Using NTLite to strip Windows but keeping Microsoft Store?

Hey, I am asking for help because I've stripped alot of the unneccesary things I don't need from Windows out but I've left Windows Store in (including Xbox app) and even though I leave them in when I click MStore it just doesn't open.

Is there anyway I can find out specifically everything I must leave on/enable for the Store to work?

Any help would be great, thank you!
 
Next time make sure to keep Windows Store and Windows Update compatibility options enabled in Components - toolbar - Compatibility.
Before any removals.

If you don't want to reinstall completely, try the Host Refresh method.

I don't mind reinstalling completely so I think I'll do that. So I check all Xbox apps, Windows Store, StorePurchaseApp, Browser Brokers, I cannot find Windows Update compatability options in components, any ideas? Thanks again.

EDIT: Oh wait I found it. I'll give it a go thanks again! Is there anything else I need to check or is that all?

I've done that and set it up to with dual boot, but whenever I click login on MStore or the Xbox app nothing happens. I can keep clicking but still nothing - any ideas?
 
If you didn't make a lot of settings, i will restart from fresh and be sure to go to Compatibility first and only uncheck carefully what you don't need.
Then start doing your settings everywhere else.
 
zig, if you have a preset which on original ISO breaks Store with Store compatibility enabled, please attach or send to me for review.
Note that sometimes user disables certain needed Services, try without that in case you do.
Thanks.
 
I recommend reading this topic: Is it 'Safe to remove'?

AAD Broker plugin
Azure Active Directory plugin, is needed for Windows Store Sign in and/or app installs (free apps can be installed without signing in) and depends on Azure Active Directory (used and needed for Ms services).

Try to keep AAD Broker plugin and Azure Active Directory if you removed them.
