    I'm looking for some software just like NTLite and MSMG Toolkit that allow you to remove components/debloat you windows install.

  4. both are best . use according to your needs.
    one best option to use ntlite is if you want to go very deep inside components removal with each & every component description written right side of it inside app.
    msmg is good too but limited to specific list of components removal.

    using ntlite you can go in depth but msmg you have pre made list by its dev.

    you can find alternatives to them but more better option to them isnt available till date.

    after installation you can go through ooshutup or david tool win10privacy .

    NTLite and MSMG Toolkit Such tools are not very good, and the components deleted after the system is updated and patched will be restored.

    Will happen with any tool used. MS doesn't know that they are gone.

    My first comment in mydigitallife :)))

    I think there must be another tools. I actually searched whole internet and found nothing special.
    NTLite is great tool but its paid software and not everyone can afford it to use all features.
    MSMG is useful and totally free, but it's not good enough to do everything with it. For example, not many tweaks, less bloat remove and …
    NTLite can search for updates and download it for you. Most tools that are able to download updates are not usable, because NTLite and MSMG get errors from the files and many of them can not be integrated.
    I even try to download update files from catalog.update.microsoft.com one by one, and it's headache, because it's hard to pick correct version.
    You can choose tasks in NTLite and then it will do everything for you. You just need to sit and drink your coffee. In MSMG to go to the next step, you have to wait for the current task to finish.
    I know MSMG is free tool, and we never paid anything to developers. So we shouldn't have expect too much.
    There are many other weaknesses in free tools. Every new version of windows gets more complicated and it's really hard to create customized ISO these days.
    These things make me to find another way. Unfortunately i don't know so much about DISM commands and other ways to update, debloat and tweaking windows images.

    Welcome!
    You might want to look at Optimize-Offline collection of scripts, is actively maintained and tested by fellow forum members, and should be relatively easy to make it do what you want just by editing configuration scripts.
    That's the most freedom you can get for the task, everything else is more rigid and supports a limited set of functions (but does those well).

    Thanks for your reply.
    I already tried Optimize-Offline tool and it's such a great tool. It's great that this project is active. Thanks to maintainers.
