Test. Now integrated .572 with the cleanup of the image. I put the command sfc /scannow, gives an error, I will look at the log so that there are no restored files. Then install the updates .630 12:07 Ghost error, no recovered files(sfc.jpg). Testing further installation of updates. 13:00 so installed it over the top .572 update .630.The update has been installed.

Use the latest 10.8 + the yesterday's uploaded ToolKitHelper.exe. Copy the ToolKitHelper.exe to Toolkit's Bin folder and overwrite the existing one. W10 1809/1903/1909/2004/20H2 All languages are supported.
nice one. feature updates shoud be excluded from win updater to after installation right? only allow comulative
Feature updates will install totally new build and you will lose the customization done. Allow Cumulative Update to install only for v1809/LTSC build. Other builds will restore the removed components.
Feature updates means 1809,1903,2004 Yes Cumulative update will restore the removed components except Windows Apps for 1903 and above OS and this is due to change in MS update package format.
thanks. then we shoud allow only security updates from windows? whats best update config after mstoolkit
after some non feature updates i see defender is installed again. can this avoided by allowing only security updates?
Yes, after rebuilding the image, its size is at 5,52GB. Probelm is, the 5 indexes itself just increase by about 100MB per index (uncompressed size), the compressed boot.wim by 38MB but the final compressed image is 2,5GB bigger. Also did that with Toolkit 10.4 (same windows image, same settings) and there the image just increased by 370MB (from 3,75GB to 4,12GB) . I now added DaRT to the boot image and edited the install.wim in NTLite. Result is: The whole iso image just increased by 400MB. So I think it has something to do with Toolkit 10.8
The uncompressed size of DirectX 9.0c is around 274 MB and Visual C++ is around 168 MB The Toolkit uses the standard latest DISM to service the image and that includes exporting, you can check if the rebuild has done properly or not by opening the wim image with 7-zip and if you see any [DELETE] folder then the rebuild is not done. I don't know whether the NTLite uses DISM API or the WimLib-ImageX API to optimize the final image and did you choose any image cleanup in it to reduce the size. Just now finished creating a W10 19042.661 Pro image using standard DISM commands and the final size after rebuilding is 5.0.9 GB The Dart pack takes up some space since it contains debug symbols folder.
Since I deleted the increased image, I'll do it again to see if there went something wrong. I'm not worried about the DaRT pack, only integrated it to the boot image. Will see what happens in about an hour.
Has anyone done the following yet? Step 1: Build an image with Defender removed and install. Step 2: Merge a reg file that adds and then disables all Defender components + sets all policy restrictions on Defender. Step 3: Set permission on all of these keys to deny modification. Step 4: Attempt to install a CU. If I get some free time I might try this out. Probably a 1/3 chance of this actually working, 1/3 chance of this breaking updates and 1/3 chance of windows simply running your changes over and installing Defender anyway,
