this is a very nice preset so far one of the interesting ones
this list is just what is still remaining in my iso with no errors for installing and no errors well browsing the system hope it's helpful someway in narrowing down the component that is causing issues
w/o Event Viewer, how will you troubleshoot this machine with event logs?<c>eventviewer 'Event Viewer'</c>
<c>eventviewer32 'Event Viewer - 32 bit'</c>
Servicing stack is required for updates, SFC for repairing Windows corruption.<c>manifests 'Windows Component Database'</c>
<c>sfc 'System File Check (SFC)'</c>
<c>sstack 'Servicing Stack'</c>
<c>sstackwow64 'Servicing Stack - 32 bit'</c>
TPM is not required if you have the workaround, but Windows probably expects it to installed.<c>tpm 'Trusted Platform Module (TPM)'</c>

<c>tpmmmc32 'Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (management console) - 32 bit'</c>
<c>winsxs 'Windows Component Store (WinSxS)'</c>
System Restore is helpful in rolling back the system after bad driver or system update. It's optional, but I would keep it.<c>systemrestore 'System Restore'</c>
<c>vss 'Volume Shadow Copy'</c>
Do you use windows 11 to test ?after some more testing these are the remaining components after removing others and ive gotten no errors present upon install
narrowed it down to 30 components (protect them)
