[SOLVED] Windows Defender GUI missing

[francis11]

Using latest NTLITE 2.0.0.7596 on updated Windows 19041.450.
When removing:

<c>biometricservice 'Windows Biometric Service'</c>
<c>Microsoft.BioEnrollment 'BioEnrollment'</c>

seems to break the menu overview in Windows Defender?
Thanks.

Tried again with new preset, integreating latest updates on 19041.1, but still Defender GUI is missing after install. Somehow i think it have something to do with the DISM cleanup feature (Compatible) before removing components after several try and fails. If i dont integrate updates first everything seems fine - still after running NTLITE again to have a minimum install image, now under 5 GB installed without updates, and the Defender GUI present
Thank you.

Protecting/ keeping \Sytem32\winbio.dll when removing biometricservice does the trick.
Then the SecurityHealthService can start and seems to work as normal.
Hope this can help others facing the same issue until fixed.
Thanks.
