AMURICA!

Better to ask the autounattend.xml file's source as it seems isn't generated by NTLite, Not a nice reply btw:There is no Invariant locale in the picker.
If you force <InputLocale> in a preset to 007f:00000409, NTLite loads it as "US | 00000409" and saves it as 0409:00000409.
Unless it was updated by an outside source, or Auto-fill is copying it from the host -- I don't see it happening.

007f:00000409 was the only one that wasn't English from another country, so I thought that it was for the US. I even tried removing the unattended file but still ran into the same error. So I've removed 007f:00000409 and some other things from the Preset, and added some things I'd forgotten about. Virtualbox to the rescue to find that out. Also, I've integrated those drivers before and it wasn't an issue. I went ahead and downloaded a new ISO with Rufus, loaded my preset (spent hours fixing things and resaving it ️), and created a new ISO. Went off without a hitch in my virtual testing.
I'm about to reinstall Windows 10 afresh since Hellbovine's Optimized Image Guide broke something in Windows explorer and maybe a couple of other things. Something in the registry files I'm just too dumb to suss out, so I couldn't figure out how to fix some of the choices he made. Though I am taking his advice to stick to Windows 10 21H2 as 22H2 just messed with things whch really frustrated me. I forget why I even moved to it to begin with last year. Something about "bug" fixes and "performance improvements", I think.
Maybe someday Windows 11 will get it together, like maybe after Microsoft FIRES its current development team. I've been awake too long, so I think I'm beginning to ramble.
Thanks for the help, everyone! Just for fun, I'm attaching my slightly better preset below.
I can almost guarantee it's not anything in my reg files. You're removing a lot of components and adding your own tweaks, that's far more likely the issue with File Explorer. You can easily replicate if my guide is the problem by making the image exactly as I laid out and seeing if your File Explorer issues and other bugs persist. If they don't, that's a good indicator it was some other tweak. This could even be a 22H2 problem, they're still working on the bugs several months later, and more keep being added. Myself and many others have been using this guide for over a year now, without a single confirmed problem. The only edit I made in this time, was to add a new reg key to prevent Microsoft from forcibly downloading a display driver....broke something in Windows explorer and maybe a couple of other things...

</RemoveComponents>
I don't know, sorry, my component knowledge is limited. I spent all my time learning the registry and other things instead. I do plan on doing a deep dive on removals eventually, it's just further down on my to-do list. I did notice that you have a duplicate in your XML. Do you think you may have made this error, or is this perhaps a bug that should be reported?Mind checking the removal list below and warn me about anything that should stay?
The comments in the files contain a lot of info, and some of it might not be intuitive for people just starting out, but it wouldn't be practical for me to write a full explanation on each setting because then the files would be filled with information overload, so I had to settle on a design that kept the documentation short.Does this mean Storage Sense will auto-delete files or does it disable it?
I have no mouth, and I must scream!
This won't happen if the proper procedures are being followed. Are you trying to add the registry files on a live install, instead of integrating them into the image? If so, this will occur. Also, quite a few tweaks will not function at all if you do it this way, they must be integrated because of how some keys specifically work, they only "activate" on a clean install....Had a little trouble getting permissions in the registry editor...
