My computer does meet the requirements so it shouldn't be an issue but I did add the workaround I used for 22000.675 and I get this error. Wouldn't installing 22621.1 without removing system components reinstall the bloatware?
Other than Windows Apps all other components do get restored partially of fully when its updated, I just asked to skip removing system components to know if any component is breaking the windows setup. Now since your PC won't meet the requirements for Windows 11 and you used the workaround used for Windows 11 22000.675 for Windows 11 22621.1 and still it gives the error then there might be new conditions added by MS to check for unsupported PC's. You can check if it's the fault of Toolkit or not by adding the just the workaround to 22621.1 image and try the setup to see if it passes that error stage. You can also check Win 11 Boot And Upgrade FiX KiT v2.2 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/win-11-boot-and-upgrade-fix-kit.83724/
Will both of the updated Toolkit files work okay with 19044.1706 (Win 10) and 22000.675 (Win 11) images? Or should I continue to use the Toolkit.cmd dated 23/04/2022 and Toolkit.exe dated 21/05/2022 (v1.1.108.0) with these images? I don't like to create Out-of-band or Preview Build images and always try to use the latest stable version released on Patch Tuesdays.
I removed several apps, but there was an App called Family, does anyone know how to remove this app on win11 build 22621.1 ??
I removed several apps, but there was an App called LiveCaptions and VoiceAccess, does anyone know how to remove this app on win11 build 22621.1 ??
In this listing, the apps do not appear LiveCaptions, VoiceAccess and Family, is the ToolKitHelper.exe out of date? The ToolKitHelper.exe I have is from 31/05/2022 !!!

Tried MSMG with the most minimalist settings only wanted to remove Defender and few other apps.. I found the 'fail' on the cumulative updates only, other updates went smoothly. I also did not clean the image to mess with anything, followed most guides as well and using 12.2. LTSC 2021 Error was 0x800f0984. After testing each app removed it happens to all of them.
I had already uploaded ToolKitHelper with support for 19044.1706 and 22000.675 but someone here asked for the preview CU due to serious issues with 19044.1706 and 22000.675, I updated the ToolKitHelper to support the previews. The packs are almost ready will upload the ToolKit with support for 17763.2928, 18363.2274, 19044.1706 and 22000.675.
It's been fixed now, download the latest version of ToolKitHelper.exe from download link. Just post once, people will respond, The Live Captions, VoiceAccess are new components which needs to added for removal. There's no Family App inside official Windows 11 22H2 ISO, did you used UUP dump to generate the image? Do specify the full package name of the Family App.
Fresh image LTSC 2021 19044.1288, was using the latest msmg toolkit to remove some features like defender and smartscreen and made the iso. Ran the iso and tried windows update both .net updates went smoothly but KB5014023 (19044.1737) CU failed with 0x800f0984, even left defender in and did it 1 by 1 still happens. (Followed Cypercputech + other guides )
Sorry, I think I should have made my concerns clearer. Sometimes you only recommend to use the latest ToolKitHelper with the latest builds and not earlier builds. So although your ToolKitHelper supports OOB 19042.1708, I wondered if it was also safe to use it with the stable 19042.1706? From your answer I assume it is safe to use with 19042.1706, but just confirming.
