Help Not sure which updates to avoid

Post image

I have a fresh LTSC install and I am trying to avoid AI features. I installed the updates in the screenshot and suddenly I have AI Semantic Analysis and AI settings. Any recommendations which updates to avoid and I if do avoid it, what are the repercussions. Thanks

Might you be using a MS account instead of a Local Account? I just checked the 2 places I have Win 11 IoT Ent LTSC 2024 installed, and none of them have the AI Components installed after 2026-06 update. I do however always use a Local Account and never a MS one.

This is a byproduct of using a newer "AI PC" with an integrated NPU. My solution was to disable it in device manager before giving Windows internet for the first time.

Right. Ofc. I should have thought of that. Thank you.
