How can you Remove Indexing

I work a lot with Nlite, Customizing my windows 10 ISO for a Clean and Less Bloated Installation.
One of the things I have never been able to remove is Indexing, let me explain.
On a clean install if you go to Computer/c:/drive/properties/general, there is a box at the bottom that says ( allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to the properties ).
Now when you tick that box and apply it , it can take some time to apply.
So what I am after is to find a way to enable that setting in the ISO so that after windows is installed, that setting is already done.
Disabling windows Search in Services doesn't alter it.
Now lets not get into a discussion as to why one would want to disable Indexing, But it is something I have always done, And it does make your PC Perform Better.
Any help would be appreciated.

1. Mount the image somewhere (I mean the wim or esd file)

2. Access the root of the mount point

3. Open a command prompt and run this:

attrib +i /d /s

4. Unmount the image and save the changes

My Image is an ISO , How do I Apply your Fix

Don't know for the ISO Tweaker or the ISO tweak you ask. Ccleaner removes bloatware.

-Control Panel/Indexing Options/Deselect All/Manually in modify

-C:/Properties/General/Allow files on the drive to have conten indexed in addition to file properties=Deselect + Disk Cleanup.

Somewhere inside that iso must be a *.wim or *.esd file. For example let's say you mounted your iso file in e: drive.

e:\sources\install.wim
e:\sources\install.esd

You create a temporary folder to mount your wim or esd file:

c:\test

You use this command to find out the index number of the Windows 10 version you want to change:

Dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:E:\sources\install.esd

You use this command to mount the image on c:\test:

Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:E:\sources\install.wim /index:<indexnumber> /mountdir:C:\test

* change <indexnumber> with the index you memorized previously

I don't remember how long it takes to mount the image maybe 10 minutes or so. When it is mounted you open a command prompt go into C:\test and do the attrib command

attrib +i /d /s

Now you update the image with:

Dism /unmount-wim /montdir:C:\test /commit

Now you use the files on e: to make a new iso by using imgburn or another iso creating software you like, but make sure you make it bootable.

Thanks for that, I'm rather busy but I will try it out in a few days and get back to you.

@Ztruker Try to extract the content of the iso before mounting. I remembered that everything inside the iso is readonly so maybe it's this.
