Meanwhile I cannot update my image with the CU as it fails every time. Stuck on 18363.449. There must be a way to manually repair it, but all attempts have failed. Although I didn't try mounting my image offline to attempt repair like that. Running too low on motivation for that... I guess I will wait for 2004 update, I won't use component removal if it means they will return with each CU. App removal and disabling components gives a stable clean result. Although you can't disable a lot of the components with MSMG, only remove. Obviously some things can't be disabled, but I'm sure there are some more that can be to avoid the "restore on CU" problem. I hope at some point a feature is added to skip setup questions and select local install. Anything to streamline the install process. Especially when I cannot supervise the install (and some noob leaves the boxes ticked and puts in a microsoft account because they don't listen to instructions)!
Interesting. Do you try: - Other autounattend.xml file? - Do not use SetupComplete.cmd ? - Put to iso file boot.wim from older version ? Pozdrawiam i zdrowia zycze
1. Have full control over updates using That or That 2. Use DISM commands to repair WU for eg. Code: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Code: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 3. Use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 to get regular updates without returning removed components. Thanks. ...
- Try install the update using .msu or .cab file with DISM - Do integrate the latest CU and remove the components and then try in-place upgrade. Yes even for v2004 expect the Windows App all other removed components will be returned back. Try using unattend.xml to skip the setup questions and to use local account.

Removing All Windows Apps in Windows Apps-1 menu will also remove the apps in Windows Apps-2 too.
@MSMG Thank you again for your hard work. This will help with my boredom later, as I can test with latest 1909 and perhaps 20H1.
Yes don't integrate any packs just remove components and try the image as the log reports some file/folder permissions are set twice.
@MSMG Small issue with ToolKitHelper.

Sorry my mistake, while updating the code for all languages, I did forgot to remove the code checking for the en-US language only image. Will release a new version tomorrow to work with all languages.
