    .630 has no major changes with removed components, only one component which needed a change has been fixed and needs no further change with newer CU.

    Fixed the issue with .572 image which broke updates installation.

    Fixing the issue with removing installed Edge Chromium in ESD image.

    The cleanup issue and ghost SFC error is a Microsoft thing, hope the MS fixes it soon.

    @MSMG Kindly do let me know if I have serviced the ISO in correct order especially the step in point H. Please also do let me know if I have missed any step.
    Thank you.

    ISO used:
    en_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_74865958.iso

    MSMG version 10.8

    To delete unnecessary entry

    1) Tools [7] -> WIM Manager -> Delete

    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]

    f) APPLY [5] -> Cleanup the Source Image [1]

    g) Integrate [2]

    a. [3] -> Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Feature [A]
    b. [3] -> Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Feature (B)

    h) Customize [4] -> Enable Windows Features using Features List [1]

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
