How to create my own Custom Windows 11 ISO without bloatware - modifying original MS ISO?
NTLite. Yes, it costs money, but it seems to be the most feature packed option out there. You can use the free version which has limited functionality. However, you will be able to see what you can do with the app. It cost almost $43 USA Dollars.

Best tool i've found is MSMG Toolkit, your able to make a bare bone ISO, but be careful on what you uncheck

What exactly do you consider bloatware. Most people consider it to be all the added manufacturer crap that a manufacturer puts on a new machine. Any iso you download from MS will NOT have any of that.

Yep - tthe whole MS is bloatware issue is so tedious. Who cares if pc has a few extra GBs of storage space used on size of modern drives, amd most of the MS apps easily uninstalled anyway. I have tested these so called lite versions and they do not improve performance at all.

Right. Use Windows or don't rather than trying to chop it into pieces and then expecting it to work as it should. Use something else if you don't like it as it's been designed.

Aren't there some MS installed apps that not only startup but run services (Skype comes to mind) or what if someone doesn't want OneDrive?
I can see some valid reasons to customize some, but I'll admit the Tiny10 and Tiny11 are just too stripped down for my personal tastes.

Yes, but easily uninstalled or disabled from startup, and not that many of them. On a clean install, it takes no more than 5 minutes to do it.

Even on old and slow computers I prefer to install the full version and then disable some features I don't need to make it faster. Any time I need a feature I just enable it. Go at Task Manager, click bottom left to show more, go at Startup section and uncheck the boxes of the applications you want to disable. Go to Settings, Accessibility, Visual Effects and disable Transparency and fades. Then go to Settings, System, Info, Advanced System Settings. Go at Performance tab and uncheck all useless visual effects such as animations, fades. The computer should be much faster.
