It depends on what you remove, what you implement and what tweaks you apply. And even so, there is always something up MS has up its sleeve, well buried in its software to get some data from us, hehehehe. Never think that there is a tool that can eliminate 100% of telemetry. But certainly this tool is constantly being updated, so that within what is possible to be removed and disabled, without losing functionality, it is available. And yet there may be new things that we don't know about yet. It is always this way.
The MS makes Windows versions for all editions but making the edition available is there choice, now with recent CU adding Edge Legacy and Edge Chromium to even LTSC images I have made the Edge Legacy removal for LTSC images too. OneDrive and SecureAssessmentBrowser won't be present if the LTSC editions are available for 1836x builds.
Yes, this is just one of the possible parts that can be worked on. In your daily use you will realize if you will lose some useful functionality for you. Then just make another ISO, keeping the removed feature. And, this is how you develop your customization. I used to make the most Lite ISO possible, totally privacy oriented. And, in the end, I have linux and windows dual boot, I open my distro and do my shopping. kkkkk
I think I understand. That is, this is not the case, since there is no LTSC for 1836x. Is that correct?
We do not share ISOs. The tool is for you to create your own. The staff has shared some very long removal lists here. However, everyone has their own preferences. The Presets "Looks Like Windows 7", "Lite" and "Xtreme Lite" available at CustomToolkit are the closest to what I used to do (which were much more feature-breaking, heheheh). Through there you can make your list and use it whenever you need it through list removal. You select a Preset and then go to the selection menu and read what has been marked with the - sign (for removal). Check or uncheck what you want, but read the Notes that appear if there are any restrictions. Then you decide what stays and what goes to limbo. Check the option "Create a File List <...> with your Choices". You can select "Start Removing Windows Components" and the list will be created, and return to the Menu to make changes. I will leave you with a list of what I consider important components to keep in an iso made for people you don't know. This way, the system will not let you down with Work and gaming. There are some components that are possible to remove for people with more computer skills (GetHelp, Getstarted, etc...). But what I mean is that beyond this list you can remove everything. Many people remove much more than that. I don't recommend it.

@inTerActionVRI, hello friend! EnterpriseS (SN) = Ent LTSC = "17763" (v1809) and "19044" (v21H2) Disabling the Notification Center in Windows 11 using the old tweak for Windows 10 Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] "DisableNotificationCenter"=dword:00000001 violates these functions. Only when using StartAllBack (enabling the classic win10 taskbar), you can safely disable the Notification Center in this way. As well as enable seconds for the tray clock: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ShowSecondsInSystemClock"=dword:00000001
@MSMG, hello! 1. Why does not the integration of CU (KB5011493) into the base image of Windows 11 (22000.1) using the WHD method? Files used: 22000.1.210604-1628.CO_RELEASE_CLIENTIOTENTERPRISE_OEMRET_X64FRE_RU-RU.ISO (uupdump.net) SSU-22000.469-x64.cab Windows10.0-KB5011493-x64.cab Windows10.0-KB5011493-x64.psf Error Message: "Creating WHD General Updates Temporary folder... Extracting .CAB Package files to Temporary folder... A file with that name already exists or was not found." I still managed to integrate KB5011493 using the Updates method, having previously converted psf + cab files into a combined Windows10.0-KB5011493-x64-full_psfx.cab using PSFX_Repack 6. Using the WHD method to integrate the combined Windows10.0-KB5011493-x64-full_psfx.cab (even with the conversion to a simpler name -> Windows10.0-KB5011493-x64.cab) is also impossible. _______________________ 2. In the template RemovePkgsList_W11_10.0.22000.txt now there is no SettingSync component. Maybe I forgot something or overlooked something... Is this how it should be?
Hey guys, I found some problems breaking the Custom Toolkit code, in the changes made to Disable and Enable Features. I am fixing these details. If you didn't have problems, OK! But if you need to use these Customizations, please wait a little while and I'll come back today or tomorrow with a fix. Thanks for your attention! EDIT: the problem was caused by the Warning about "Cleanup Source Images" that MSMG said I should add. And, that I hadn't even put yet, in the version I published, hehehehe.
This answer solved my previous question. Thanks for the answer and confirmation. It would have been very interesting if that answer from you had come about 2 days ago! It would have saved me a lot of testing time. But this time was not totally lost, because I developed a method to test more quickly these problems derived from registry tweaks. And, your answer came with some nice additions. But I haven't done Start Menu replacement since Windows 8.0.
@MSMG, I found it more interesting to add the warning within the :CleanupSources session, I think it is simpler and correctly positioned, in the code. I modified this today. But since it doesn't interfere with function, I'll post this change just in case some CustomToolkit fix is needed. It can be placed this way, in the Toolkit.
