That uses the full windows registry hive (from the windows installation part) whereas leaving it unchecked uses the winre's registry hive with some parts from the windows installation part, necessary for the various features of the win10xpe. I think a while back ago, maybe longer than that there was a time when there was some advantage in using it but not now.

Thanks for the info...

Hello

Lately I tried to add some things to my Win10PESE project from 2019 and found that additional software could not be downloaded. Then I found out that theoven.org and cwcodes.net are down more or less.
So also my Win10PESE project seems a bit dead...

I somehow found this topic from Kyhi, with the project Win10XPE and am deciding now if I will start all over again with this new project. It looks familiar (and cleaner?) but I miss things.

I was used to view my ISO's in VMware workstation, a quick way to test the iso and investigate programs.
In Win10PESE there was a VirtualTest option with Best emulation and if enabled it would find VMWare Workstation and start a VM with the ISO.
I created a VM and mounted the ISO and started the VM, and got a skewed screen. In the old Win10PESE project VMWare tools were not involved, so I don't think the problem lies with vmware display drivers.
With some effor I can click the PECMD2012 icon in the systray and select several resolution options (unreadable, so hit and miss) untill the sceen gets properly visible.

After spending hours to try and find out why I get a skewed screen when running the ISO in a VM, I would like to ask here if anyone has a clue where to look for.

Anyway, thanks to those making these WinBuilder projects available, great setup!

Regards, Han

Hi, I have just read your post, to me, whenever I got that problem, I always check this from VMWare:

Hi, I don't know what I will do. The Win10XPE requires up to 2004 (20H1) and I have an 21H1 disk.

?? can you not just download the 20H1 iso from TechBench
