ntlite customization

NTLite customization refers to the process of modifying Windows installation images using NTLite, a tool that allows users to remove or disable components before the operating system is installed. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight NTLite v2026, which adds the ability to remove AI-related components from Windows 11 25H2 images, such as Copilot and Recall. This reflects a growing desire among users to control Windows defaults and reduce unwanted features. NTLite customization is often used for debloating, streamlining, or tailoring Windows for specific needs, and it is seen as a more thorough alternative to post-installation tweaks.
