    New update works so far with 19042.630. Before it would fail to completely mount all .wim files. Gonna update this post as I continue working on removing things. Also I can confirm that freaking Windows Security is being a PITA as I hadn't noticed that it had been brought back via updates.

    Here is the error I got.

    I've used a couple ESD. But that ESD there was the one from MS. But all had the same issue. SO nothing is really wrong? everything is fine?

    @MSMG, That suggestion: For Trimm Unwanted Image Indexes, it is very interesting because it allows the indexes to be in the order you selected earlier. I sent you PMs.

    Hey, have a question. I'm using Toolkit 10.8 to integrate DirectX, VCRuntimes & DaRT.

    I start with a 1909 image that has 5 indexes and a size of 3768MB (added editions using NTLite)
    When the toolkit has finished its work, the image increases in size by 2,5GB (6265MB)

    What can I do to reduce the size of the wim image?

    So the problem is with the removing the Solitaire App and not after removing it.

    This occurs only when the Toolkit folder path length is too long or have spaces and when the Toolkit.cmd is directly run instead of Start.cmd

    Will test with your Package list to see if any other reason the Solitaire is not getting removed properly.

    I have just recreated the Pack for Toolkit, the original author is @abbodi1406, you can check his VC runtime pack executable here and open the installer with 7-zip and extract the 2021 installer folder and get the details of the files included.

    Then mount the VC Pack provided in Toolkit to a folder and then only keep the files or folders noted earlier and then delete the rest of the things and unmount the image with committing the changes.

    Then use the new wim and the VC2012 registry file to integrate it to install.wim

    Here the multi-index mounting, servicing and un-mounting is working properly. Waht error are you getting while mounting it.

    The Solitaire Collection App removal error this occurs only when the Toolkit folder path length is too long or have spaces and when the Toolkit.cmd is directly run instead of Start.cmd

    Give you source details will check it.

    Removed components except Windows Apps will be restored once the system updated with WU or manual updates installation, this applies to only W10 v1903 and above versions.

    Adding packs or updates will increase the size and did you run the [5]->[1] Rebuild Source Images to reduce the overall image size.

    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.

    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.
