Just to clarify, if i remove WD i can not keep W.Store? Spyshelter free does not work as it should when removing W.firewall, is there a way around this?
This has always been so. But now it is a little more error-proof. It makes it easy for you not to make the mistakes that are proven to cause problems. Before you removed something and did not know why another feature had problems in its operation, if you were not aware of the situation. Now if you remove it, then you can see in the menu list that something that will no longer work will be removed. So, if you want to keep some functionality, it replaces your prerequisites, before you start the removal. About getting around that. It must be possible. But there is still no solution.
Yes If parent component is removed then it's child will also be removed. Removing Defender will remove Windows Store too. Need to check the dependency for SpyShelter.
Was it was working in previous version? if yes then the current version uses the same component removal version used in the previous version, there's no change to it.
Found the issue, just remove the below line in bold text in the script :: Function to Integrate Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset ^(DaRT^) 7.0/8.1/10 setlocal set Dart=
Has anyone ever dealt with "Error 2 System cannot find the file specified." at 100% in a DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth? This error occurs after the scan completes. RestoreHealth stops at 83 or 87% with the same message. I haven't been able to generate an image with a positive result when I add various components, I've spent many hours generating, deleting new builds one at a time... still not sure. I noticed something other than .net 3.5 is adding pending flag. Every time I saw this flag when 3.5 was not toggled resulted in a broken image.With LTSC 2019 17763.1637 So I am not sure. I will keep you posted, but have been trying for 4 days. Fortunately DART tools pass the test when integrated into everything, so that can be marked off the list. Will continue working my way down and testing installs. (This happens even without removal of components, btw.)
Happy New Year! This year has been tense. And, hopefully, the next one will be much better for all of us!
Yes this year has been not only tense, it has been boring as f*ck. Even here where normally the establishment doesn't bother. On topic: I remove defender and smartscreen but the store works just fine. I also disable windows update, but the few store apps I leave in the image get updated just fine after deployment. There are no issues, except when my internet provider decides to proxy ms update resources. America Movil aka Telmex, worst internet provider ever. Cheers and a happy new year.
Just wanted to check something. I have Windows 10 1809 Enterprise LTSC x64 images built with the toolkit. I manage updates via WSUS I've just noticed I have not been offered December updates, as 1809 hit EOL on November 12 2020. Is Windows 10 2019 LTSC the same as Windows 10 1809 LTSC. They are both v17763, right? Did I customize the wrong ISO?
How did you accomplish this? I need Store working for WMR portal to work (I believe Store is a dependency even though MSMG doesn't auto-enable Store when selecting WMR), but I don't want Defender and Smart Screen. If I select only SmartScreen and Defender for removal, Store gets automatically removed by the script.
I removed everything that was available through the interface. There were so many things, it would be nigh on impossible to specify.
