    Yes. Now I have only just these app -
    "Microsoft.AccountsControl",
    "Microsoft.AsyncTextService",
    "Microsoft.CredDialogHost",
    "Microsoft.Windows.AppResolverUX",
    "Microsoft.Windows.CapturePicker",
    "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS",
    "Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost",
    "Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost",
    "Microsoft.Windows.Search",
    "Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost",
    "MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS",
    "windows.immersivecontrolpanel",
    "Windows.PrintDialog"

    I integrate with W10UI - and DISM shows a mistake.
    Without removing applications from SystemApps - DISM does not show errors.
    Integrates all updates.

    Which I still need to keep, in order to Dism not showing mistakes?

    Hello. It is happening to me that after creating a different administrator account and disabling the default administrator account after restarting, it tries to enter the administrator account that is low. What do you think it could be due to?
    Thank you.

    Sorry I don't know because I haven't experienced disabling the default Administrator account

    Are you using "disable_telemetry.cmd" or "server-to-workstation.cmd" or both?

    I just tested now "server-to-workstation.cmd" in a built-in Administrator account
    and a regular User account using "run_as_trustedinstaller.cmd"
    and they both completed without errors

    Step 4 Run the "export-image.cmd" batch script to export your target image / index?

    @Freddo19 which version of windows server are you running? And which antivirus and other software or drivers that may impact performance?

    I'll assume you meant @freddie-o :)
    My primary OS is Enterprise S 19044 and I dual boot between Server 2022 and Windows 11 22621 (for variety)
    I like Symantec Endpoint Protection it's "perfect" for my needs
    I download my drivers from Microsoft Update Catalog. They work on Windows 10, 11 and Server
    (Almost) all my software are portable

    What is the rationale behind completely purging Windows Defender while running a 3rd party antivirus/firewall solution? At installation of the 3d part a/v, will that not simply disable Windows Defender?

    Regarding a/v, I purchased Kaspersky because I really liked it, but now I don't want to use. In terms of impact on system performance, Bitdefender should be a good candidate - and it is available as a free product. However, I guess if something is free, then you're the product... Can you elaborate why you find Symantec Endpoint protection a good fit for your needs? Why not just go with a free option such as Bitdefender?
