MSMG Toolkit

Post by Executioner »

Any geeks here tried to use this tool on Windows 10?

MSMG Toolkit allows you to rip out all the bloatware by the roots before they can take hold - from the installation files. Trying to remove it post installation of the regular ISO (Cortana, Edge, Store, Xbox Game bullshit, the default cellphone apps and games) involves HOURS of registry and power shell surgery, and they can still sneak back in after a forced update.

There is a tutorial:

Here is the procedure:

Hmm. I'll have to try that sometime. My concern is that some really aggressive tools like this break things. Might work fine until an update and then things go haywire.

I have a procedure for "sanitizing" Win10, and it's really not all that tedious. Just installing Classic Shell negates Cortana for instance, and Spybot Anti-Beacon kills all the phone home crap.
