Why isn’t it recommended/required then?Removing Input Method Editor (IME) breaks all sorts of things. You don't need optional IME languages, but the base IME is essential.
Okay I re-checked Input Method Editor (IME) and I'm still getting the same error. It seems like this only happens after I connect the VM to the internet for the first time. Maybe this notification is related to the issue? Everything goes to hell after this pops up.IME is tied to CTFmon, because it's an alternate input method. IME -> OSK (Onscreen Keyboard) -> CTFmon
The reason for this architecture to accomodate both better internationalization, and accessibility features. Both are stated MS corporate priorities for opening up Windows to the widest user base.
It must be handled as a core function, instead of being relegated to a secondary feature like it was before W10. Removing IME doesn't always crash Windows, but it pokes the angry bear. Over the years I've made it a point to highlight IME, but the NTLite warnings come and go as the program evolves (along with Windows releases).
Download mode option | Functionality when set |

Bypass (100) | Starting in Windows 11, this option is deprecated. Don't set Download mode to '100' (Bypass), which can cause some content to fail to download. If you want to disable peer-to-peer functionality, set DownloadMode to (0). If your device doesn't have internet access, set Download Mode to (99). When you set Bypass (100), the download bypasses Delivery Optimization and uses BITS instead. You don't need to set this option if you're using Configuration Manager. |

Make sure to Image - Tools - Remove Reinstalls after Windows Update / Package updates Windows.This error won't stop popping up randomly every few seconds, it's very annoying... any ideas how to fix it? It only started happening after I connected my VM to the internet. My preset is posted below.

A compatibility option would be greatCan you please make me a preset, or set of presets, that can demonstrate the issue without the updates?
Note that if Windows updates in the background, use the Remove Reinstalls to fix that.
Even without NTLite you can find many reports of this issue, but yes, a removal of certain Input/Text components makes it almost a guarantee on updates, which is easily solved with a cleanup which we should do anyway to re-remove returned bits.
I could make a list of components to be kept in the Compatibility form if interested, to avoid this on updates as well.
