Does including the latest 'Cumulative Update' install features like Microsoft Edge?

[califauna]

Hi,

If I add the latest 'Cumulative Update' from Windows to the installer will this sometimes result in Edge or other features / components being added?

Do they still get added even if the features are disabled (unticked), or not appear, in the config?

Thanks.

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)?

After pressing the button. Wait for the process to finish and go to Source and load the image again. But I highly recommend you not to do it that way. It is much better to integrate updates, save the image and create an ISO, back up the ISO and only after you have an updated ISO in a safe place load the image to remove the components.

I'm sure you won't be satisfied with the results and will have to test several times so why not integrate updates just once and save a copy of that instead of integrate updates every time you want to create an ISO with removed components?

Checking 'Stop before saving image' then unloading and loading again the extracted original windows ISO does not make Edge appear in the features or source section (so, I can't untick it).

If you 'Stop before saving image' then you should not unmount the image without saving otherwise you will lose all modifications. Instead you must reload the image without unmounting it.

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...
Have a good time

its not about belief its a fact. you can remove updating service for how many times you want, it won't matter. update service just updates the product. same as legacy edge same as chromium edge or even google chrome-opera-safari-mozilla-brave browser.

with every 1 or 2 cumulative updates microsoft reinstalls edge not updates but REINSTALLS it. that is why edge will always will be back.

only working way right now is the some reg entries and blocking edge folder for any writes by system but even that will not work in the future since installation folder can change.

you were just lucky you will get edge back when you update. and if you say it has nothing to do with CU then we understand you don't know anything.

For the sake of the relevance of the information in this thread please move discussion about how Windows manages Edge once the OS is installed to a suitable place/thread. That is useful knowledge, but this thread is (currently) about removing Edge from the installer/ISO not what happens after it is installed.

Thank you for reminding me of what I knew well anyway ...

This thread is about removing Edge from the installer/ISO not what happens after it is installed (at least for the moment, and I don't foresee that being relevant to this post at this point).

I agree with the real essence to keep in mind ...

Regarding what I have repeatedly stated, I have made available my ISO - which I would be happy to let anyone who wants to test - in order to know any bugs (if it does not do what I had planned) - relating to:

1. Windows 10 Professional 21H1 updated to 07/2021 in Italian+EN-US (post installation, change to Setting-->Time & Language - but in order to verify if Edge remains or not I don't see it as limiting);
2. Eliminate all Apps + Store and telemetry and MS connections=UltraLite=UltraLTSC.
3. Never S/N
4. User --> Administrator (PSW to PM)
5. ... Try it and I think you will be pleasantly impressed... I hope but criticism is always welcome.
6. I recommend to test it on a VM
7. post Update & Security->Check for update->LCU 08-2021 edge does not appear...

This version was obtained starting from the MSDN business edition and "worked" with other software before being optimized with NTLITE.

If it is interesting, I am available to "illustrate" the methods used to build this ISO.

I am waiting (via PM) for those who want to test this "made" version (and in my opinion perfectly functional ...) by those who do not know many things but have the modesty to read, study, try and try again and try again and verify the results . Thanks
