Thabks for the mirror but no need on win 10 to use those win 11 22H2 rufus options at all, specially not on (IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC).
From what I can see it gives a few options in the latest Rufus version to skip privacy options, create an offline user, skip automatic bitlocker and set region same as current system. None of the options mention disabling telemetry but here's old reliable group policy registry key script that disables telemetry data collection. Telemetry-Disable-Enable.cmd: Code: @echo off title Disable/Enable Windows Telemetry color 1f :Begin UAC check and Auto-Elevate Permissions :------------------------------------- REM --> Check for permissions >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system" REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin. if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' ( echo: echo Requesting Administrative Privileges... echo Press YES in UAC Prompt to Continue echo: goto UACPrompt ) else ( goto gotAdmin ) :UACPrompt echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" exit /B :gotAdmin if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ) pushd "%CD%" CD /D "%~dp0" :-------------------------------------- :Check the key: (reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v "AllowTelemetry"|find /i "0x0")>NUL 2>NUL if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 GOTO :KEYOFF :KEYON echo ============================================================ echo Windows Telemetry currently disabled. echo Would you like to re-enable it?

This is similar to work that I have done, but I note that you are not listing OOBE: windows10.0-kb5020683-x64_119695f48aa3f28a5f68a3dff367957ef8b0f576.msu Is this no longer needed?
@ohenry: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...h1-22h2-vb_release.80763/page-16#post-1571109 It's 100% uptodate.
It seems there are 4 updates integrated into the LTSC 21H2 ISO. 2 are security so I want them but 2 are regular updates; KB5003791, KB5004331 As I am only going to install security (and maybe some critical) updates, am I ok to remove these?
KB5003791 is 21H2 KB5004331 is .NET update, it's not very security, but still important you cannot uninstall the 1st, and should not uninstall the 2nd
To update the ISO without NDP481, it looks like the following are now needed as of 28-Jun-2023: defender-dism-x64.cab windows10.0-kb5007401-x64_f1bf61d834bb8d9951c7efa23454643daae195b0.cab windows10.0-kb5023847-x64_0d515544d250e8d35de07eb37cf84c06284a04aa.cab windows10.0-kb5027122-x64-ndp48_b4a399e994cdaa75c9b9bd3771b8670c89e5f17b.msu windows10.0-kb5027293-x64_8afd36694e06cee0165f126deff8ba08088d8e5e.msu windows10.0-kb5027389-x64_8d1880d95f920fc8a4c2d96ca8d3b44f3e044581.cab windows10.0-kb5028579-x64-ndp48_145c2592b00edc66c31d5e3032822cc36e3b2848.msu

In which scenarios are these OOBE updates good, i have windows ltsc 2021. My next update will be win 11 ltsc in 2024. Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Update NDP35-48 OOB Updates NDP35-481 OOB Updates
Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) update != Out Of Band (OOB) update you don't need OOBE update for LTSC but you need (or can install) .NET OOB updates
Remember the world is analogue. There are many variations even on how and why you install LTSx. First: LTSC has better policies, and even if you install all the crap bundled in Home/Pro it's still better. Second: appx can be installed w/o the store (and a MS account) Third: late W10 and W11 aren't W8 or LTSB 2015, where you can remove every appx and still have a 100% functional system, let alone what will happen in the future. Fourth OEMs are slowly but constantly migrating specific utilities (say to control the battery behavior) to appx, so you have to deal with some appx anyway.... Fifth some appx are just subs for normal w32 apps, even Linux nowadays is an appx, albeit obviously has next to nothing to do with either apps or win32 programs I can continue, but you got the point
With LTSC you use an older build of Windows. Is any theoretical advantages really going to be that great if you're going to use store apps anyway? Why not just use the latest Pro version and change a couple of settings?
Older of what? As long as updates are released, it's a 30 days old build in the worst case. Yeah, tell me which setting should I use to get support for 5/10 years on Pro
