No You can't stop the components getting returned when updating the system, now with Windows 11 it has been become more complex. Only way is to patch the update package and update the system but it's very difficult.
I haven't checked the IoT, if it doesn't contain the Teams or Chat then it will shed the light on it's removal.

There's no need for that. I believe you. I hope that my information is at least a little useful for you.
@MSMG In windows x64, while integrating Default Inbox Apps, only x64 dependency apps (VCLibs, UI.Xaml and NET.Framework) are being installed, x86 dependency apps are getting missed, although they are present in the folder.
For x64 apps x64 runtimes appx are enough. These are the default runtimes appx present in untouched x64 image Code: Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2_2.2.28604.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.4_2.42007.9001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.29231.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.29231.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Does MSMG ToolKit v11.8 work perfectly with windows 11 italy ? takes everything away ? also the defender ? can updates be made ? I'm sorry if I ask here, but I don't know the English language very well and even with the translator I can't understand the explanations very well, but can you please answer my questions ?
Yes it works with multi-language ISO's and removes all the components specified in the menu or here including defender too. Yes you can update but the only issue is updating the system will restore most of the components except the Windows Apps.
@MSMG Thank you for letting me know. I shall check later this evening for updated Win32Calc files and new ToolKithelper and shall test with 19043.1288.
In win11 ru-RU image with removed and re-integrated Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe the Calculator app doesn't start up. So it's not because of VCLibs x86, it's because of language resources missing?
Make sure if you have added the necessary Calculator dependency appx. The latest Calculator app for Windows 11 is Code: Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_11.2109.9.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx The dependency appx are Code: <Dependencies> <TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Universal" MinVersion="10.0.22000.0" MaxVersionTested="10.0.22000.0"/> <PackageDependency Name="Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.6" MinVersion="2.62108.18004.0" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US"/> <PackageDependency Name="Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2" MinVersion="2.2.27912.0" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US"/> <PackageDependency Name="Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2" MinVersion="2.2.28604.0" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US"/> <PackageDependency Name="Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00" MinVersion="14.0.30035.0" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US"/> </Dependencies>
Question: someone who doesn't like all the Windows 10 glamour, apps that look as if designed for touch screen tablets, wants only bare bones OS, to be able to search from start menu bar and only receive installed apps or shortcuts to specific windows settings, and to use BitLocker with no hardware TPM, only password, still make system auto change wallpaper from given directory every xy minutes, play HEVC videos with gpu hw acceleration on installed by me player and codecs, install and use google chrome, atom NOT vscode, and WSL2, and play DirectX 11 games f.i. Civilization V might consider installing Windows IoT Enterprise or Windows Enterprise for Virtual Desktops as main daily driver operating system?
A beautiful reason to adopt the InPlace upgrade with images already prepared (customized), disable windows update and a great reason to keep the Manual Setup Component.
