FSFilter Anti-Virus - Windows Defender does real-time checking of new files.

If I remove Windows Defender is it safe to remove it? I removed all filters without having any apparent consequences but I don't know what might be going on behind the scenes.

FSFilter Activity Monitor - File Explorer will update the folder view based on detected activity.

Maybe this is because my Desktop doesn't always update the files shown when I download a file in the browser and save it to the Desktop, I removed that :p
 
Filters are deployed for mostly enterprise reasons.

Basically it's required for anything to snoop filesystem traffic. Much like a network analyzer does.

Most OEM installers will load a signing cert, so you would need to export it to the new image, along with the INF files.
I think Clanger's done that before.

find out where in the registry that information goes and export.

To install the driver(either the exe or extracted inf(and associated files) ) later on on w7 and w10(referring back to the driver install info image) either on a mounted image or post setup i would need to add the registry file first(either a mounted image) or before the driver installer during post setup, windows will see that "harman international"(lexicon parent company) is a trusted publisher and allow install of the driver exe or inf(extracted) so i wouldnt need to disable driver signing on w10 and no poxy watermark.

Don't try to remove filters, they are kernel drivers.

If you don't want a system feature, then remove the parent component (which owns the filter). When a required filter is missing, Windows will simply crash or fail without obvious explanation.

It depends on the features and programs you use. But in general it is not recommended to remove them as they may be required by some program or feature and occupy very little disk space, the gain in removing them will be practically nil since they only use system resources when necessary.

"third-party developers can write "minifilter" filter drivers"
"FltMgr is installed with Windows, but becomes active only when a minifilter driver is loaded."

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/filter-manager-concepts

I removed them all and had no problems but I don't use the related features nor programs with related features, however the next clean install I do I will keep them as you never know what you will need in the future.
