    Stay off the net, there are way's that no one can see who you are or even see your PC. There are people who have hacked into Gov, but you won't hear it when they were never caught and don't want people to know it happens. Like they're going to tell media our missiles silo's were hacked, but we don't know who and can't find them. LMAO

    The Government, FBI and NSA also asked to be given SSL keys from providers, because they don't need them. LOL

    Or why have they asked companies for their encryption keys if they can unencrypt everything.

    There's a difference when you go outside, and some is the idea of being watched by a OS that you buy, ignore that it was free.

    @betatest you could remove edge and install Google Chrome then instead to Microsoft chrome would send browsing history etc to Google. Choose whatever you like

    Hi there

    Here you go the packages to remove EDGE

    x86
    dism /image:{your mount directory} /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-US~10.0.10240.16384
    dism /image:{your mount directory} /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~10.0.10240.16384

    x64
    dism /image:{your mount directory} /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.10240.16384
    dism /image:{your mount directory} /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10240.16384

    Already tested theres no side effects for me removing EDGE
    I'm using Firefox for my browser
    And yes Firefox also sends and call home to their server
    But you also have a choice to block the unwanted Firefox connections if you wish to

    Removing things from WIM is prior to install, right? How to remove it after installation?

    Yes, that is the best way IMHO
    I already tried remove that packages after installation (online) but I saw theres some 'artefacts' that makes your start menu and desktop looks ugly (me myself hate that 'cosmetic' side effects)
    But if you remove it Offline from wim your start menu will completely clean and hot :biggrin:

    To remove it Online you can use install_wim_tweak.exe for the fastest way
    But if you want to do it manually you must first take own the packages reg first or you can use setacls

    CMD run as admin
    install_wim_tweak /o /c Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.10240.16384 /r
    install_wim_tweak /o /c Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10240.16384 /r

    Don't forget to re-hide the remain packages after you delete the packages you want
    install_wim_tweak.exe /h /o /l
