WebDriver is required for Developer Mode pack to work. The registry key specified in that article might be helpful as deleting it allows your to use both the browser side by side
No, the article says that if you delete this, it will disrupt the Side-by-side operation. "Important This key is over-written every time the Microsoft Edge Stable channel is updated. As a best practice, we recommend that you don’t delete this key to allow users to access both versions of Microsoft Edge." I think that the Edge Chromium is deleted and this key is removed, causes the problem of Edge Legacy to stop working.
@MSMG Please update NET5 pack to version 5.0.11 (W10 and W11) and Visual C++ Redist pack to version 14.30.30704.0.
I been away for few years. So would like to know. We can't still update windows becauseit will reinstall removed stuff.??? If it is it means it will never be able to removed stuff and update windows.. My other question is.. W11. Is it faster than w10.? In games in operations overall.? Last question what if you meet the requirements but not CPU.? What would happen if you decide to use w11.?
@MSMG Is there a list/wiki/doc anywhere of what the removable components are/their removal consequences? Most of them are verbose enough to be intuitive, but a few I've no idea and googling seems to not help. AsyncTextService - ?? CapturePicker - part of the snipping feature? CallingShellApp - call app? does removal affect voip calls like through teams? SecureAssessmentBrowser - something to take virtual tests or something? SkypeORTC - since skype is dead, is this just left over for skype itself, or framework/lib for all calls? again, would teams calls be affected? Am trying to comment out RemovePkgsList like: Code: #camera barcode scanner preview? CBSPreview #eye control app? ECApp #Your Phone app? CommunicationsApps so future me doesn't have to re-search what some of them are. Thanks!
And btw - is the correct order to remove components - get newest feature build from uupdump, "update" it via msmg and begin? Or are those LCU meant for premiere releases, contain everything in one pack?
- It must depend of the update, but I've never seen an application update, it's more about security. - Not for the moment but the difference is really minimal. - You won't get the updates without doing anything.
22000.xxx updates don't check for the minimum requirements, so once 22000.xxx is installed by a fixed ISO on unsupported hardware the updates will be offered without the need to do anything. What MSFT meant with "no updates on unsupported hardware" was about the feature updates aka upgrades to new major releases.
Perhaps then there is a difference between IoT Enterprise and Enterprise editions. If you want to see this for yourself, then create and use the same image that I did using the information provided by myself.
Right now there's no such doc to explain the removable components details, will be adding one soon. Also will be adding support for adding comments to package list. If you check the ToolKitHelper.exe <MountDir> /? command, you will get the info about each component.

I don't have idea about WSL but now Microsoft has started moving WSL from being in-built component to as Store App so that the WSL can be updated through Windows Store directly.
