How to delete "Windows Backup" app?

[DMD61]

Good morning I am using NTLite 2023.7.9371 with ISO 22621.
Today with the new update (.2361) this App appeared to me that I can't remove.
Any ideas?
Thanks

From my understanding, it is part of the ‘Windows Feature Experience Pack', and so far, from my understanding, there is no way to uninstall it.

Will give it a try these days, aware of it, thanks for the suggestion.

You can easily remove the component, but it includes other features in the same package, and will always be reinstalled by the CU.

Since it's combined with other components, that is the tricky part.
It's not that easy as I want it as generic as possible, and this requires file+reg separations, which are all but generic.

Also it would need to support removal after a Windows install, not just before.

CU returns a lot already, so that's a non-issue, IF the component/part can be re-removed live as it's planned.

The files were added in SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\WindowsBackup and has its own Manifests files, it shouldn't be a problem to delete it separately

It could be deleted in "offline" like the other news components

The problem is that removing \WindowsBackup isn't enough, you need to clean the AppxManifest for Client.CBS at the same time.

And since it was added by CU, it needs to be removed every month. The question still is, how do you unregister Appx components once they've been added to a live (provisioned) system It's the same headache as GetStarted, which is another Client.CBS app.
