    Big thanks. I presume I just extract the cab files from the WinPE_OCs folder to the \LanguagePacks\w11 folder in Toolkit?

    Most things don't come back but the big one that annoys everyone is Defender coming back. This isn't a toolkit problem, Microsoft goes to great lengths to make sure Defender is installed and working after every update.

    The same thing happened to me.It seems that if you want to update the component without returning it, you may need to handle the update package separately.

    Hi,
    Thanks a ton for this list and apologies for the late reply. This is my list for Windows 10 22H2 19045.2486 based on the information on this thread, your list with notes, my testing and various sources on the net, I've added explanations for the items I could find an explanation for and I would appreciate it if users with much more experience could check and tell me whether more items can be removed? Is the information wrong? Will they break something as well as people contributing to it because there's no definitive list that explains components/removing them will break something because this is Windows after all and to a new user if they stumble upon this, will help them build that first ISO:

    Also, I have a couple more questions if someone could guide me:
    1. What are the names of the packages that windows updates depends on because I would like to rip out windows updates from the ISO completely and not just disable it because I use PSWindowsUpdate through PowerShell to handle my windows updates and I find that way better because I have more control that way and I like having more control over my system.

    2. Is it possible to remove "Xbox" but still somehow keep Game Bar functioning? Asking if this is possible or I really have to keep all Xbox components including Live and all that other garbage just for game bar? Is it very much dependent on them? Asking because I actually like Game Bar's shortcuts and stuff.

    Good afternoon master, how to proceed in these applications with direct user folders, as well as brave browser, whatssap and others, how to modify these names of the records, to get the user name after training, because I see that some that I install, when I go to uninstall in the control panel it uninstalls, but they are still there on the desktop in their original folder those I am talking about are applications without folders installed directly from the user, because those of users do not even appear to remove, because of that, how to proceed
