    And still it was always the thing that differentiated MSMG toolkit from other hard cut chopping tools, to still try to have an integer install.

    Yes, some really know how to walk on glowing coals. :) The question is how far you can go on it.

    yes i totally agree, the user needs to have a good idea before leaving, simply removing any component and then complaining hmm this is not working properly! it's just a matter of reasoning and as i already said a good notion of how the operating system works ... i'm sure of this because that's how i learned (and i still learn every time i use the MSMG Toolkit) it wasn't easy today in one day I can say that the systems modified by me never had a blue screen or anything like that but I know that there is still a long way to go to achieve this dreamed of perfection if only my two cents is possible ;)

    The first threshold of entry into the world of custom builds (LIVE or ISO) - is to forget about sfc /scannow
    And do not use any auto-diagnosys (disable it completely, incl. services, schedules, etc.)

    yes i believe we still have a long way to go and i say more by the floor of the carriage (M$FT) everything changes every 6 months just see the 20H2 version how many changes and more I think it is practically impossible for a user to keep up with this pace that will get crazy or paranoid lol; in this way as I said the other day it is more rational to stay with W8.1 until 2023 and as an alternative to use the W10 LTSC at least for now ...;):D

    Thanks for checking Activity History with vanilla image, do check if it needs net connectivity to show the page.

    Will release a test version once the fix is complete for v1809/1903-9/2004-9 left-over entries, do tryout and let me know the result.

    First you need to use the 19042.508 + the required CU supported by Toolkit component remover to use component removal.

    Do try with next release and see if it works properly.

    I've finished my first draft of the script to re-integrate Windows Defender. It is a first draft so it is far from perfect. I welcome any feedback.

    Now all I need is (hopefully)...

    Before removing any component do check if it depends on other components.

    [20] Smart Screen | Depends on: Windows Defender

    [32] Windows Store | Depends on: Smart Screen

    To set the Settings->Apps->Apps and features->Choose where to get apps from, you need SmartScreen and the SmartScreen is partly controlled by Windows Defender

    Yes one or the other day people need to update to current version especially if you are having newer AMD Ryzen systems to support CPU scheduling and for some softwares that are being optimized for latest OS.

    You can try using other tools to install Adobe products which won't use the Default Adobe Installer.

    The Toolkit removal program directly adds or removes the registry entries which are done indirectly by the GPO.

    When a component like Edge, Defender is removed then it's corresponding GPO files are also removed.

    No I'm applying only the know registry tweaks which the GPO files do indirectly set.

    Left-over entries means the files in the WinSxS folder and the entries in COMPONENTS registry hive.

    Thank you very much sir. So far I was unaware of that. Could you please guide me on how to install adobe products by using other installers. Sorry if I am asking something unrelated to this thread. It will be very helpful to me if you can give the URL which guides me on that.

    Again thank you so much.
