[ANSWERED] [1.9.8.0] Does winreducer breaks cumulative update?

Hi,

I haven't used this tool for quite a while. From my experience with the previous versions, removing almost any component at all would cause the installation of cumulative updates to fail, due to a corrupted component store, even when I don't enable "cleanup WinSxS". Doesn't matter how essential the removed components are, and I always enable "protect Windows Update". If I remember correctly, this is simply because how cumulative update works: they check for components, if they are not there, the update installation fail. 

However, I've seen in the changelog for version 1.9.7.0: "- FIX : Error with Windows Cumulative Updates installation using "Windows Updates" after Windows installation"

Does this mean I can remove anything I want now and updates would carry on as usual? NTLite has this feature starting from 1.4.0.5525, so I'm wondering if winreducer can do this too.

Hello,

Yes, the cumulative updates could be used with an installed WinReduced O.S. since v1.9.7.0 ... but take care to do not use "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSxS Folder Cleanup (install.wim)"

I wish you to have a nice day !

Thank you very much, I truly appreciate your great work!!!!!
