@Tiger-1 Also I have read somewhere that you can't simply switch the languages without further negative consequences. To have some built-in apps working properly you also need to reinstall a certain part of apps. Defender is a good example. Or you will get artifacts in the UI / Start menu or smth. even more disgusting. (Probably depends on how different switched languages are)
@Tiger-1 I'm too, my friend. Interesting language contest. I couldn't imagine that languages have affect on boot speed.
I can confirm that people, which using 2-3 languages, expecting a big troubles with ugly mixed interface / names and have some artifacts. When they use at least 2 languages for UI + switch to another one, plus have different Regional standards and 3 or more languages in Language bar to write, then Windows becomes a mixed nightmare. I'm also using 3 languages in the Language bar, using one russian UI and have other Location & Regional standards. BUT I never switch to other UI language globally after installation, that's why I never expect mixed / broken / artifact interface or smth. like this. In our multi-national digital world any respectable OS should do this job just flawlessly, on the fly, I think.
hmm going forward I will only use the English version en-US so I will avoid unknown problems so far regardless of whether I made use of the MSMG Toolkit or not...
Apart from Language Interface Pack and Language Pack, you may also need to add Local Experience Pack which updates the UWP system apps language resources part of Windows 10.
So, after installing all these packages did Windows defender and all it's addons/adjunct/other components work properly for you? I've tried 3 approaches. Yours, @MSMG's and even installed all 44 packages one by one, each time on a clean system. I have 4 services, none of which will start (Corrupt digital signatures, missing files, unsubscribed errors), and tasks that fail. There are some group policy entries, but they seem incomplete to me. There is no UI in the settings APP, but that probably the SecUI systemapp that @MSMG was talking about
@Yanta Just my 2 cents. May be easier (more reliable) way is to do so: - Make a full backup of your system (just in case) - Prepare exactly the same ISO edition (1809), but with Defender+SmartScreen included (not removed). May be (I'm not sure) integrate rescent updates also : people say W10UI utility is the most reliable. - Reinstall over live system - Reapply your security / ptrivacy settings, GPO, tweaks, etc. (AutoSettingsPS is great for massive applying tweaks. You can even backup your GPO settings with it) - Recheck installed programs, if they are still OK. To be honest, I don't welcome such methods, but in your situation it may appear acceptable.
I was beginning to feel that was going to have to be an option. I'm not a fan either. I have seen so many people totally brick their systems doing in place upgrades. I'm not really pressed for time, so I'm going to hang out for an alternative, but I can certainly test your suggestion on a spare pc. I wasn't planning on adding smartscreen. I thought smartscreen was dependent on defender, not the other way around. Lol, I was just thinking about it; In over 30 years of installing Windows I have never installed a copy of Windows over the top of an existing copy....
I'm too NEVER. Yes. Thar's why I said I don't welcome such method. But it can appear workable also. They are both depend on each other. SmartScreen have many other relationships in the system. For example, w/o SmartScreen you won't be able to install apps using standard methods, but only using PowerShell. And my 100% advise is returning MS AV in a complete way (Defender+SmartScreen). Then you can play with disabling SmartScreen there and there. Over GPO it works like a charm. So, your system files will appear healthy and COMPLETE. Spoiler: Additional Notes Also, if you decide to use AutoSettingsPS, don't hurry up too much: - Read the readme - Feel free to use [1] Configs-Checks -> [3] Check all parameters - this is only CHECK (nothing unexpected will happen) - Prepare "Presets.txt" that is suitable FOR YOU. Remember: almost everything you want will come from your "Presets.txt" - Do not use "quick presets" until you understand everything the rest (this is for pretty advanced users / later usage: "set and forget" option).
in MSMG toolkit there is an option to integrate Directx 9c and VCRuntime now the question i wanted to ask is like this if i integrated these 2 do i still need to install directx and all vc runtimes(2010,2013 etc..) or they are integrated and i don't need to install them again to play the games that require them to be installed and everything will run normally ? Thanks in advance
@LiuBang integrating them you don't need to install again. But VC runtime receives updates very often and the packs take time to be updated so it is better to integrate only DirectX and install VC runtime after installing Windows. Visual C++ Redistributable AIO Repack
