[FEATURE PROPOSAL] integrate wim tweaks in DT

[ibay770]

This software unhides packages in the WIM so they can be removed, I am not sure if DT has that feature yet.

Thanks in advance.

@ibay770, are you talking about CBSEnum? This is the first thing that comes to mind

There was another software called install wim tweak, sorry the link didn't go through, but
I think cbsenum did the same thing.

Software like CBSEnum or the one you provided can unhide certain components in the component store that the operating system may require.

If I ever implement this, it will most likely be available as an external tool, not as a feature integrated into tasks such as package removal.

I have that thought process because novice users can look at all the packages, attempt to remove them, and break their shiny Windows image. This is worse if I implement this for active installations of Windows. What is worse: ...

• ...breaking a Windows image out of the box? Or...
• ...breaking a Windows installation that someone may have used for a while?

Consequences like these make an end-user reconsider whether to do those things in the first place.

In case you're wondering, these are components that may not break UI parts of the OS, since modern versions of Windows are now relying on AppX packages for more things, but components that, for example, let someone update their system. You could say that CBS has been one of the beauties of Windows since Vista.
