1) This will be updated in the next build

2) I will have a look on this and all your reported bugs. Thank you !

3)
a-
1. winsxs backup folder could be executed by winreducer using "Optimizations - Windows - WinSXS Backup Folder Cleanup"
2. If you want to also clean boot.wim, choose "Optimizations - ISO - Boot - Clean Boot Wim"
b- You could clean "winre.wim" using "Accessories - Windows Recovery Environment"
c- For fonts, it's better to use winreducer, because it completely cleans all ressources

4) No worries, go on ! Thank you to have asked ...  

5) Yes, that's really interesting !

Thanks for your attention, sorry it take time for respond it, i need to re-run
WinReducer 8.1 (v1.01 & v1.06) to figure out a suitable presets for my pc, and then
result are:

1) Corrected this caused by REMOVE "Features - Windows Media Player" and for 
   "Features - Windows Media Player" and Multimedia – Codec" it's recommended 
    to KEEP those Components (Not Significantly Reduced Size and caused trouble 
    for Multimedia (Audio & Video) files even installing 3rdparty Windows Codecs ...

2) Still NOT RESOLVED:
   a) KEEP “Accessories – Sticky Notes” : doesn't not work on All WinReducer 8.1 Version
      » Sticky Note: StickyNot.exe - Application Error
      #1: This instruction at 0x008d6d28 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not read.
      #2: Meta Data for some of the note has been corrupt, Sticky Notes has been restored to defaults.
      ##: Could you resolved with "StickyNot.exe - Application Error"
   b) "Tweaks - System - Disable User Account Control (UAC)" is always Enable
      » This tweaks "Doesn't Work" (User Account Control (UAC) is always Enable) ???
      » maybe considering to prevent potentially harmful programs from making changes to computer system, 
      » but anyhow, could you tell me how "this Tweaks" Work Again??? 
        so i preferred WinReducer8.1_v1.0 (OPTIONAL)
   c) Can "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSXS Cleanup" without Break ""Enabling feature(s) NetFx3" ???
      » ! Enabling feature(s) NetFx3: 99.8% with Error: 126
      * REMOVED "Optimizations - EXPERT - Net Framework Cleanup"
        Save Space at least ± 64 MB (67.747.901 bytes)
      * REMOVED "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSXS Cleanup"
        Save Space at least ± 145 MB (152.212.946 bytes)

3) a-1. It's more smaller size if deletes manually with "Unlocker" before run WinReducer 8.1 ...
   
   a-2. boot.wim (also install.wim) more smaller if "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSXS Cleanup" Enabled.
   Unfortunately, Break "Enabling feature(s) .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)"
   Enabling feature(s): NetFx3
   [===========================99.8%========================= ]
   Error: 126
   ! It seem reversed information for: * Correctly if wrong ???
     "Optimizations - EXPERT - Net Framework Cleanup"
     "Optimizations - EXPERT - WinSXS Cleanup"
     
   b- It Break Windows 8.1 Update and Recovery » Recovery » Advanced Startup » Troubleshooting [REMOVED]
   so i deleted manual "winre.wim" and KEEP "Accessories - Windows Recovery Environment"
   ! "Windows Recovery Environment" Important for FiX Computer (PC) system Crashed ...
   
   c- For fonts, it's better to use winreducer, because it completely cleans all ressources
   That's right. Unfortunately, it  also cleans "Advanced Startup Options" dependency fonts (No Text Option?)
   so i recopying (patching) "segmono_boot.ttf, segoen_slboot.ttf, segoe_slboot.ttf" (dependency fonts)
   to ""%MOUNT_DiR%\Windows\Boot\Fonts" and BUG Resolved ...
   
4) & 5) I really appreciate thanks for it ...
