On Saturday I used a guide: How to Create a Custom Windows 11 Install Disk, With Only the Features You Need. This guide told me to remove components you don't need and keep the ones you do. It worked fine except that I accidentally took out too many things. That broke some features that were important to me. I tried again with the same goal but uupdump.net went down for a few days. I tried lots of different ISOs, including using my computer's local network to make a script from uupdump.net and trying mirrors like https://www.uupdump.cn/ or https://www.upee/. Every time I tried to remove internet features with the MSMG toolkit, they all had an asterisk (*) on them and couldn't be marked for removal. Is anyone who does this know what I am doing wrong? Thanks a lot!

Thank you. That helps me have something to try. I also asked people. I hope someone finds out what the problem is.

You might also use NTLite, because it lets you take out parts of the disc inside your camera.
