Is the new build supposed to be significantly slower? On a very fast system component removal seems to be 4 times slower than in the past.

I just checked and removing a component tales 1:55.

EDIT:

I went back a version and no removals take :30 so there certainly a major difference here.

 

@MSMG:
I'm happy to report that ltsc 1809 x64 Spanish image is flawless. It's a perfect run with defender and smartscreen removed, resetbase an NO errors at all.
It's an enormous effort you put into this project to resolve the most obscure issues, I can't thank you enough.

I'll repeat the procedure on a x86 image today and will report back if any issues arise.

Cheers.

Edit: The x86 ltsc 1809 Spanish image is also flawless, no issues at all.
There is indeed a delay when removing components with the toolkit helper method, but that doesn't bother me.
You've done it again, really a marvelous job.

Usually I am not confused by the request for a key, since it is not difficult to select "I do not have a key" to continue with the installation. But now I also used the ei.cfg option that Enthousiast suggested.

Thanks everyone, friends! Together we are strong!

Thanks for the tip, MSMG. I'll try with 19042.610 RU-RU ISO and share the test result.

 

Can we still remove all the required components individually or is the Package list method the only one working right now in 10.7?

 

I've just finished my first test which is to install Windows 10 1809 over Windows 10 1809 but with defender included in the second image.

Spoiler: Observations

• The first time the system is booted the Windows Defender Antivirus service is at manual. Setting it to automatic fixes the problem
• If the DisableAntiSpyware registry entry is found the Antivirus settings page says "settings are managed by your organization"
• The Windows Security option on the lest side of the Updates and Security page in the settings app is not added.
  
• The program files folders still only total 31mb. I'm obviously missing something.
• The only entry points for Windows Security is via the tray icon or in settings app, system, about.
  
• I can't turn off smartscreen setting (Flashes up that it's disabled then reset to 'block'. I want it off. Perhaps I can disable it by GP or registry.

This was done on a fresh install with no user programs, tweaks or data. I'll now restore all that to a fresh image without defender and try the upgrade again. I suspect many of the tweaks, services and tasks will be reset... but we'll see

 

It's no big deal, really.
If the delay from the code protector secures your work, then I'm happy to use it as-is.
Anyway, the whole image build process from start to finish takes some time, so one minute more is not something to bitch about.

Cheers.

 

Version 10.7, very long processing. Now the second component on a weak laptop has been spinning for 20 minutes.
