    If you're less technical (not into coding), then try Chris Titus' winutil:
    GitHub - ChrisTitusTech/winutil: Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility - Install Programs, Tweaks, Fixes, and Updates

    It may not be the best in features, but he gets a lot of user engagement (feedback) and as a public figure pushing his projects -- has to accept more accountability. His project appears to be growing at a steady rate.

    There are a lot of them and which one to trust. That's why I was soliciting suggestions.
    I’ve been using Windows 10 Decrapifier for clean installs for more than 5 years now and it’s never caused any problems, even though I’ve made several additions to the script.

    What I like most about it is that it works on the .DEFAULT account template… so *all* new accounts use the same settings and I don’t have to run debloater tools for each account. I’ve tried several PowerShell debloater scripts and still find Windows 10 Decrapifier to be the best, particularly for returning full control with minimal CPU/disk/network usage *very* quickly after startup by reducing some of the scheduled tasks set to trigger at logon. It's now been updated for Windows 11.

    Hope this helps...

    I used a script (AME10) to remove Internet Explorer in a new installation of Windows 10 LTSC but now I found out there's a program I want to use that won't install without the Internet Explorer backend engine (it doesn't need the actual browser part of IE). Is there any way to reinstall just that part of IE? Or if not how would I reinstall IE completely? The only packages I've found in the Microsoft Update Catalog are for Windows 7, 8 & Server.
    ================
    Contrary to what many people think IE was not uninstalled by Microsoft it was simply totally disabled and any attempt to open it simply went to Edge

    However as Microsoft said in their release regarding IE

    Microsoft is choosing to permanently disable IE11 rather than remove it because IE mode relies on IE11 to function. Without Trident -- IE's engine, which is also known as MSHTML -- IE mode no longer works. It cautions users against uninstalling IE11.
    With respect you have created a problem for yourself that need not have existed.

    ===================================
    and before trying such tweaks as you have - my advice although now too late is
    COMPLETE system image.

    The when you make a change that you then realise was not a good idea
    - YOU do not have a problem. You simply restore the image.

    I hope you do not take objection to that advice. It is meant to save you problems in the future.

    OP's creating a new customized install image. There is nothing that needs to be backed up, and restored. Many image modding scripts or toolkits exist, but not all of them provide the users with complete editing control.

    I know there is NOT now anything that needs to be backed up and restored

    The point I was making was that if he had made a complete image before he deleted IE - he would not have a problem

    AME10 is an image modding tool which takes a clean ISO and outputs a debloated image, using a canned playbook. What would you be backing up? The original Windows ISO?

    We're talking about experimenting with clean installs. If you're modding a live system that's been in use for a while, your advice to backup would be most relevant. Modders who play in this field know the price for messing up the mods, is typically reinstalling with another revised image.
