    Is there an easy way to remove Defender and Edge from any given Windows install media?
    For instance on Windows 10 LTSC 2021 - update it to latest version available and remove Microsoft Edge and Windows Defender. The same with Windows 11 22H2 22621. I suppose it'd be similar?

    Thanks in advance!

    but if you insist ......

    Disable Telemetry in Windows 10 Enterprise / Education / LTSC / Server (Offline)

    * Updated 10-06-2022
    * Tested on Windows 10 19044/5 (LTSC) and Server 2022

    * The script disables Windows Defender, Windows Firewall & Windows Update and removes Microsoft Edge (You will need an alternate 3rd party Internet Security, Internet Browser and know how to manually update your OS)
    * The script disables Indexing and Search telemetry (This disables Windows Search in Windows Server. You will need an alternate 3rd party Search tool)
    * The script removes Microsoft Store and Apps (All ProvisionedAppxPackages)
    * The script removes "Diagtrack" & "dmwappushsrvice" Services and "CloudExperienceHost" SystemApp & Scheduled task which will prevent you from entering OOBE and thus not be able to complete Windows setup (An "unattend.xml" is included / needed to bypass OOBE and boot into the built-in Administrator account)
