Issue with Windows 10 LTSC and integrating updates and .NET 3.5

Hello.

I have a strange issue with integrating .NET 3.5 (using template in Updates section).
So I start with fresh LTSC x64 iso, I remove regular edition and leave just N, create iso from that.
Then in second pass, I add following updates:
KB4465065
KB4587735 (latest servicing stack update)
KB4586793 (latest CU from November 2020)
KB4486153 (.net 4.8)

I create iso from this, everything is fine, install Windows using this iso, all is good.
Next pass I added KB4586877 which is CU for .net 3.5 and 4.8, and used ResetBase. All went fine, windows installed from this iso is ok.
And finally I added .net 3.5 from template, windows installed from this iso is fine but update check offers KB4586793 which is already integrated.

In previous passes I always checked updates, and before adding .net 3.5 update didn't offer KB4586793.

I tried with silent .net 3.5 installer from abbodi1406 but I get same issue.

I am using latest beta v2.1.0.7726.

Any advise on this would be appreciated. :)
 
Weird. Winre.wim is always maintained unless you remove it with NTLite.

I do not believe that the difference in size is caused by wimlib compression I think the difference is big for that but I am not sure.

I think it is more likely to be the backup of the .NET 4.8 updates as they are integrated after the resetbase or else it is the implementation of the resetbase used by NTLite. I don't know how he does it.

Resetbase in offline image was disabled by microsoft in version 1709 but there is a workaround for this discovered by abbodi1406 in MDL and used in W10UI script. More info here.
 
I tested resetbase with ntlite in 1909 and it didn't downsize or downsize much. I will do more tests so I haven't posted before. I didn't have time to test it in 1809. But for now I prefer to use W10UI for that.
