    Before Save Source you can copy the "Logs" and "CBS" folders to some safe place.

    I do not know if there is removal of some component or range of components that break Windows Update operation.

    Did you check the new link on the official page?

    MSMG posted warm, brand new things there.

    I think these should be the latest versions.

    I may be wrong. But that are new files are. I already compared sizes and hashs.

    For those having problems regarding LTSC 2021 WU . Pl be sure dosvc service is enabled & not removed by any of there tweak.
    Plus all other services which are dependencies of wu ie cryptsvc , bits , wuaserv etc etc many many other services too required for full final WU working on your machine.

    For Those who worry for there privacy WU doesnt matter for them as they know how they can deal with WU in many other ways.

    [ Either Let M$ Drive you & installed M$ OS on your machine as Well or else Let Make Yourself That much strong Enough to Let M$ know that You can drive there OS very well & there no any mean of any type of interference by M$ on your Machine]

    Decide yourself & be concrete for final conclusion.

    It is true. I had to try to download a few times. I do the downloads, always in zip packet creation mode.
    But I just had to download the files that did not extract from the corrupted zip.

    Hi @inTerActionVRI

    So I figured out what the problem was, MSMG doesn't like it when there are spaces in the path. When I renamed the directory from "MSMG Toolkit_v12.0" to "MSMG", everything started working properly.

    So put the MSMG folder in C: to be a shortened path too.

    Did you actually extract the ISO into the DVD folder?
    The ISO folder is an output folder, not for your source.
    Read the readme.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for your feedback.
    And back to initial question, do the removed components return after updates?

    I've just started looking upgrading to Windows 11 and notice there are quite a few new packages available to remove. Does anyone have a description of what these packages are for?

    SimpleTCPIPServices
    ManualSetup
    ProjFS
    ClientWebExperience
    RemoteRegistry

    Hi friend great work :) reducing ISO size is not difficult what is difficult is maintaining compatibility with Windows Update and inplace upgrade.

    So I ask, have you removed Winre.wim, "manual setup" (files on ISO needed for inplace upgrade), WinSxS\Backup and .NET cache (\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_*)? With your ISO is it possible to use Windows Update? Just curiosity :D

    I'm deleting all that stuff. However, it is possible to use Windows Update (installing updates for MS Office, .NET, drivers).
    Whether it is possible to install Cumulative Updates in this case is another question... ;) But it also doesn't make any sense once the components are removed.
    (And inplace upgrade doesn't interest me at all)

    I also don't mind inplace upgrade, too time consuming for my taste. If it's going to be a long process then I'd rather do a clean install.

    But I was curious how he got the 2.3 GB. Whether keeping these files or not.

    About Windows Update I asked because there are tools that can greatly reduce the size of the ISO but break Windows Update. But I don't care about Windows Update either :p It's just a matter of curiosity.
