    Sent an 2020-09-22 updated file in the link above.

    Some minor changes: Enabling the installation of the Windows driver from the WU and in the Windows Explorer Settings, in the selection of custom settings, set the "Minimized State Tablet Off" mode to "0". In this case the bar will have the pin fixed in Windows Explorer (this will disable automatic bar hiding).

    Improved all Inserted Conditions
    Code:
    ...
           if "%Component%" equ "PrivacyComponents" (
               %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" AssignedAccess;CEIP_SQM;FaceRecognition;KernelDebugging;LocationService;PicturePassword;PinEnrollment;UnifiedTelemetryClient;WiFiNetworkManager;WindowsInsiderHub

    Added "Block and UnBlock Automatic Edge Chromium-based Delivery" to Apply Tweaks Menu

    The "Block Automatic Edge Chromium-based Delivery" option was also inserted in the "Apply Custom Tweaks Selection" option. If you want to test Custom Tweaks and want to keep the possibility of receiving the update for Edge Chromium, just apply the option of "Unblock Automatic Edge Chromium-based Delivery" later. What the "Apply Custom Tweaks Selection" option does is described in the download post.

    Merged with new MSMG Toolkit 10.5

    I facilitated the steps in the menu [6] Apply.
    When it finish a step, it goes back to Menu "[6] Apply". Only when you finish the Rebuild Step that goes back to the Main Menu.

    Some aesthetic changes were made just to display the message "Mounting Image Registry ..." and "Un-Mounting Image Registry".

    Fixed the Menus that had the options reversed.

    Since I am doing this, I have already been reviewing the Custom Menus and I saw that after @MSMG added PowerShell7 to the menu, I forgot to change the information about which items are Integrated in the Custom Option. So, I also added PowerShell7 to be integrated into the "Integrate Custom Selection ..." options

    Merged with new MSMG Toolkit 10.4

    Now, with @MSMG suggestions, the removal menu doesn't show there options for ISO sources integrated with new cumulative or feature updates, is fixed.
    ex:
    18362.1016
    18363.1016

    Merged with new MSMG Toolkit 10.3

    Added: Show info in Source Menu when you have already selected your source.

    Merged with new Toolkit 10.2


    Some improvments:

    When you selected any option to remove all components and decided to return by answering "no" for some reason. You would always return to the Main Menu. In the Custom Toolkit when you answer "no" you are returned to the menu you were in.

    In previous Custom Toolkits I couldn't see a way to maintain the Original "Apply Tweaks Menu" without increasing the code size.

    But thanks to the changes that @MSMG made in the new version, it opened my eyes and I managed to put both menus. The original "Apply Tweaks Menu" back and the "Custom Apply Tweaks Menu".

    The problem was that when deciding to apply a tweak individually, fall into the system of applying all tweaks by answering questions. But now this is fixed.

    There was an error with an extra quote in the Edge removal lines, for some Custom Removal to make Specific Editions. First I thought about correcting it just by removing the extra quote. But I changed my mind and simply put it to remove the Edge directly on the command line to remove multiple components at once.

    I decided to make some changes mainly in the "Gamer Edition" (more components removed that can be added through the Windows Store), so I made changes in the other "Custom Editions" as well. But not in the "Accessibility Edition".

    I put some pauses in the custom integration steps "Integrate Custom Selection 8 7 6 5" so that you can see what happens.

    Fixed a registry error in my custom tweaks and added suggestions for use in the Windows Store, automatic installations in silent mode disabled. Autodownload - Update for installed apps enabled

    Code:
    ...
           if "%Component%" equ "PrivacyComponents" (
               %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" AssignedAccess;CEIP_SQM;FaceRecognition;KernelDebugging;LocationService;PicturePassword;PinEnrollment;UnifiedTelemetryClient;WiFiNetworkManager;WindowsInsiderHub
               if "%ImageBuild%" equ "17763" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" WindowsErrorReporting
               if "%ImageBuild%" geq "18362" if "%ImageBuild%" leq "18363" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" WindowsErrorReporting
               if "%ImageBuild%" equ "19041" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" WindowsErrorReporting
               if "%ImageBuild%" equ "19042" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%\%%i" WindowsErrorReporting
           )
    )else(
           if "%Component%" equ "PrivacyComponents" (
               %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%" AssignedAccess;CEIP_SQM;FaceRecognition;KernelDebugging;LocationService;PicturePassword;PinEnrollment;UnifiedTelemetryClient;WiFiNetworkManager;WindowsInsiderHub
               if "%ImageBuild%" equ "17763" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%" WindowsErrorReporting
               if "%ImageBuild%" geq "18362" if "%ImageBuild%" leq "18363" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%" WindowsErrorReporting
               if "%ImageBuild%" equ "19041" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%" WindowsErrorReporting
               if "%ImageBuild%" equ "19042" %ToolKitHelper% "%InstallMount%" WindowsErrorReporting
           )
    )
    

    Windows Error Reporting is needed for OOBE for v1903 / v1909 OS.
    This component has been reinserted and will pass again, according to specific conditions, to be automatically removed by the "Editions Custom Selection Removal Script" options available in CustomToolkit. Conditions prevent removal on versions v1903 / v1909.

    Only for:
    Remove All Privacy Components
    Accessibility Edition
    Lite Edition
    Xtreme Lite Edition
    Content Delivery Manager is needed for OOBE for v1809 / v1903 / v1909 / v2004 / v20H2 OS.
    For this Component, if you want, just access the "Remove System Components Menu" to remove "Content Delivery Manager".

    I also made available a model of my AutoUnattend *.xml answer file with a ReadMe for those who want to play a little.

    Reported a problem in the question "Do you want to Enable Fraunhofer MP3 Professional Codec ? ['Y'es/'N'o] :" mentioned in the post "https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-796#post-1607819" by friend @roedel.

    Problem solved.

    As @MSMG said:
    Content Delivery Manager is needed for OOBE for v1809 / v1903 / v1909 / v2004 / v20H2 OS.
    Windows Error Reporting is needed for OOBE for v1903 / v1909 OS.

    These components will no longer be automatically removed by the "Editions Custom Selection Removal Script" options available in CustomToolkit.

    If you want, just access the "Remove Privacy Components Menu" to remove "Windows Error Reporting" and "Remove System Components Menu" to remove "Content Delivery Manager".

    When I have an idea to edit the code I add commented lines as if they were reminders or a list of what to do.
    So, I removed some obsolete lines left behind.

    Also, I created a way to use the customized version and the original version of the Toolkit, without having to replace the original files.

    When you run Start.cmd, the Original Toolkit.cmd starts.
    When you run CustomStart.cmd, the CustomToolkit.cmd starts.

    In this file I also placed the original files, for those who had previously replaced them.

    Fixed the bug in the question about choosing the StorageDrive, when you answer "No". I kept asking for the letter and did not go to the Main Menu.

    Correcting the problem of saving the iso that I had set for my drive "I:", I decided to add an option to keep it as is or set another one (Optional for those who need to save their isos on some larger drive). Very simple. There is a moment when opening the toolkit that asks you to check <ENTER>. Well select Y or N. "N" will keep the ISO folder where it has always been - inside the Toolkit folder. Than select your drive.

    Fix Cortana App was not removed in 2004 H1 (only in the custom removal options I made available).

    In that apply tweaks menu by answering questions system, I added a question to the end to apply the integration of your Registry (*.reg) files.

    Removed some "pause" commands from the end of some processes in the Menus (Integrate Windows Features Menu - Integrate Windows Custom Features Menu - Remove Menu (when we select some of the Remove All Components) - Customize Menu) and replaced them with a question "Do you want to continue in that menu?"

    The part with menu options with custom component removal scripts has been retained.

    A huge change has made to apply Tweaks by answering Y (yes) or N (no) questions.

    The focus is on Menu 4 -> 2 and feel free to test.
    @mhussain , the part I promised is ready.
    follow 4, 2, A for Accessibility Edition
    at the end of the first part, you will be asked if you want to keep the Mixed Reality Pack, then ask if you want to keep the components for game functionality.
    just select Y or N.
    Back, in my menu is with the letter Q.

    In the initial menu, Exit, I also changed to the letter Q.

    Apply Custom Tweaks Menu is added. My Custom Tweaks List Available to Apply.

    Thnks!
     
  2. You have always been a Champ. Thanks a lot for your Custom Toolkit. its working like a charm awesome.

    Thankful, but as it is not a competition, so I'm not a champ of anything either.
    This is just a contribution.

    If it weren't for the leadership of @MSMG and the names that help it here and there, we wouldn't have this excellent tool.
    It works because all the original features are present and basically the modifications are just additions to the official script, right?
    If I were to do it from scratch, maybe it wouldn't come out good, hehehehe.

    So, since all the changes implemented, as already mentioned, were made with direct learning from the Toolkit code, a little prior knowledge and the tips from MSMG and many other forum members (like you, too).
    Everyone certainly has credit.

    At the moment I am looking at your script... I have already learned some details... You are to be congratulated for the creativity, too.

    Maybe you can implement the creation of the other SKUs, in your script, from the creation of the pro index. Thus, as is done in the download through the UUP DUMP with the scripts of @abbodi1406, more precisely, there is a configuration file "ConvertConfig.ini" that contains some preconfigs and also, the information of which index will be created virtually after the generation of the : "HOME index" and "PRO index" from the download. Then, the file "create_virtual_editions.cmd" is called, which creates the indexes already inserted in the configuration file that may or may not be based on both base editions "HOME" and "PRO".

    Note: Both @abbodi1406 and @MSMG have already warned me that the complexity is great. But maybe you have some idea that makes it easier.

    I am grateful for the compliment!
    Big hug!

    The operation completed successfully.
    
    DISM recognizes, too.

    I don't think it interferes with anything, but I don't know how to fix it.

    Hi guys, I need your help. My Windows 10 modification with the Enterprise or Professional version 19H2 and 20H1 all fail after the installation with the reboot and a blue screen.
    It makes me crazy.

    I never had any problems with the 1903 version. In the meantime I have tried the tool on 3 different computers with different Windows versions (1903, 1909, 2004) and the modified ISO are broken everywhere. My assumption is that the ISO is not compiled correctly.

    Can you give me a tip?

    Sorry, since nobody answered, I guess you have to give some more info.
    Explain the steps you took, components removed or added, and if you searched the logs for possible errors?
    Did you use the recommended versions of the ISO's? What Toolkit version did you use?

    Cheers.

    I'm not suppose to comment on the matter coz I don't know your source of ISO. And how you do it?! But let me remind you, everytime you make download from any other source, ask first hashes for that is your bases to check the ISO you have downloaded. by comparing the hashes of your downloaded ISO and the source ISO.

    I always took the provided ESD files from Microsoft and converted them to ISO. I am now trying to do it with a direct ISO from Microsoft. Thanks for the tip with the hashes.

    I think managers in the company for which I work, Crédit Agricole, want to adapt this tool as an official method for performing updates.

    We can look at things from different angles.

    This may mean that offline machines, or which have higher security requirements are too dangerous and expensive to maintain with the methods officially offered by M$.
    They simply do not fit anything, as well as the OS as a whole. This is a fact today. M$ went with their spy machine into the maze of absurdity so deep.
    This is a bell, that ringing to us the days of M$ goes to EOL (End Of Life).

    Having worked for a large bank myself, i can tell that no IT worker there ever will allow chopped windows to be installed, not even for the coffee lady at the loo, considering the future problems that will appear.

    With the ridiculously high loan rates at your bank, they should be easily able to have a well functioning/maintaned IT department.

    I understand, of course. I mean MSMG Toolkit was potentially chosen as an acceptable instrument to solve the problems with Windows distro.
    I didn't mean whether M$ products are suited conception for the big business, this is another story.

    The Municipalities of Germany changed their whole infrastructure several times to/from Windows <-> Linux
    So, it's never too late to get better.
