Corrupted ISO's - NTLite has become almost unusable (VMware)

Hi

I've been trying to use NTLite to remove apps/components from a Win10_x86 (untouched) ISO I downloaded from Microsoft's website. During the setup process within NTLite, I'm not adding any hotfixes, drivers, or running any post-scrips; just removing components. I only removed a handful of items (non-essential) and every time I go to make a ISO and try to install in VMware, I get a blue screen. I happens right after it formats the drive and begins to write the files to the drive. I actually purchased the Pro ver ($40 one) of this and feel I may have wasted my money. After doing some reading, apparently there's a lot of people having the same issue and it appears the problem lies with the newest version of NTLite. I've used NTLite in the past, nonPro one, and I had some success with it. Now, it is useless. I'm actually hoping that maybe I've done something wrong or missing a step(s) and someone out there has a solution.
 
Please attach your preset (after removing any user passwords or license key). Without the preset, it's unclear if your preset is problematic or you're having VMware or VM-related issues. I constantly run VMware to install images created from user-provided presets, so I know it's a combination that works.

I'm not actually using any presets. I just removed some components and ran the 'process'. I only created a user and added a Windows-home key to the custom installation.
 
Without listing which components you removed, it's difficult to know if you broke something Windows needed. You have a licensed copy, which means you're eligible to remove any number of riskier components.

Or maybe not, but without the auto-saved preset, we're just randomly guessing at reasons.
