Is there a safe way to remove them now? About two updates ago, the tools that we have such as the Toggle-Tweaker-master have become obsolete. Does anyone have a confirmed way to deal with these two problem programs?
why not just ignore them? i gave up with removing components, now i just remove all permissions from the executables so they never load.
Can I use my Pro key for this? Any downsides to using this? How do you go about removing permissions from everything?
No, you would need to activate using one of the KMS activators No downsides if you want rid of the app crap and bloat that comes with Pro No apps, no edge, no cortana, no store etc
I think you need to buy a bunch of them at once (volume licensing), so it should be quite expensive. Dunno if you can buy a single MAK key for it. And yes, it will get security updates just like any other Windows 10 distribution, just no new features within the regular updates. Every few years there will be a refreshed ISO with (maybe) new added features. If I'm not wrong, the next one is planned for 2019. Edit: I'm running LTSB since it was released, never faced any compability problems or something like that. If you prefer a clean more Windows 7 like system, you should definitely give it a try. Edit2: If LTSB isn't clean enough for you, you can remove much non needed stuff with tools like the MSMG Toolkit. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/
