[How To] Remove Windows Backup before it is installed in win 10 ..

[Ghost]

.. by using DISM and mounting the win 10 image OR NTlite and removing the package below. I was greeted with no Windows Backup after a clean install and letting windows choke on updates, I was like huh, wait what LOL. SO I am going to test this again as I removed IE, windows media player and a few other things along with removing the below package.

This is win 10 IoT vanilla being used

Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1266
State : Installed
Release Type : OnDemand Pack
Install Time : 10/6/2021 1:56 PM

I have confirmed that it works, as I just removed the package in above post ONLY, committed image and VM tested after chocking on updates no Windows Backup was installed or found!

This also decreases the size of the end results of the vanilla .wim , system prep a vanilla and you will get Windows Backup, if you remove the package before doing anything else or removing more useless stuff it is even better results.

EDIT = I feel I am missing something in win 11 also, I will check and report back if I can find more to make win 11 just a bit better.
