There was an error in the previous preset, I used dism to remove components instead of custom mode, and I updated the appinstaller because using the old version of appinstaller I got an error when installing uwp apps. So please use this new preset as a reference.
The widget will not appear immediately, it will be installed after a period of time after connecting to the Internet, along with updates to other pre-installed UWP applications. After connecting to the Internet for a few minutes, you will see network activity in Windows Update in the Task Manager, followed by delivery optimization. The first thing to be installed may not be widgets but updates for other uwp applications. You can open "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" before connecting to the Internet and refresh it after a few minutes. You will find that the modification time of some uwp application folders has been refreshed, the version number has also been updated, and client.webexperience will also appear in Here, when the system is restarted, the widget will appear in the taskbar. In the picture below, the latest modification time before connecting to the Internet is the Xboxspeechtotextoverlay folder, with a modification time of 0:17. After a few minutes of networking, client.webexperience appears, with a modification time of 0:21. In another picture, The notification bar says "We are adding some new features to Windows". This is a new discovery. I don't know if it is related to my problem.
In my re-build test, only zunemusic, paint and some dependencies were updated and the widget is reinstalled. I don't know if this is a coincidence or if Microsoft treats certain applications specially. I didn't do any more experiments to verify if only they would be updated or installed.

Windows.PrintDialog 6.2.2.0I think I’ve found the problem. I disabled Content Delivery Optimization, so you can’t download updates. But this is very unstable, some people can download updates, some can’t, some people sometimes can download and sometimes can’t. And after disabling it, the download of uwp applications will also become unstable, which is not what I want. So I restored Content Delivery Optimization and removed some update-related scheduled tasks. This allows me to smoothly download UWP apps and their updates without being disturbed by automatic updates, but this does not prevent the system from automatically downloading WebExperience for me. Is there a scheduled task or component that automatically installs WebExperience for me? This time I submitted two presets, because in the first preset some scheduled tasks were shown to have been removed due to the removal of components, but after I applied the changes these scheduled tasks reappeared, so I made a second change to remove them. I will also submit two update logs for your reference, one is “C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log”, and the other is obtained using the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command. These two logs are very clean, because I received the update soon after entering the system, and I did not perform any extra operations during this period.
Please note that updates to WebExperience will never show up in the update history in settings.
