Since there are no changes between 19044.1645 and 19044.1679 wrt to components removed by Toolkit, version v12.2 component removal also works for 19044.1679 Preview CU.
@MSMG What about adding in the future tool update a removal option for Character Map and entire Hyper-V? Is it possible or are they hard tied to the system, so their removal may cause instability and other issues? Some other less significant or more complicated to remove components as: - Additional Desktop & Lock Screen Background Images and Themes (Excluding Default) - Windows Update Service & Windows Update Page in Settings App (Keeping component required for system activation) Feature to block host names of Windows Update, Microsoft Store, Microsoft Telemetry, Crypto Mining by adding entries 0.0.0.0 to "hosts" file and sets it Read-only. Feature that will allow the user to create their own autounattend.xml file within tool (menu with options) and generate it to "DVD" folder. (Skipping EULA, Activation, Language, Time Format, Keyboard Layout, etc.) Also Windows PowerShell ISE, Print Management, Windows Fax and Scan, Math Input Panel, OneSync could be added to "Remove Windows Components" menu, so people didn't need to use DISM RemovePkgsList manual method for their removal.

@n3ro97 And BitLocker (at least) to the same place, it's high time. To Hyper-V add also Containers, etc... I could ask for a lot more to be added to the list of things to be deleted. By the way, some of these Server Components and System Apps have recently been added to the list of components to be removed for ToolkitHelper. For Win 11, I additionally tested the removal of some more packages. @MSMG understands everything, there just isn't enough time for everything. Additional components require additional time for testing and support. Thank him for his great work. We appreciate it very much.

@MSMG, I would like to clarify, what will the removal of the Accessibility Tools component affect? Will this completely remove the entire Accessibility section in the Preferences? The question is related to the fact that I, for example, remove the following components: Magnifier Narrator OnScreenKeyboard EaseOfAccessCursors EaseOfAccessThemes but there are still many different things there, among which there are some settings that are useful to me, such as Text Size, Visual Effects. Sound, etc...
Congratulations on the automation created in "CustomToolkit" v12.1 Do you already have "CustomToolkit v12.2" ?? If you have, update here for all of us. Thanks ========================================================================================
@bala1, Provavelmente amanhã! Não é uma Promessa! Probably tomorrow! It's not a promise! Added Image Format option to SaveSource as WIM or ESD in the CustomToolkit ApplyMenu. You can choose to save as WIM or ESD before selecting Savesource.
This was added way back when the ESD format was introduced with the Windows 8.1 and even I might have forgotten why this temporary index was needed, It's a just a dummy index 1 created for creating the proper WIM Image which gets removed at the last process. May be with latest DISM version this may not be required will test with exporting the indexes without the dummy index.
These components can be added for removal BitLocker Character Map Webcam Experience Additional Desktop & Lock Screen Background Images and Themes (Excluding Default) Windows PowerShell ISE, Print Management, Windows Fax and Scan, Math Input Panel, OneSync Hyper-V is required for many components it takes time to identify the dependent components, will be adding it in future versions. Will explore the option to add HOSTS block and Autounattend entries.
Accessibility Tools is the Ease Of Access required for people with disability issues, removing this component will remove the below features. Set High Contrast Ease of Access button on the login screen Ease of Access Dialog Windows Assistive Technology Manager Ease of Access Control Panel Ease of Access Experiences Screen Reader Helper Screen Reader Helper Punctuation
