Windows 10 has a backdoor called Windows Update where Microsoft can do whatever it wants with your system without your consent. With Windows 10 who controls your machine is Microsoft not you, unfortunately. For this and other reasons I update the ISO remove everything I don't want and remove Windows Update completely.with 1909, install clean iso, update post install, reboot after CU Edge proudly announces itself at which point i tell it to go ---- itself.
microsofts way of forcing its stuff down your throat is what Gigers facehugger does.
To use Windows Update without any errors unfortunately this is the only way. There are scripts to unregister system apps but anytime Microsoft wants it can prevent this or force the return of those system apps with an update.i don't even remove components anymore except modern apps, i just disable them to get rid of any possible errors.
I too but I just don't update or go back to Windows 7 or 8.1.i stopped fighting with ms bulshit
Yes that's right. Microsoft has discontinued the old Edge so instead it is installing chromium-based Edge and disabling the old Edge.Chromiu Edge are you referrring to Microsoft Edge, which is based on Chromium?
It depends on how you do it. If you do everything in the same session then NTLite will first integrate the updates then remove the components so nothing you uncheck will be present. However you will not have unchecked the new Microsoft Edge as it was not present before the updates. The best thing to do then is to integrate all the updates and then in another session remove Edge and the other desired components.If I untick all instances of Edge (but leaving Edge HTML renderer) in the NTLite components and features options but add the 'Cumulative Update' found when pressing search for latest updates to the ISO, will this cumulative update result in Microsoft Edge (or other software/junk) being installed?

If you add any recent cumulative update after removing components these components or most of them will be reinstalled. This is Microsoft design and there is nothing that can be done. NTLite has a feature called "Remove Reinstalls" for when this happens.
As I suggested, there will never be CUs updating edge chrome because the automatic edge update service is disabledwe don't have problems about removing or blocking edge. it works for a time, then boom its back like magic by diffrent method.
auto edge update service and microsoft installing edge to your system are irrevelant. you are soooo wrong.As I suggested, there will never be CUs updating edge chrome because the automatic edge update service is disabled
I am happy that you believe it but I invite you to consider that edge, derived from chrome, has its own independent update service (indeed double service) which has nothing to do with CU but happy you...auto edge update service and microsoft installing edge to your system are irrevelant. you are soooo wrong.
You can add updates and in the Apply option of the left menu select the combo box Stop before saving the image then load the image again in the Source option. This will integrate the updates and reload the image without unmounting it.COuld you let me know what you mean by 'in another session'? HOw do you start a new session in NTLite, and how do you do it in such a way that the stuff which is included in a 'CUmulative update' will apear in the features/components section of NTlite, so I can untick it?
Microsoft Edge installed by CU or by .msi are the same. This is the new chromium-based Microsoft Edge. The old Edge is disabled by CU. Maybe using setup takes up less disk space (I haven't tested this) but if you install Edge with any setup downloaded from the internet the CU will detect its presence and won't try to reinstall it. So it doesn't make much sense to disable Windows Update and Edge's auto update if you already have the new Edge installed. I think you're confusing old and new Edge.I solved Windows Update by installing WUMT and at the first start of this by setting the update mode to disable.
And MS Edge via NTLite, I remove all of this (including the "edgeupdate" update service) and install in Post-Setup Edge Business latest release + edgeupdate disable script.
Try it...
When do I follow the step 'load the image again in the Source option' you mention? Before starting the process (by pressing the 'process' button), or at some point during the processing (after pressing the 'process' button)?You can add updates and in the Apply option of the left menu select the combo box Stop before saving the image then load the image again in the Source option. This will integrate the updates and reload the image without unmounting it.
