Challenge with 19h1 and NTlite

[francis11]

Have installed all updates and run preset to 19H2 for removals. Afterwards I re-open my offline image with the same preset and NTLite finds points under SETTINGS that should be corrected (2020-04-11 183354). Runs NTlite again and checks if everything is as it should be = ok.
Installs Windows 19H2 and checks WU which installs drivers and Defender updates - restart and search again on WU = nothing, so everything seems fine.
Installing applications, the new EDGE Chrome, etc.
Searching again actively on WU and this time WU downloads and installs the latest update 18363,753 again to get LCU (cumulative update cache) installed which takes up about 780 MB on the SSD.
Removes it again online (2020-04-11 185920) - but WU just reinstalls the latest update only to have LCU installed!?!
According to NTlite explanation, upgrading to another Windows version (Ent., Edu.?) can take place!?!
I don't need to change Windows version, so is there an option to prevent LCU from being reinstalled via WU?

Thanks for any help on this.

Hi,

interesting findings, did you confirm that keeping LCU component there was no CU offered by the WU after some usage?
I'll investigate if it's possible to disable LCU requirement.

Thanks.

Just tried out with updated NTlite 1.9.0.7428 and Windows 18363.778 after this weeks montly.
After updated 19H1 and then run my preset ADM, there's no LCU tick for removal but there's still some random settings reapplied.
I've some idea about the settings reapplied is caused coz i've implemented some GPO settings as well in the offline image before it's sysprepped as a basic image.
After install, WU only find drivers and Defender updates after several WU runs, and then i've try apply my preset online (i find thats a better solution for me instead of remove reinstalls after monhtly updates) and find again random reapplied settings (that's why i think it's maybe coz of my GPO settings where some may overlap (haven't checked that coz of hundreds of settings in GPO applied).
So somehow the updated NTlite and this weeks WU updates seems to correct something??? L
CU don't seem to appear for tick off both offline after integration of updates and online. Weird
Attached some pics for LCU don't show after updates and the random settings reapplied after second preset run offline and online.

PS. Is it possible you can find time to implement the removal of Windows-Defender-AM-Default-Definitions-Package, as it would reduce offline image app. 100 mb and WU anyway install latest def. updates online. For now i use WimTweak on the mounted image, but it would be nice NTlite can take care of this to.

Thanks for listen.
