It won't ask, you need to copy custom Start Menu Layout settings to w10_CustomStartMenuLayout.xml an then use 4->[6] Import Custom StartMenu Layout from XML File, it will import from it.
When you remove the parent component you need to also remove the dependent components. Tested full component removal with 19042.572 and the 19042.610 CU is not getting installed, will checkout what's the cause.
Since the instructions for W17-W10 1803, W10 v1809, W10 v1909, W10 v20H2 varies, I just kept the instruction to be simple. Will add the necessary info the readme.txt
when a component is removed, the system passes the sfc /scannow check, but no updates are installed. Let me know what the reason is.
Well, If I can't imagine that I need it, I do not going search... Until @MSMG gave me a tip. Regular users of live OS (not ISO-makers) know about SSU, CU, .NET updates, but nothing about SetupMedia & WinPE updates and why they are critical. I think, explanations should be in plain sight (README, 1-st post, etc.)
So if I have not misunderstood, you mean that it is better not to clean the image? why is it better to avoid the procedure ? [5] Apply> [1] Cleanup Source Images Thank you
Performing Image Cleanup will cleanup up the Windows Component Store (WinSxS folder) and removes/compresses superseded files there by reduces the size of the overall image. The MS needs to fix it the issue with CU, Tookit has nothing to do with it.
Divide and conquer. Try first 250 tweaks, if it works, try the other 250. If it doesn't, try 125 of the first 250 etc.
Yes, I know. The tweaks are services, registry and tasks. Could be a service, which is where I will start, but the problem comes when there are multiple tweaks causing issues. Finding the exact combination is what takes time.
Good morning. In the meantime, an interim procedure had occurred to me. 1- carry out the procedure with Toolkit. 2- Install in administrative mode on a virtual machine. 3- Check for corrupt files and correct them. 4- perform SysPrep and ImageX procedure, using GImageX to capture WIm files and then create ISO. Could it go as an interim procedure? Thanks
If it's just ghost error you can do it offline, no need to install and do a Sysprep. Perform Image Cleanup from Toolkit Run the SFC command offline Code: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=<Mount\Install\1> /offwindir=<Mount\Install\1\Windows>
Indeed. Restored fresh non-defender edition, upgraded to version with Defender installed then applied all the same tweaks after. Works fine. I just can't install over an already tweaked system until I find out which tweak is killing it. I have also found that if Smartscreen is not installed I cannot change (turn off) the smartscreen settings in Defender. It is stuck on block. I don't want to block, I want to disable the features, so it looks like I have to have Smartscreen installed as well.
