Why not asking in the appropriate and dedicated MSMG ToolKit thread? ps, it removes the non selected indexes.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG 2021-04-01 Today I needed an iso with ei.cfg and realized that in the ISOs that I prepared yesterday the file is missing. Added the scheme to copy generic "ei.cfg" file for multiple indexes or write ei.cfg for only image with only one index, when saving changes. If you want to install another edition on a notebook with Product Key in the BIOS, this file is required. Otherwise, a multi edition ISO will only present the option related to the Product Key of that BIOS. Also added an option to create a file with a list of the choices you made. It is easier than copying the list that appears on the screen.

Fixed Custom Toolkit typos: in the :StartIntegration session that was skipping Integrate Custom Features; in Select EdgeChromium to remove, for ImageBuild Greater than 19041. EdgeChromium display conditions, removed. It is now displayed in the Menu for any Build. If the Edge Chromuim is not present or the removal method has to be updated, at most that familiar message will appear: "This component has already been removed." Optimization of boot.wim and WinRE.wim has been implemented, regardless of whether they are mounted or not, whenever we save our work they will be optimized. Improved :WIMExport session code. Code: [1] Just Create a New [Install.wim] [2] Create a New [Install.wim] and replace the previous one. [3] Add selected Image Indexes to the same [Install.wim] Note: The chosen ones will be added after the already exists Image Indexes Enter your choice : Before I didn't have the option to replace it, I needed it today, then I put it there. 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!
Looking for an offline method, an offline method that is better than this one: Code: (1).SystemApps: (KEEP): Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost Microsoft.Windows.OOBENetworkCaptivePortal Microsoft.Windows.OOBENetworkConnectionFlow Microsoft.Windows.Search Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost windows.immersivecontrolpanel Powershell -Command "Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\mount\Windows\SystemApps' | Out-GridView -PassThru -Title 'Select SystemApps to Remove' | Remove-Item -Force -Confirm:$False" Reg Load HKLM\S C:\mount\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE Powershell -Command "Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\S\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Config' | Out-GridView -PassThru -Title 'Select Config to Remove' | Remove-Item -Force -Confirm:$False" Powershell -Command "Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\S\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\InboxApplications' | Out-GridView -PassThru -Title 'Select InboxApplications to Remove' | Remove-Item -Force -Confirm:$False" Reg Unload HKLM\S Because this command Code: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\mount /offwindir=C:\mount\windows returns removed item to C:\mount\Windows\SystemApps.
I m sorry but i don t know any offline method. The only way i know and i use is an online method (live os). If you re interested in, let me know and this week end, i will make a video tutorial for you on how to use pstool etc... to remove the non removable component. If you don t care and prefer an offline method, i can suggest you to wait the Msmg master work as he said he will include your missing components to the toolkit tool in the next releases. Let me know. Have a good night
"do you want to trim unselected image editions" - I selected yes here, is it fine? or did I make a mistake? what does that option mean?
for example, your image have home and pro edition, then you mount the pro edition. if you selected yes, the home edition will be removed. sorry for my bad English, hope this can help you.
Is there more info available about the components I'm trying to remove using the MSMG Toolkit? For example, what is Device Lockdown, Ease of Access Themes etc. so I can read and determine if I'll need the feature/component in the future or is it safe to remove? Using Google for every possible component is cumbersome. Edit: Also, should I worry about some dependencies while removing Windows apps and components?
For ease of access themes and device lockdown, if you don t use them you can remove them. Make some search on google about every components you want to remove and you will find the description. You can note in one of my previous post on this page that i ve removed them without any problem after install. Don t worry. (https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-949#post-1652870). On my use of the os all my package list i ve posted for removal is safe. The only question you need to ask yourself is :have i need it for my use?
I've read somewhere for example. if you remove Windows Media Player, you can't play cutscenes in Red Dead Redemption 2 or so, and if you remove Internet Explorer, you can't use DirectX Installer. Is this true about dependencies?

I didn t remove internet explorer with msmg toolkit because as you said, there is a conflict with directx. I ve integrated directx 9.0c with msmg toolkit and after installing the os, i went on facultative fonctions to uninstall internet explorer. After that i install the directx software that install all the updates. Everything works great. For wmp, i ve removed it with msmg toolkit because i use vlc and all work great too. I play to red dead redemption without any issue.
