Is the solitaire collection bug related to a specific version (windows build and therefor affecting the removal process of all windows builds) or will that be handled regardless in 10.9?
I keep getting errors with sfc/scannow on fresh test install with 20h2 and toolkit 10.8. The only thing I am doing is removing some apps. Is there something I am missing?
You can simply the tasks like this To delete unnecessary entry 1) Tools [7] -> WIM Manager -> Delete To service ISO I performed the following steps: a) Select Source Image from DVD folder [1] b) Integrate [2] -> Windows Features [3] -> Integrate DirectX 9.0 [P] c) Remove [3] -> Windows Components Using Package List [2] d) Customize [4] -> Apply Tweaks [8] Disable Cortana App [A] Hide Taskbar Task view Icon (B) Disable Automatic driver updates through windows updates [C] Disable Automatic downloading and installing of 3rd party apps [D] Disable Windows Defender [E] Disable Automatic Windows Smartscreen [F] Disable Automatic Windows Upgrade [G] Disable Windows Update [H] Enable windows photo viewer [K] e) APPLY [5] -> Cleanup the Source Image [1] g) Integrate [2] a.

With 19041/19042 CU there is a bug with image cleanup which will break the SFC. With Toolkit 10.8 the Edge Chromium removal is breaking the Updates installation.
This is what I am removing. And I am not doing an image cleanup.

Okay you are using Remove Windows Apps using Apps List method, may I know the steps you are doing to create the image.
Here's it's getting removed properly, Are you following the steps provided in readme.txt ? Make sure you not running AV while using the Toolkit or any other programs interfering with the Toolkit. Can you post the screenshot of the error for further debugging.
Ok I have tested the fix for Edge Chromium removal from 19042.572 Microsoft downloaded ESD Image and it's working as expected. But there will be ghost SFC errors which is the fault of ESD image as well as the CU. Initially thought of running the usual Edge Chromium uninstall command through registry on first boot but it doesn't work may be due to UAC. So captured the uninstall process and removed the Edge Chromium manually and it works.
Here is log 1 >>>> 1 - Select source from DVD 3>>> remove with apps list 5>> Apply changes 7>>> Wim manager, convert wim 6>>>Create dvd ISO
May be implement recently updated install_wim_tweak capabilities for Edge removal and potentially some other non-standard tasks? (E.g. for System Apps, one day in the future... when you're feeling better. I hope so and wish you all the best). Just a guess....
Ok everything is fine, did you used the download ESD image as the source? If yes then the ESD image has SFC bug.
I don't use the install_wim_tweak for ToolkitHelper, it uses the same DISM method to remove packages but with pkgmgr.exe The below one is for Edge Classic. install_wim_tweak.exe /o /c Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package /r I have already made the manual fix for Edge Chromium removal with ESD Images and it's working. Thanks for the wishes.
Thank you @MSMG . I see the only difference between your method and my method is step 2 and step C. So step 2 and step C of my method not necessary any more ? And also with this : en_windows_10_business_editions_version_1909_updated_oct_2020_x64_dvd_3cfd51ef.iso I used toolkit v10.8 and i performed my method (except the enablefeaturelist.txt). I lost the search function in file explorer and the search became dummy where in i am not able to enter anything in the search box. Is the toolkit incompatible with the above ISO ?. Thank you sir.
Known Issues: - Windows 10 v1909 - Removing Cortana breaks Start Menu, Taskbar, Settings App and Explorer Search Functionality. Did you removed Cortana through Package List?
