Is your feature request related to a problem? The Windows Update installs sevaral appx packages even if you previously removed them from your system.

For Example.

DevHome EdgeUpdate CrossDevice

Describe the solution you'd like Here is a simple snap from my private win deployment orchestrator (wintoes).

Sorry for the blurry image. The PC is airgapped and continue to be for some days. So im stuck with only with my phone.

Additional context The image will show you two registry paths. One in ISO registry (offline) and one Post install (online).

For Online image, Remove the keys from both locations. Otherwise just strip the Oobe. It'll be copied to the long nested one when installing.

Also im working on stripping out some system packages like edge, webview and xbox appx which are rooted into the system. It needs TrustedInstaller to modify those. I'll probaly post that in an another issue and probably come up with a pr after some tests!
