    See my edits in above post.

    Yeah, Narrator probably safe to remove but not CloudExperienceHost.

    Ok I let CloudHost be and removed IE and Mediplayer and pointless Language Features via on-Demand packages yet it still fails. I'm guessing 20H2 has some package that now cannot be removed as compared to older versions.

    :confused:... has something changed recently?, ... have always removed it from my optimizations.. no (apparent) issues

    ... try leaving these alone and see what happens.. Microsoft.WindowsStore Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider

    Post your log file again and maybe Narrator can no longer be removed.

    CloudExperienceHost has caused Windows to fail to install for me in the past, but I haven't tried it in a very long time.

    I've been experiencing some weird issues with my icons in Windows Explorer: They disappear and leave these blank white icons, only to come back by themselves a couple of minutes after. Have any of you experienced something like this?

    Okay, some more info, after a few days of observation and tracing. Even if you uninstall OneCore and HelloBussiness - it is integrated way too deep. SettingSync will try to run its s**t REGARDLESS every time there is a need. For example, accessing "Sing-In Options" in "Accounts" in new meme Immersive Control Panel with Hello uninstalled will result in softlock:

    So keep this in mind.
    There is plenty of other things that break new meme Panel, like stopping services
    AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC)
    Web Account Manager (TokenBroker)
    f**king destroys it. And worst part is that it just silently dies instead of displaying ANY kind of useful info.

    CloudStore/Host also will run regardless of anything and if you try to disable something it uses you get like 500 event log errors.

    Btw, the statement from github page that removing Cortana completely breaks the serach in Start Menu is incorrect for 20H1 - search works perfectly.

    If you remove Cortana the file search works but the Search Icon/Box doesn't work which is a deal-breaker for me. :(

    I dont understand. The readme on the github page does not talk about some random icon, it explicitly says that uninstalling Cortana DISABLES SEARCH.

    This is incorrect. Search works. Both in main menu and Windows Search , the service.
