Hi!

I'm curious when stripping a non-N version, which basically includes the 'media feature pack' (whereas N version does not), which components (that can be removed) is responsible for this:

- Video playback in browser like Firefox (Which require external windows video codec) where Chrome has its own built-in codecs apparently

I know that GameDVR and Gaming Settings and all of that crap is part of the Xbox apps I believe.
 
Haven't looked in detail, but Windows Media Player and its codecs for sure, even if the tool shows codecs it would not be complete.
You should be able to see the difference by loading the N edition, uncheck all Compatibilities, then all components, then save a preset.
Do the same for the non-N edition and compare those presets.
 
Hi!
I implemented your method and obtained the following differences between the presets of the Pro version and the Pro N version:

I have three open questions:
Does BITS really not exist in the Pro N version ? (<c>bits 'Service de transfert intelligent en arrière-plan (BITS)'</c>)
Why does Windows Update remain enabled in version N and is no longer enabled in the PRO? (<Feature enabled="no-->Pro/yes-->ProN">WindowsUpdate</Feature>)
What is "<c>optionalfeatures 'Fonctionnalités Windows'</c>" ?

Because I need some features of the media pack, I chose Windows Pro (not N). I then remove the following features:
<c>mediaplayer 'Windows Media Player'</c>
<c>mediaplayer32 'Windows Media Player - 32 bits'</c>
<c>mediaplayernetworksharing 'Service Partage réseau du Lecteur WMP'</c>

<c>webcamexperience 'Expérience Webcam'</c>
<Feature enabled="no">VideoPlayback</Feature>
<Feature enabled="no">SamsungSwitch</Feature>

Unless I am mistaken, the following options are not available in the Pro version (compared to the Pro N version):
<c>photoviewer32 'Visionneuse de photos - 32 bits'</c>
<Tweak name="ContentDeliveryManager\RotatingLockScreenOverlayEnabled">0</Tweak>

I'm sharing my experience with the Media Feature Pack vs Pro (not N) and I hope others will do the same to help me improve my wim image.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
