I unadvertedly updated to 24H2 - it was late and I thought it was just another KB update, my bad.
After several reboots I ran NTLite to remove reinstalls. I waited for it to self-update to the latest NTLite version first.
But no matter how I try, it won't find any reinstalled items to remove.
"No files removed" is clearly stated after the process queue is finished.
I don't believe its' the case as it's a major version upgrade, so there must be some previously removed items that have been reinstalled.
Is this a known issue with 24H2?

If it's not the case and this is just a new version of windows and NTLite doesn't know what to do with it, is there a way to use a previously saved build presets to tell NTLite what to remove?
I really wouldn't want to de-bloat 24H2 and reinstall everything...
 
Right, 23H2 to 24H2 is not just a KB Update as you noted, it's a complete reinstall.

You can either configure C:\Windows directly with NTLite and the same preset, or edit another 24H2 image and do a Host Refresh (in-place update) to remove components from it.
 
Thank you, that explains it.

Which of the two options would allow me to keep all programs and apps as they are without having to re-install non-windows apps manually?

Also, is bitlocker going to be disabled or reset?
