in order to understand if and where he can go wrong...

Prepared with NTLITE, ISO W11 Ent. updated to the latest CU [kb5008215] and, among other things (see preset + autounattended), eliminated "Windows Web Experience Package"; installed by this new PC ISO.

At the first start I see 2 things:

1) if I check Windows Update it shows KB5008215 again,
2) if System check presents me as "present and active" Windows Web Experience Package (see screen).

Where am I wrong?

Thank you

I tried to remove - immediately after installation - Windows Web Experience Pack via PowerShell (Run As Administrator) with the following command:

dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package... ​

both on windows 10 Ent. 21h2 and on that PC (from above ISO) Windows 11 Ent.

1) On Windows 10 it was removed without further problems
2) On Windows 11 (apparently without any warning / error messages) I found myself - without having changed anything else - the Start Menu aligned to the Left but above all with the Start Menu completely "dead" = not clickable and unchangeable and therefore clearly with the PC inoperable.

This second occurrence makes me think that something about Windows 11 is not correctly / completely set by NTLITE.

Then maybe I keep making mistakes ...
 
This isn't NTLite's fault.

W11 CU now includes a newer Client.CBS package. What you wanted is to integrate CU, then remove Client.CBS after integration.
This works for your installed image, but is pointless. Every new CU will restore Client.CBS on update.

Web Experience Pack was released for W10 as an optional package. The same bundle is not "optional" for W11, it includes Start Menu and other functions. Why is all this confusing? Because those features were a Preview in W10, and now mandatory.

Leave Client.CBS alone if you want a normal desktop.

What you say is perfectly logical but then you are saying not to remove, in NTLITE "Windows Web Experience Pack"... Right???

Tnx
