Could anyone suggest which components to keep when creating a new machine with NtLite that will allow it to receive Cumulative Updates from Microsoft?

I have two PCs with Windows 10 LTSC IoT 2021 lightened with NtLite, and I initially installed the October 2025 CU (KB5066791) on both.
Both PCs have received the next cumulative update that brings the Windows 10 version to 19044.6809

Now, the new CU, KB5075912, won't install, even though I didn't make any changes in live mode.
I've tried installing it several times, but to no avail.

I should point out that I initially used the compatible dism, not the custom one.

So I believe I used an initial preset that removed too many components from the image, preventing future cumulative updates.
For your information, I only used the presets provided by NtLite marked in green and those in blue, but keeping the components needed for Windows update as you can see below , an image of my current distributed system:

I'd like to avoid having to perform a host refresh every month and be able to install cumulative updates and then clean the PCs in live mode.

Thanks to anyone (including Nuhi, of course) who can suggest a preset that allows this.
 
You can already check if Windows Update is checked in Components - Compatibility (to protect necessary components).

As said above this works if you have it checked. I check the ones I want and is important to me and it greys them out

As you can see, I have maintained Windows Update compatibility.
 
And if you try to install with the .msu file ?

Several users seem to be having problems.

Hi tistou77, yes i've try few days ago.
This is a extract from the preset autosaved:

<Packages>
<Options>
<CleanHotfixedLeftovers>1</CleanHotfixedLeftovers>
</Options>
<File>D:\Swapdirectory\NtLite\aggiornamenti\10.21H2.x64\windows10.0-kb5075912-x64_861d087079f7dc695d8c61a83edca82ce6039d7d.msu</File>
</Packages>
 
Ah, you tried with NTLite, I only saw it with Windows Update.
Testing directly with the .msu file under Windows (Standalone) should produce the same problem.

You're not the only one with this issue, it seems.
See if the link above can help.

I have had issues before with updates even when checked in compatibility for windows updates. This is usually when I have updated the system fully then do my removals.

I just thought hey will just leave them till I cannot leave them anymore and reinstall windows. This usually happens when the system cannot install my programs anymore. Doesn't happen very often however.

As long as my windows store works then I am all good since there is a few programs I use from there and don't feel the need to monkey my way to manually installing them.

If it gets figured out which one it is eventually I will then keep it but till then I would rather have my updates turned off and not worry.
