Hello, there is a bug fix and two suggestions

After spending a lot of time testing many components, Removing 'File History' must also remove 'Backup and Recovery' and 'System Recovery'. If "Backup and Recovery" and "System Recovery" are not deleted, the "File History" will still exist after entering the system, even if it is displayed as deleted. Please fix this error. Before negating my conclusions, please test them.

These startup items seem to have not been executed, I guess the first item is Shellbag disabled, what is the second item.

I logged in with an administrator account and ntlite has the highest privileges. These startup items should be provided with easy to understand comments.

Addendum: Removing the 'lock screen wallpaper' in the 'dism+custom' mode will delete the 'C: \ Windows \ Web \ Screen' folder, which does not occur in the 'dism' mode. Please keep this folder in 'dism+custom' mode.

Thanks in advance！

File History is a file recovery feature based on filesystem journals.

Backup and Restore will create a temporary VSS snapshot to freeze data, while it's backing up volumes.
System Restore is a tool for managing shadow copies, and for restoring the Windows volume from a snapshot..

I don't understand your point. File History is filesystem-based, where Windows stores and tracks hidden copies of changed files. VSS (Shadow Copy) is snapshot-based, and tracks changes on the volume (block) level. File History can recover just one file, but restoring to a previous snapshot means rolling back all volume writes made after the restore point.

Those features are not related. W10 can use both File History and VSS as a recovery source.
 
Damn translation, I have adjusted these sentences several times already.
What I mean is, if only "File History" is removed without removing "Backup and Restore" and "System Restore", "File History" still exists, such as the right-click menu "Restore Previous Versions" and the "Historical Versions" of file properties. Equivalent to 'File History' not being removed.
So, if you want to delete 'File History', you must delete 'Backup and Restore' and 'System Restore'.
I couldn't change the system language, so I found two pictures from the Internet. These two images can represent: deleting only "File History" without deleting "Backup and Restore" and "System Restore". This resulted in the file history feature not being removed.

I am very certain that this is a bug and dependency relationship. I conducted extensive testing to verify this bug.

I don't think this is a NTLite issue but more of a windows thing.
 
Strangely, the 'File History' in the control panel has disappeared, but the 'Settings - Update and Security - File Backup' still exists and does not display anything, indicating that ntlite has indeed removed a small portion. There are remnants in the right-click menu and file details. It can be inferred that the purpose of ntlite's actions is to protect "Backup and Restore" and "System Restore". If the 'File History' is completely deleted, it will damage 'Backup and Restore' and 'System Restore'.
Therefore, if you want to delete 'File History', you must delete 'Backup and Restore' and 'System Restore'.
As Taosd said, Windows did not completely separate these two. The measures taken by NTLite are correct.
Can NTLite hide these things? Cannot be deleted, perhaps it can be hidden.
This is a picture translation, it may not be clear, please forgive me.
