    I just updated the LTSC 2021 19022.1288, just to compare the size after implementing the update.
    There was a 43MB reduction in install.wim size.

    But for non -LTSC, you can create an ISO, UUPDump, without adding updates and adding updates by Toolkit or already with the desired updates added as long as they are supported by Toolkit and customize your ISO.


    Disable Windows Update
    I always create an iso and already personalized I do the Inplace Update.

    If you had made any changes to FOD or if using an autounattend.xml and your installation language locale is a sub-language like en-IN then the CU will be re-offered.

    I have been observing this for several years now, working with win 10-11 images, after integrating any CU into an offline image, followed by cleaning the image with the /ResetBase parameter.
    Therefore, in this case I share my observations. I am also interested in this question.
    Let's wait for @MSMG's response.

    After installing the system and checking for updates using WinUpdate MiniTool (for updating drivers, NET updates, etc...), I just hide such an update, and do not worry about it, because I know that it does not need to be reinstalled. This tool allows you to hide unnecessary updates.

    Yes and no. Yes, you're using a link that's hosting the previous version of the toolkit. No, it's not 12.27, it's 12.2(DOT)7z, a.k.a the file extension is 7z.
    @Muggaen literally just downloaded everything I need through the msmgtoolkit.in website.

    I really wanted to see what that Windows Mail removal looks like but you get stuck at the menu and can't exit, because items moved by one and X is now the last menu item (select all) and getting back isn't assigned. I remember having the same issue when trying to edit the toolkit myself to add new entries. Didn't really bothered to figure out how you did the loop.
    Also "Multimedia" only opens for a second and then immediately closes.
    The image I'm using is 19044.1288.
    EDIT: there is also some kind of problem with permissions when launching just the "Toolkit.cmd", you can't add custom registry settings file. It gives you "Error accessing the registry". But launching it with "Start.cmd" taken from 12.2 seemingly fixes it.

    Are you referring to the download links, or certificate issue with Firefox?

    I now understand that MSMG website won't load in Firefox, due to a certificate problem. But the download link was only visible after you kindly posted it.
