    Does repairing Windows image with clean image(without removing components) will reinstall fuctions(like Windows Store) that I removed with toolkit ?

    @MSMG I removed everything except for Windows Defender on the 10.0.19042 image version (from MCT) and I got this. Is there anything else in specific that I need to avoid removing in addition to AADBrokerPlugin?

    I'm still getting sfc errors, here is my procedure:
    Used Win10 installation media creation tool to make 20H2 iso
    Converted to Wim format
    Select source > dvd folder > Win10 Pro, mount both
    Remove using RemovePkgsList.txt (3 > 3 > Y > 2)
    Unpin all Start menu icons (4 > 6)
    Stop 3rd Party Apps (4 > 8 > D)
    Integrate Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (2 > 3 > A)
    Apply changes to image (don't clean) (5 > 2 > N)
    Make ISO (6 > 1)

    My removepakgslist is attached. Any ideas what is preventing it coming up clean?

    Apply changes to image (5 > 2 > Y)

    Rebuild (5 > 1)

    Currently this part should be described like this, :D:D:D
    Apply and Save changes to image. Then, Optimize (Auto Rebuild) image (5 > 2 > Y)

    You're right - updated my method in the above post and have the removed the below:
    • Apply SSU and CU updates (2 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 4)
    • Apply setup media update (2 > 4 > 2 > 2)
    • Rebuild (5 > 1)

    Windows Apps are not updated through CU, only Windows Store and Xbox back-end files will be updated but not the App.

    Rest of the components it shouldn't restore, you can try it.

    DirectX9 and Dart may increase the size by 360 MB, what's the size difference you are getting.

    That's the only one related to Microsoft Account, for testing you can skip the Privacy and Remoting component removal and see if it has anything to do with your problem.

    You need specify the CU included with the image?

    Both MCT/Store ESD images have been sysprep by Microsoft due to which the SFC will show up ghost error.

    Running the SFC for second time it comes clean.

    Skip the PowerShell7 pack and tryout since it was updated recently.

    Will try with your removal list and report back.

    The Toolkit doesn't allow you do the clean if pending.xml is present then how you are getting the error?

    Source image used ESD/ISO ? If used 19041.1 + updates then did you skipped integrating Edge Chromium?

    I can't use cleanup since 19042, but in 19041 everything was fine. This is probably due to the new EdgeChromium.

    Yes the Edge Chromium package added through the enablement package will trigger the pending.xml and the cleanup is not allowed.

    Although the Toolkit allows to remove the Edge Chromium package but it won't remove the entire pending.xml file as only the entries related to Edge Chromium are removed.

    The question is using a 19042 with Edge Chromium and then with or without removing the Edge Chromium with Toolkit should allow the cleanup image operation as with both the conditions the pending.xml is still present. But in your case it is entering the cleanup process then gives the error.

    Will check what's causing it to allow the cleanup process though it shouldn't have.

    Is it possible to clean through CMD?
    Dism /Image:C:\Toolkit\Mount\Install\1 /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
