Network Discovery notifications?

Hi, I removed a lot of things from my Win10 22H2 ISO so far, in particular I removed Windows Push Notification Service (the whole tree). Yet, when at the first boot I plug the ethernet cable for the first time, I am still getting an annoying right-side notification. Sorry I don't know which is the proper word for it, whether "toast" or whatever else... I mean, a large blue banner as tall as the whole screen, which slides in from the right side, asking whether I want to allow the PC being discovered or something like that.
What else should I remove to prevent such annoying notifications ? I don't want to compromise the operation of the network status icon of course, if possible.
Clearly, the problem is not much that notification per se, but the fear I could get more similar notifications eventually.
My preset attached. Thx

I have already removed all those since beginning !
If I have to trust NTL Search box, I have no #?Experience#? or #?Inbox#? crap left :(
Still puzzled...
 
My misstake testing your preset on 23H2 where theres a lot more InboxApps.
Tested your build 19045.5198 today and can't find anything removed should course the fly out.
So maybe have to look what's keept.
For instance you seem to be domain joined and problem arised as connect to the internet.
Just to shrink the "problem" and maybe a Service or two need to be set.
You can't remove all right wing fly outs as they're determined by Windows aka WaaS = Windows As A Service.
Soon as get connected to the internet - cloudservers from MS is speaking so to say.
 
From your Step3g preset i think a lot of problems can arise as you don't use Compatibility (upper left in Components section of NTL) and therefore delete a lot of needed (red marked) components normally gets protected to have a working Windows which other members have experienced over the years.
 
Sorry but the most one can expect doing as I do is breaking compatibility or ending up with some non working components, that's why I always stressed that I do so under my total responsibility and I will never blame NTL in case of issues.
But this is actually the OPPOSITE: I am still left with something unwanted after having removed an insane amount of things !
 
Something is maybe not durable as how Windows work.
So advice is to nail the problem down section vice in NTL starting with SYSTEM and REMOTING and PRIVACY and check components removed by accident.
It cost some time making a lot of images for testing and same time a learning proces.
Have 832 removals using my perfected preset over years in W10 (877 in W11) and still working as expected.

Click to expand...
"Toasts" are the small notification boxes that pop up from the right-hand corner of the taskbar.

But the Network Location Wizard automatically opens up whenever a new network is found. It's a separate nag, managed by:
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NewNetworkWindowOff]

There's no reg value underneath it. The key's existence stops Network Location Wizard from running.
