I am very embarrassed but being still a beginner I really ignore this aspect, please try to be patient with me and don't make me feel even more uncomfortable 
I really haven't understood how updates work yet. I tried to read the guide and help sections but that didn't help, evidently I still miss the A-B-C...
Any link/tutorial which explains their logic to newbies btw ?
As a premise, my goal and my strict policy is disabling updates, I don't care of them, I don't care of security, I always disable them eradicating any updating component or service, I want to start with the most up-to-date ISO already, cos I am not going to update in later in ANY way (most of my machines are meant to have blocked Internet access in the router firewall for security reasons).
I downloaded my Win10 22H2 ISO from uupdump, enabling the option to include updates, since I (kind of) understood there you can get an already up-to-date image.
But I fail to understand if these entities called "updates" are already integrated/applied (patched or whatever) or they are just included, and they get applied by NTL or rather by Windows itself during the installation stage (this is where I miss the A of the A-B-C).
Fact is, when I load my Win10 ISO in NTL to start tweaking, in the Updates page I see a long list of updates in the right box, some are labeled "staged", some "installed". And I don't know if this is the list of the updates included in the ISO or whatever else (this is where I miss the B of the A-B-C).
At this point, I am unsure whether I have to add anything manually in the left box ("Add") or things are rather automatic. As a fact, when I press Apply->Process, I don't see any "update" operation in the list of the tasks performed (or to be performed). Also, when I proceed to physically install the ISO on the target test machine, at the first stages of the installer (those with the % of completion on the right) I noticed "Applying updates...", and I am not sure if the included updates are actually applied at this stage, or whatever else.
Now, I realized that at boot I have a service which I removed (the service is Global Desktop Spotlight), which (if I don't go wrong) should originate from Windows Features Experience Pack, which I have REMOVED ! Thus, I suspect a relevant update is applied later, which nullifies my removal. And then I fear a same thing may happen to many other tweaks/removals !!!
Also, somewhere I read (or was told, IDR) to proceed in a certain way, i.e to first apply updates, then apply tweaks. Well, this is really where I miss the C of the A-B-C. I don't know how to apply updates in a separate stage. Again, keep bearing patience with me. If I invoke Tools / Install Updates it looks like NTL is rather trying to install updates to my host OS and not to the ISO I am working on, which is something I do not want (I don't want NTL to tamper with the host machine !!!) - Ok this is the D I miss from the A-B-C.
Well, if somebody (a Saint ?) with enough patience can help me figure out these basic topics, I would be grateful ^_^
