location.
    May be D:\TEMP\Win10.iso would be better? Or C:\TEMP\...

    Will check and fix it, You can also use the latest version to remove components/apps for Windows 8.1 using the List method and the list template contains the package names for each component.

    The only difference is the custom registry changes done while removing components in MSMG ToolKit v8.8 is not applied in the new version.
