Hello. So I trimmed down the latest windows 10 iso, removing the bloat while maintaining as much compatibility as possible. I did also remove all of Windows Update that was possible outside of live mode. I'm happy with the results of my tweaking and all is working perfectly.. Except one thing. Some games, notably Age of Empires titles, require .NET 3.5 to run. Often times they will have a popup asking to download the feature. From what I can tell, that is from Windows Update in some way. I do not get this popup. I tried other ways to install .NET 3.5, even using an untouched version of the same ISO and using that as a source for DISM to install the feature. But that did not work either.
So basically, I dont want to re-do all of my tweaking from scratch and keep windows update this time. Is there any way that I can install .NET 3.5? Surely there's some way I can manually install this or something.
Any help is very appreciated. I can provide any missing information and I'll be following the thread closely.
