Managed eventually to make a working LTSC2019N (the only big issue I had was with Internet Explorer component breaking Cortana when removed, keeping that in solves the issue, previously, in LTSB I could remove IE with no Cortana issue).
Did a few tests in order to compare the installation size, same preset on all of them and made the iso for LTSC also with an older NTLite (1.7.0.6545) and it yields simliar with LTSB installation size ~1.4GB less and ISO size ~700MB less than when using latest NTLite, but Cortana is non functional (Faulting application name: SearchUI.exe, version: 10.0.17763.1, time stamp: 0x5b9c5812/Faulting module name: Windows.UI.Xaml.dll, version: 10.0.17763.165, time stamp: 0x4b439076). DISM broken with both LTSC trials.
Hi nuhi,I have an idea how to trim it a bit more, just need some time - it will be visible on the changelog when done.
Nothing changed in that area and same non functional Cortana when removing IE, same broken DISM
Windows looks more and more like a house of cards (without Kevin Spacey) and any tool like NTLite is doomed to become one too (already is)... start wondering if all this time invested in this area pays up compared with having a slightly bloated Windows in the first place... I think eventually I will go with vanilla LTSC(N) and disable some services/apps, use some well known tweaks for optimizing and leave this NTLite stuff to others...

Everybody's talking about that LTSC (N?) version. What's the difference between it and the Enterprise edition and what if I wanted to use some (few) UWP apps (among other functions that could not be available in it)? Would I be able to integrate them? I feel the same, there are always problems when removing/configuring stuff, even more when there are new Windows versions.
Hm, I tried now and it's proper 6623, do you have some caching maybe?Hi... download links are not updated... the file (x64) downloaded is v1.7.1.6593...
Regards... ;-)
I'm going to stick to Windows 10 1803 with just apps removed and the telemetry client and a few bigger stuff that takes a lot of space, like Windows Update. Removing beyond that feels more gimicky than anything else, I can't even remove Internet Explorer without breaking something that makes it not possible to set Firefox as my standard browser. I've come to realise, for me that saving 1 GB of space is not worth the potential breakage that could come from it.
It is ok...Hm, I tried now and it's proper 6623, do you have some caching maybe?
Will reply the rest of posts tomorrow, thx.
LTSB(C) is windows as it should be, without bloatware (there's still some, but much less than in the regular channel edition, no Store, no stupid apps), N variant is further stripped from a bunch of other useless (for me) stuff like Media Player, Groove Music, Movies & TV, Voice Recorder and so on.
Using NTLite on a LTSB(C)-N edition one can even further strip down to whatever he needs... did that with LTSB-N and was more than ok with what I got (LTSC still seems to be WIP/beta with NTLite).
Android (mobile) devices can still be used with N editions by extracting and installing the Windows Portable Devices package from the regular edition and the missing functions are just what I need if by missing functions you mean bloatware apps that no one needs.
Hello;
I am using "Windows 8.1". It contained 167 services. The result of "Ntlite" was 42 pieces of service. 125 reduced service. Very good to reduce services. Ram, cpu, hd; much more relaxed. Deleting unnecessary data. Removing a lot of services in the latest version.
Cannot replicate this, CU installs fine here on latest NTLite and your preset (tried both, CU and Admin permission reported one).I still can't install the latest CU (in this case KB4467708) through Windows Update after integrating the previous one (KB4464455) and the latest SSU (KB4465664) and removing and integrating some things with NTLite (see the preset). I used NTLite's latest version and Windows 10 1809 Build 17763.1 x64 version. Now I have the 0x80070032 error (before I had the 0x800f081f error). An Adobe Flash Player update still shows up in Windows Update despite having removed Adobe Flash Player with NTLite (and the update is succesfully installed). Also, I don't know if it was caused by integrating updates but the setup was much slower than usual.
EDIT: Is there a way to remove Internet Explorer without breaking the information next to each service in services.msc?

WU after that downloads something fast (Microsoft-OneCore-Graphics-Tools-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab) and is satisfied.
I might get your exact image (Portuguese?) if you get the same issue on the next reinstall, while using only NTLite for the duration of the test.
The first 1809 release (preset's info):I might get your exact image (Portuguese?) if you get the same issue on the next reinstall, while using only NTLite for the duration of the test.
I had it configured for unattended install, except the dangerous(?) wipe disk/create partition part.
Used NTLite 1.7.1.5693, source en_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_74865958.
