@RaiyvaN make sure that windows updates medic service is completely disabled. reg value 4 then you can set windows updates service to manual, then doo test.
I only have Windows Update Service in manual, the others I kept set to disabled. But I will check this option, as I may never have configured it. So downloads from the Windows Store are back up and running. Until this moment. Edit: Checked. WaaSMedicSvc is set to 4 (disabled) and wuauserv set to 3 (manual), allows the functionality of downloads and updates in the Windows Store to remain in operation. At the moment, I am performing more tests because I had problems with wifi in the 2004 H1 versions. That had not occurred in the 1909 H2. The Diagnostic Policies Service - DPS is set to Automatic, but does not run. It breaks and does not allow connection to any type of network. Can anyone confirm if they had this problem? I think it might be related to the removal of the Wi-Fi Network Manager. Just a hypothesis.
@RaiyvaN does windows narrator function for you correctly? could you post the package list you used to slim down your image? i'm worried that a few items that I removed in the past scrood my narrator? so had to remake the image.
@RaiyvaN I did not remove ease of access theams windows backup system restore, corse just cause narrator did not work does not mean that the hole image was borked due to me being blind I could not tell so scrapped the image and started anew. as to your wifi-manager item I did not remove that sorry.
You have to maintain what is related to Speech Recognition. The speech updates must be kept enabled. I will do the following: I will post the list of what I kept. And, you tell me what else is possible to remove. And, I tell you if it's interesting or not. Consider the fact that I left an option to remove components related to games and gameplay. And, another option to remove the Mixed Reality pack, but it seems that it no longer comes in the 2004 versions. Note: Keep in mind that there are several components that can be obtained from the Windows Store. Here is the list of the components maintained.

What would you recommend in 2020 for privacy. Would you recommend I use the latest version of LTSC 2019 with MSMG to remove some privacy components or use LTSB 2016? I heard 2016 is better because the cortona is separate from the start menu and task bar.
Hi, Thanks for the tool. I have some issues. Pls correct me if am doing anything wrong.

This is due to ToolKitHelper. Why are you adding the rest?

Hi, Issue's not fixed. Waiting for the solution. Some workaround is , use v10.0 version with the updated toolkit.cmd file. It worked properly. But will take more time for removal. Thanks.
Anyone have any idea how to get the recent codec bug fixes if you don't have access to the Microsoft Store? Also, can these "out of band" updates be integrated into the image with the toolkit?
Check the removal menus in the Toolkit, the dependencies are specified next to the component names. Also in readme.txt do check under known issues to see if any components are required for some non Microsoft applications.
Since we are removing the components and not disabling them, the First Logon Animation files/registry entries are removed and the GPO settings won't be having any effect on it.
