Windows CI installs more than minimal profile

[bluss]

Problem

Hey, I found this issue in github actions / CI - i don't otherwise use rustup on windows, so I don't know if this is a known behaviour.

Using rustup toolchain install stable --profile minimal --no-self-update is installing clippy and rustfmt, that doesn't seem like a minimal profile?

Steps

1. Using dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master in github actions
2. Workflow file https://github.com/bluss/pyproject-local-kernel/actions/runs/8410733408/workflow relevant part: tests-windows using dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master
3. Workflow run https://github.com/bluss/pyproject-local-kernel/actions/runs/8410733408/job/23029524321

Is this a duplicate of #3709?

[bluss]

It's not duplicating that issue in any way that I can see at least. In my case there is no error or failure, it installs and runs, just installs too many components.

@bluss The thing here is that GitHub Actions has Rustup preinstalled with stable Rust minimal + Rustfmt + Clippy (https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/Windows2022-Readme.md#packages), so I'll say it's not really an actionable thing on our side.

And yes, if you have stable preinstalled then specifying a smaller profile while updating is a no-op.

Oh, that's a reasonable explanation, thanks for the pointer. I'm fine with closing this then if you want to.
