Yes, I've figured out why. Please test it with this attached script (replace the original). Please report the result!
Is the script working on x86 version? Anyone tested it on x86 version? my last test was LTSC x64 version.
Thanks for reporting. Just to clarify, the script doesn't remove appxpackages when run in DEBUG mode only. When run in normal mode, where updates are integrated, everything runs smoothly. Therefore, I'll wait for the new monthly update to publish the corrected script with the new package.
Pro x64 Tested. It's working fine on VM. apps are ready (cal paint snipping). Thank you SunLion for your endless endeavors. Note: 1 cal. I can see two. one is classic. another is plain. 2 it's noticed the image by SD10_Renewed_1.28 is about 250MB bigger. Is that normal? the biggest since giving up W10UI .mum method. 3. indeed, handling with LTSC or with Pro (non-LTSC), the script is different (I did compare them). Is that true? I will keep both scripts at this time.
If you choose not to remove Defender, the Defender update will be added, increasing the image size by about 250 MB. When using PRO, some codes aren't applied as they are in LTSC, as they are specific to LTSC. So, the logs are different.
Pro x86 Tested on a physical computer. it runs fine. I have some XP computers, still running strong. I tested OS install of W7 (x86, x64), W10 (x86, x64), and W11. running W7 (x64) and W11, often got crashing. running W7 (x86), W10 (x86, x64) were ok. I was thinking W10 x64 should be crashing too. Anyway, I let them staying with W10 (x86 or x64. no matter). more stable and compatible comparing to W11 or W7. the x86 is more compact (clean-install today shows 6.1 GB only).
Thanks for you quick reply, i will check... Just wanted to mention that you responded to a former edit of my post. Ive added a new Point 7 and the defender topic became Point 8. Sorry for the confusion, you're just too quick for me
I figured out what was causing this. It was the removal of Internet Explorer in the "Remove Capabilities" code. Fixed!
