Essential components, features and services for Windows 11

[sheikh]

I want to remove/disable these parts of Windows 11 24H2, which of them are vital and essential for a simple daily usage?
I use Office, Print to PDF, Wi-Fi for web browsing, VPN, Bluetooth for my Mouse, some engineering apps, music and video player (AIMP, VLC) and nothing more.
Attached my preset.
Also have a question. Why I can't disable "AppReadiness" and "CDPUserSvc" service in NTLite?
Thanks.

For the most part, this list of disabled services is safe except for:

Microsoft\Windows\CloudExperienceHost\CreateObjectTask

This task must be enabled during install; and can be safely disabled after your user account has been provisioned (logged on).

You really shouldn't disable Time Sync tasks. When your Windows clock begins to drift beyond a few minutes, SSL will stop working with external websites.

Always deleted this and never had a problem with websites, even with a 2, 3 minute lag on my laptop after a year of use
Maybe it appears after more time

This CreateObjectTask seems to appears to be what automatically adapts Windows Accent Colors to current wallpaper (Accent color option on Automatic)
Having no change of wallpaper, I have not tested/verified

 

[garlin]

This task is required for OOBE, which we know you always skip in Unattended mode.

 

[tistou77]

Yes and ?

 

[garlin]

Yes and ?

You typically answer "Always deleted this" to reflect your personal modding.

But that doesn't provide the correct advice for users who don't follow the same path. OOBE's dependency on CreateObjectTask was discussed as far back as in Clanger's time.

But what are you talking about ?! You mix everything up
I always point out that it's for MY use. If you didn't understand this meaning, it's not my fault

And in this thread, I also indicated for what CreateObjectTask was useful, and no case he should delete it....
And I'm not deleting this task....

And for

Always deleted this and never had a problem with websites, even with a 2, 3 minute lag on my laptop after a year of use

Thinking about it for 2 seconds, everyone understood that it was for Time Sync tasks
And therefore no relation to CreateObjectTask

Anyway, all this is not going to help the poster of the topic
