Install KB50095555 on Server 2022

I know removing components in Server 2022 is unsupported, but I'm hoping somebody else has figured this out for me...

I've carefully removed components in 10 LTSC and also Server 2019 in the past and never had a problem once I gone through the trouble and figuring out which components can and can't be removed. However, 2022 is being a real PITA.

I had Nov & Dec's CU break, and after spending a few hours of building a stripped down 2022, managed to find a configuration where the OS would install and then apply Dec's CU no problem. Awesome! So I took that same config and integrated the Dec CU and called it a day.

Now Jan's CU is out and... it's broken again. Every time it tries to install KB50095555, it comes back with the dreaded 0x800f0982 error. I'm going to try a vanilla copy and see if it works without Dec's CU integrated. Has anybody else gotten this to work?
 
Any reason for skipping KB5005039?

Before installing this update

Microsoft now combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

Prerequisite:

You must install KB5005039, dated August 10, 2021, before installing the LCU.
 
Just checked, NTLite says that:

KB5004330
KB5005039
KB5005552 - Fix for ServicingStack 10.0.20348.169

Are all preinstalled in the .wim
 
From the preset, your image (RTM build) and host version (Dec 2021 LCU) check out.

I don't have a copy of Server 2022, but try this idea:
Integrate KB5009555 into the clean image, apply & save. Now load your preset and remove components. See if ordering matters.
 
Okay, I finally figured it out. For some reason, removing SMBv1 breaks updates on Server 2022. Why? No clue! :)

Also, including KB5010796 also breaks things. For some reason, if you add that, after you install it'll attempt to reinstall KB5010796, but with a "[Corp Intranet Required]" prefix, and it'll never finish downloading.

Including the preview patch of KB5009608 instead, however, work. Why? Again, No clue!

I hate MS!
 
KB5010796 Out of Band is an urgent replacement for KB5009555 Jan '22 CU
KB5009608 Jan '22 Preview supersedes KB5010796

Most users don't bother with Monthly Previews, because they're early access versions of next month's CU.
Unfortunately, Jan '22 CU was pulled (or replaced in WU) with Out of Band. This throws the whole sequence out of whack.

For building a new image, use KB5010796, or simply wait for Feb '22 CU (next week's Patch Tuesday!)

Why does removing SMB break KB5010796? Browse January 17, 2022—KB5010790 (OS Build 14393.4889) Out-of-band
Look for the File Information link and open the CSV.

CU is restoring parts of SMB (but prolly not everything that makes it work).
Microsoft.Uev.SmbSyncProvider.dll
mrxsmb.sys
mrxsmb10.sys
mrxsmb20.sys
SMB.psd1
SmbBandwidthLimitFilter.sys
smbdirect.sys
SMBHelperClass.dll
vmsmb.dll

Now that CU has backfilled some SMB files, you can run licensed NTLite on your live image (host) and remove SMBv1.
