Then it is already present in the Toolkit, just use Customize->Apply Tweaks->Enable Windows Photo Viewer
Can I use this command? "%~dp0tools\%HostArchitecture%\NSudo.exe" -U:T -P:E regedit.exe /s REG IMPORT "%~dp0Tweaks\PhotoViewerWindows10.reg"
1. Thanks for the info! I didn't even consider sysprep for the ESD distributed thru MCT. Now that makes sense. I am not familiar with that method though, so what I'm trying could be impossible, but I wonder if I could mount that install.wim and modify something to force Edge to not be installed at all... last time I tried to remove some folder or file regarding Edge in that image the install process throwed a hardware error! 2. Regarding applying updates in the proper order for the 19042.610 image from uupdump... that takes out the guesswork and as such is easier. I don't know what KB is Cumulative, Dynamic, Enablement... I have these: kb4577266 kb4562830 kb4579305 kb4580364 Could you please tell me what goes where? 3. And... If I leave them at the $OEM$ folder... I will be able to remove packages from the offline image as there's nothing pending, but then those updates won't apply and I'll end up wth an 19041.1 install. Did I understand that? 4. Last question. If I integrate those updates... then I won't be able to remove individual packages from the offline image as there are pending operations... so that method forces me to install the OS with only what your software can remove as it seems DISM isn't gonna work there. Is that right?
Finalized my LTSC tests: - Last WU (*.msu) files were applied flawlessly over live system in oflline mode - No apps returned back - No SFC errors at any stage: MSMG + removing System Apps -> ISO -> Setup -> Installing WU files Note: Additional removal of the CloudExperienceHost for the current User (live OS) hasn't been tested yet. I don't see any reason do not use LTSC. I don't see any reason to use a new builds (full of errors that should be fixed in the next century).
Also updated my suggestion Screenshot for the rescent Windows builds. Description for CredDialogHost and notification how to remove Windows Hello completely were added. (I have more descriptions for Apps. If smb. need this, just say, I'll prepear for posting on English)
Rather than starting from scratch I settled on restoring a a base image which has OS and drivers and nothing more. I'm getting too old to be climbing under desks to disconnect drives especially when I have to remove the GPU to get at one of the M.2 drives. Spoiler: Integrating Defender Backup current system (1x Image + 1x user data) Restore base image Update to 17763.1397 Manual install image created with toolkit that has Defender in it at patch level 1397 Run my post install script to put back all user data, apply tweaks and install programs. Reinstall Office. Test Create a backup image Everything seems to be working fine. Thanks to @MSMG, @Ace2 and @Ingviowarr

Rofl that comment. Not on topic (sorry) but can relate, I just hate it when that has to be done. Cheers.
Yes you can use it for live systems, if for offline images then you need to modify the reg hives to mounted ones.
