Script: Removing Edge from Windows 11 ISO
This is a Follow-up to my old Edge removal using wintoolkit. In this video I'll go into detail both Code and the script involved using Dism powershell modules.
The script is still a Work In progress so it will be rough around the edges. ESD need image isn't supported and final ISO generation will be added in future.
@memstechtips and @Britec09 can suggest some changes or tips which can be added to Winhance which is more complete tool to customized windows ISO.
