    I won't prepare a list of files for other packages, as this method of directly deleting files is not a standard way of handling images, and many netizens may also disdain it.
    The several package lists provided can already make the system run more efficiently. Some people may notice that different packages have the same files, which is why using various methods such as DISM in the past cannot effectively handle new systems. Many packages are tangled together and can only be manually analyzed file by file.

    It's true.

    It's harder to install without the store now. I also couldn't do it the last time I formatted my PC.

    We can try @wuliyen's suggestion above.

    One more question about the script!
    Did you manage to register successfully?
    The QR code is not displayed or loaded for me.
    Is it the same for you too!????

    Yes, the code is open source, and I was able to get everything working without errors.

    See the images attached to the post above.

    Please note that this app is for Windows 10.

    I don't know if it will work on Windows 11.

    Thanks for your effort anyway!

    Did it work for you with the QR code without any problems?

    Yes, no problem.

    After testing it on VirtualBox, I installed it on my real machine, which I use, and it works very well.

    From 1742 to 7015, excluding the large WinSxS, they all increased by 1.4G.
