While some components everyone agrees are "safe" to remove, beyond that there's no universal answer. Most "gaming" presets aren't written for a specific set of games, rather recipes to disable/remove unneeded Windows services and event logging to reduce system overhead. I used a software that I won't name here which removed much of the apps after the Windows installation and that worked fine but I assumed this would be better. I just want a lean system without all this garbage. So I just use Xbox Game Pass, Epic, Steam, GOG, EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar etc. I don't want to spend several days only to make an image that doesn't even function. And then I have to Google search those items which are tied to other items and it makes it way too confusing. If I remove one item, it's tied to other items. I don't mind that but the Google searches aren't telling me everything. I tried to Google search every single item one at a time which would take several days.

Is there a gaming iso preset somewhere? I only understand the function of maybe 5% of the items that I can remove. Before I purchased the software, I did a Google search to see if there were presets with the software and it said there was. This is much more complicated than I'd initially thought.
