Removing (sensibly) any packages (incl. hidden and System Apps) is the most wanted function for me since long ago. At the very least, for LTSC.
Due to a Front-End / Back-End splitting I have a question (LTSC). 1) Let's say I want to keep only WindowsStoreClient ( System App | Back-end ) to have a Store in semi-functional condition (ability to install Apps using PowerShell or install UHD drivers) 2) I don't need Xbox at all. Is it reasonable for me to remove Xbox completely, incl. XboxClient ( System App | Back-end ) ? And keep WindowsStoreClient ?
It's a MSI file embedded into a cab file, you can't integrate it, may be a custom pack can be created for it.
Microsoft has been combining or merging packages deep into other packages make it difficult to remove them with standard method. By default, In LTSC there are only Windows Store and Xbox back-end clients, yes you can remove Xbox back-end client. The reason for splitting Store and Xbox into back-end and front-end was to make it easier to make a LTSC like build from normal editions.
Hello! I built the Windows 10 version : 21H1_19043. 899. I would like to ask : will the MSMG Toolkit v. 11. 4 support integration of components (calculator, DaRT, DirectX 9c and others)? Thanks.
For Integration there's no restriction for CU version, only for removal the Toolkit requires the CU version specified in the changelog.
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-793#post-1606110 Sent an 2021-03-16 updated file in the link above. Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-03-16 Merged with Toolkit 11.3 and 11.4. *Some Custom Toolkit Tweaks and Remove Menu minor fixes and code improvement. Returned to the Toolkit standard aspect Ratio. In this way, all the menus that require more space to show the menus on the screen, have been divided into more screens. just press B to Back and N to Next. This, just to avoid the use of scrolling with each choice made in the menu, which you are working on. Get ImageBuild from updated Image system, implemented to correct the error in the automated making ISO label and file name. All the environment and path variables for the packs were concentrated in some sessions, at the beginning of the custom toolkit. This way it is easier to reset the variables at each integration performed. Also so that the multiple choice system facilitates the multiple integration of features sequentially. Multiple choice has been implemented within the integrate menu, for all features that are submenus. In other words, if it is a sub menu, a negative sign will appear as a default. If it is to integrate this signal it will become positive. To apply the integration you must go back to the "Integrate Menu" and choose "Start Integration". In the options without signaling, integration will occur as soon as you select. These are the submenus mentioned: IntLanguagePacksMenu (tested) IntDriversMenu IntInboxAppsMenu IntRSATMenu IntOfficeUWPAppsMenu IntDaRTMenu (tested) IntThinPCpkgsMenu IntGamesMenu (tested) IntCustomFeaturesMenu (tested) Note: As I said earlier in the post below, these changes were made in order to implement the multiple choice system in the menus but there may be variables that do not get the values set and end up breaking something. We always think that we thought of all the possibilities until we found something new to be corrected or improved. As I said before, I can't test everything here for lack of storage space. Then, for final images of daily use, make integrations with the Official Toolkit. Removal, Customizations, Tweaks, can be done with Custom, if you want. So, it is necessary that this part be tested by volunteers. I am grateful for the feedbacks. Thnks!
I want to thankyou all for help so far! I got the image made up finally! I tried burning it to a flashdrive as a bootable device using Rufus, and upon checking it on VirtualBox, however, it just loads into a solid blue screen. Is there anything that could relate to an option I selected in the image? In the folder where MSMG Toolkit is, in the ISO folder, there are still the initial *.swm files as well as the *.wim file. Is there anything there that would botch an image burn? Either in MSMG Toolkit in making the ISO? Or did I not even need Rufus and THAT botched it?
Could someone please help me create lists to remove everything from 1803 (17134.2087) x86 but leave Edge browser and Store (only free apps, no need for pay functionality) What's the oldest still supported Windows 10? Regular home/pro, not LTS. Is it 18h1?
the issue is after removing components they will be back when you update win du to update mechanism i guess msmg will develope a fix soo i am not sure if same issue when allowing security update only. anyone tested it?
Guys, i just tried to remove Windows components with the 11.4 versions of the toolkit on the latest Windows build 20H2 (Downloaded the iso through Media Creation Tool) but it doesnt work. When i select the components to the remove and i press the key nothing happens. Any idea on how to solve this? Edit: I was scrolling the thread and i saw that i have to select the components first and then go back and use "start deleting components" so nevermind.
Currently Only 1809 and above are supported for manual component removal, you can try using the package list method using DISM templates. Even for 1809 Home/Pro Editions the MS has ended the support for it and doesn't allow to integrate or install updates to it, though for pro edition you can integrate the update offline but Home edition is not supported.
Only adding LCU will restore the removed components expect Windows Apps. Now with recent LCU even Edge Chromium is installed.
hey all, @MSMG maybe? a question, I know this sounds odd, but what would happen if I were to perform a inplace upgrade of my current not msmged iso using a msmged iso? that is to say, I installed winblows 10 using a ms iso from software-download.microsoft.com, and I deside to perform a upgrade/replace upgrade using a iso that was tweaked using msmg toolkit would all my apps that I installed remain? Majid
note, the msmg windows 10 iso is the same build, just with every blote removed. was thinking because of the narrator issue, that wen all apps are removed narrator getts borked and I have nvda installed on this install. allready
