    The new system is interwoven with various packages, and tweak.exe cannot handle it well, so it is not recommended.

    The effect of tweak.exe processing is very limited.

    You can compare the actual situation of the files before and after processing.

    Hmm, good advice to look at the result before and after processing, so what will do the job well then?

    Release the image file to a folder, for example, 1, use tweak.exe operation, then release it to folder 2, and compare the file differences.

    Comparatively usable:
    WinMerge
    Beyond Compare

    Simplifying the WINSXS folder results in the inability to update.

    Hmm, well, I wrote about this above: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/slimdown10-–-turn-windows-10-22h2-or-ltsc-2021-into-classic-legacy-windows.86552/page-144#post-1880351
    Everything is very simple: unzip this archive into the folder with the SunLion tool, also place the install.wim file from Winows 11 Enterprise LTSC 26100.1742 into this folder, then process the resulting file in the NTLite program with the script from SunLion - Presets_NTLite and at the output you will get the desired install.wim file for assembling Winows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC with the updates that you apply in the SunLion tool.

    This is not at all necessary, it depends on what to delete in this pack and, most importantly, how to delete it. By the way, I do not forcibly delete anything in my script in the WINSXS pack. Only by standard means:
    Code:
    
    ECHO.
    ECHO ====================================
    ECHO Resetting WinSxS of install.wim
    ECHO ====================================
    "%DISM11%" /English /Image:"%~dp0mount" /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    "%DISM11%" /English /Image:"%~dp0mount" /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

    is there a way to run this tweaks to a custom made 11 iso??
    I just use dism and winscript to remove most M$ apps and backup iso with dism++
    but the tool is from 2023, no more updates??

    Food for thought (as an example): it is possible to remove applications using PowerShell.

    Code:
    
    Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage # Uninstall 3dbuilder
    Get-AppxPackage *windowsalarms* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove the alarm clock application.
    Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage # Uninstall People, Mail, and Calendar
    Get-AppxPackage *officehub* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Office Hub
    Get-AppxPackage *skypeapp* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Tiled Skype.
    Get-AppxPackage *getstarted* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Get Started
    Get-AppxPackage *zunemusic* | Remove-AppxPackage #Removing Tiled Music Player
    Get-AppxPackage *windowsmaps* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Maps
    Get-AppxPackage *bingfinance* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove-AppxPackage
    Get-AppxPackage *zunevideo* | Remove-AppxPackage #Remove Tiled Video Player
    Get-AppxPackage *bingnews* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove-AppxPackage
    Get-AppxPackage *onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove One Note
    Get-AppxPackage *windowsphone* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Phone Communications
    Get-AppxPackage *photos* | Remove-AppxPackage #Delete Photos
    Get-AppxPackage *bingsports* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Sports
    Get-AppxPackage *soundrecorder* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Sound Recorder
    Get-AppxPackage *bingweather* | Remove-AppxPackage #Remove Weather
    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MSPaint | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Paint 3D (while regular Paint remains)
    Get-AppxPackage -allusers *messaging* | Remove-AppxPackage # Remove Windows Messenger
    
    
    Or via tweak.exe, whichever you prefer (as an example):
    Code:
    
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /o /l
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /o /c Microsoft-Windows-Cortana /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /h /o /l
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Xbox" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-OneCore-Gaming" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-OneCore-Indexer" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Backup" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XPSServices" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Xps" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-TextPrediction" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-3DAudio" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Media-Streaming" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-MiracastView" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Printing-PrintToPDFServices" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-OneDrive" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-OfflineFiles" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-SnippingTool" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Common-Modem" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-OneCore-CortanaComponents" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-Search2" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-SearchEngine" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Windows-ContentDeliveryManager" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Windows-Defender" /r
    "%~dp0Tools\tweak.exe" /n /p "%~dp0Mount" /c "Microsoft-Huper-V" /r
    
    

    p.s. Personally, I'm waiting for a normal and well balanced updated Clear_Insider from SunLion. Because other colleagues prefer to keep silent about their talents.
