I loaded attached preset and made an image but when the system installed and then right click on an item/file and select "open with" pop-up screen does not show file picker window. Nothing happens when clicked on "try an app on this pc" link.
Tried many combinations but nothing. İmage is not altered anyway. Just updated to build 19044.7663.
Please have look at my preset and if you find the responsible component tell me.
Image is Windows 10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 19044.7663
Thanks in advance.

I'm removing all the components from your preset, except

Code:
<c>em 'Windows Setup EULA Mitigation (EM)'</c>
I don't have with the Pro (or already removed from the image)

Code:
<c>targetedcontent 'Targeted Content Service'</c>
I can't remember why I'm keeping it

And all good for "Open with..." option
 
You're welcome
This component was listed as necessary for Settings on W10 at the time (it works on W11 whithout it)
To see if that's the cause.

Code:
<c>targetedcontent 'Targeted Content Service'</c>
 
And when you test it with all the components, does it work properly ?
Yeah, everything works flawlessly.
By the way I applied the preset (with the components you've told) to 19041.1288 base image "open with..." worked. I think something with the latest update changed the mechanisim.
 
I'll test it on Windows 11 and the latest Preview to see.
No problem with the August CU.

But we had the problem a while ago, though it wasn't related to a component you removed (it was linked to CBS, if I remember correctly, where Microsoft had modified this function).
 
I narrowed down to these components
Code:
    <RemoveComponents AppRemovalMode="DISM">
        <c>3daudio 'Spatial Sound (3D Audio)'</c>
    </RemoveComponents>

Removing only one component broke that menu.
Then I reintegrated updates and build ISO. After that I reapplied one component removal script and tested in a VM and now "open with ..." menu works.
But there was a catch on W10UI side: I did not enable Cleanup and Resetbase options. I think that was the culprit breaking that functionality.
 
Tested with Preview and no problem, probably only with Windows 10.
Yeah W10 and 11 different. I didn't have any problems with W11 too with this preset, but W10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 build 19044.7663 doesn't like.
After testing about 30 ISO images in VM I found the culprit.
nuhi Removing <c>paint</c> (64 Bit) from Resetbase applied 19044.7663 image breaks Right Click > "Open with..." menu.
Removing only <c>paint32 'Paint - 32 bit'</c> of mentioned component doesn't hurt. If resetbase applied, removing any of components ( even if <c>paint</c> kept in the image ) within above preset breaks Right Click > "Open with..." menu. I tested all of them and the result was always the same.
If someone encounters the same problem like me now knows what causes the problem.
Thanks all for the contributions they have made.
