Windows 10: MSMG ToolKit

Hi Guys, what do we think about this program ? I discory him in forum my digital life.. is a hack ?

:)

 

driver toolkit

I have downloaded and installed DriverToolkit. Knowing that this program could pose a threat, I never used it and I decided to uninstall it from the Control Panel "Programs and Features." After doing so, the entry for DriverToolkit was deleted from the
"Programs and Features" list. However, the DriverToolkit icon is still on the task bar. If I click on the icon, the DriverToolkit starts up as if it were never removed from my system.

Using Windows Explorer, I found a folder "Local Disk (C): Program Files (x86)/DriverToolkit." This folder contains the following:

SUBFOLDER: Backup (empty)

SUBFOLDER: Download (empty)

DriverToolkit.exe

msvcp100.dll

msvcr100.dll

network.dll

zlibwapi.dll

So, I have two questions:

1. After uninstalling DriverToolkit from the Control Panel "Programs and Features," the DriverToolkit was eliminated from the list of programs. So why is this program still on my computer?

2. How should I go about permanently removing DriverToolkit from my computer? Should I delete the folder "Local Disk (C): Program Files (x86)/DriverToolkit"?

That and similar 'driver finder' programs are a waste of time and possibly harmful. The most they can do is to detect when a newer version of a driver has been released - but just because a newer version has been released doesn't mean that you should install
it. Drivers don't work that way.

Drivers are updated to fix identified problems that are described in the release notes. If your hardware isn't affected by one of those problems and you install the driver anyway, you could end up causing harm to your computer now and in the future.

Whether or not to update a driver is a decision that only you can make, based on your research.

 

Seeing as that site is dedicated to pirating Windows. my guess is even if it's a legit Microsoft utility, its not being used as it was intended. What is it you want to do with it?

 

hi friend actually nothing , it was just a question, and I was glad you told me , I do not like piracy

 

I googled it but didn't find any links to Microsoft. Just stuff on MDL and it advised to sign in to view so that was that. I'm not joining that web site. It might be a legitimate Microsoft tool, all depends on what MSMG actually stands for?

 

i believe that this program remove apps and others programs from windows 10 installation and late it is create a .ISO.

 

In that case its likely fine to use. There are tools for creating custom deployment images. MDOP for example. I've used it so I could create DaRT media. Companies don't want Apps like Candy Crush installed on company PC's.

 

MSMG is just the forum name of the person that created that program. It's a great piece of software to modify the Windows ISO and remove various components as well as integrate updates drivers language packs and more and works very well. I used it to prepare both TH1 and TH2 before installing and my Win 10 pro is without any issues. It has nothing to do with pirating windows regardless of what else in on the MDL forum and they do have many other softwares written by members which also have nothing to do with pirating Windows

 

So many such tools.. would love to have clarity on how they are similar and different..


MSMG
DISM
WICD / SIM/ MDT - + Maybe use WDS for distribute?
AutoUnattend.xml Answers
Etc.


To slim & trim the size, the install & boot speeds, and "minimize interaction" & physical presence requirements.


I'm still curious as to out what MSMG does in comparison to WICD/ SIM/ MDT.
Downloaded all, reading, learning


PS: Is there some legit HCL / Upgrade Assistant thing runs on older machines and checks for issues?
Especially driver issues since I am just Installing/ running OS on the side.
