    Thank you very much!
    Sorry, but I have to bother you w/ another question. For some reason the manual removal [option 1] of Windows components/apps doesn't work for me with any of the 11.x ToolKit versions! :-(
    I am trying to mod Win10 19042.844
    The removal process within the ToolKit works as it should and the modfifications to the source image are applied. But when I test my final ISO export all the supposedly removed apps and components are still there...

    I have created modded installations with the tool before and I just cannot figure what I am doing wrong. I tried the same process with option 3 (removal via package list) and that image came out with everything properly removed....weird. Any idea what I am missing when doing the manual removal?
    Thanks for your support!

    .844 CU is not supported for component removal.

    Code:
    [G] - Select the Components to be removed using [Remove->Remove Windows Components->Select Windows Components] menu.
    
         Note: Only for Client Editions.
         Requires Cumulative Update specified in the changelog.txt to be integrated before the removal.
    
    [H] - Remove the selected Windows Components using [Remove->Remove Windows Components->Start Removing Windows Components] menu.
    
         Note: Only for Client Editions.
         Requires Cumulative Update specified in the changelog.txt to be integrated before the removal.
    

    When you select the components in Step G, the selected component will be prefixed by - sign and in Step H the component is removed.

    I have 19042.685 iso and updated to .804, then use MSMG to remove components.

    Many times users while entering the ISO filename they do enter the filename with extension and having the extension suffixed automatically may create issues when using the generated ISO with other software's like VMware.

    So I left the extension thing to user itself, if you want you can change this text

    Code:
    %ISOFileName%
    
    to

    Code:
    %ISOFileName%.iso

    I mean when you said you tried to use WU and also manually used the .844 CU cab to install, did you install prerequisite SSU?

    1) Will think of it either to add an option or add back functionality.

    2) Though it says it's applicable to WinPE image but need to test it whether the component need to be updated exists in the WinRE.wim

    3) It says it's applicable to WinPE image but the component need to be updated does not exists in the WinRE.wim

    Have fixed the Toolkit script not to add Secure Boot DBX update to winre.wim, do check the download link for Toolkit.cmd

    No, that is the Jan. 2021 19041.740 SSU, but the lowest required SSU for .844 = 19041.504 = KB4577266.

    The SSU inside the 844 combined LCU/SSU is SSU-19041.841-x64.cab = KB5000911

    What should I remove from 21h1 to completely purge windows' built in antivirus?
    Just [24] + Windows Defender App ?
    What is [G] + Security Center | Depends on: Windows Defender

    What other apps are 100% rock solid safe to remove? The only thing I need is Microsoft Store. I don't use weather, mail,

    Just Remove Windows Defender which will eventually remove Security Center, Security Center is the applet present in Control panel which is used to set the notifications for security related features.

    To have build like LTSC + Store App :

    1) Select Everything from Windows Apps and de-select Windows Store App, Xbox Identity Provider, Store Purchase App
    2) Remove the selected Windows Apps

    The reset of the components will depend upon your needs.
