Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media

Kyhi said:

I get a lot of questions about adding drivers to downloaded ISO's
At one time we used ModifyPESE to mount and modify the ISO's Boot.wim...

The main reason for you "Building Your Own Rescue Media" is that you can custom tailor the Media to your PC...
By adding Machine specific drivers and being able to decide what Plugins you want to add...
Not every PC is the same, and not everybody use the same programs..
XPE is really simple to use after you get the hang of it.
If you get stuck or need some help - just ask here - so we can help everybody..

As a new convert, I would never go back to customising @Kyhis build using dism etc. The new tool is fantastic and it only took me a few hours to master the basics with help from @Kyhi. One of my earlier posts shows step by step how to add your own portable apps. Adding drivers is easy too.

Give it a go - fun as well.

Today I tried to use build 1809 as base build but the end product would not boot on my device. 1803 works fine. I need to test a bit more.

ChrisR, Has Already Been Fixated On 1809 Support for XPE.

As you know, what you see in preview - is not always the same for release...
Now that the release is pretty final - the Fun Part Begins for him..

I think you are saying ChrisR has to fix Win10PXE for 1809?

Not really that big a deal for custom isos as we can still use 1803. Maybe you should add a warning in orginal post not to go beyond 1803 iso yet given it is pretty much ready now?

It is for me, just a hobby for the pleasure of developing around WinPE and to share with others but time is sometimes lacking.

It is a Hobby with a fixation..

Yes, 1809 is not yet supported in XPE - But 1809 has not been officially released either..
Although it should not be to long before a Project Update is Released - using same project link...

Note: We do not add support for preview releases - all projects use Official MS Release Media

Added Beginning Post..

Looking nice!

I think it looks awful and on my laptop, it is difficult to read at an angle. I am so annoyed it does not have a separate swirtch to turn it off indepdently if other OS dark mode features.

Hi Jimmy, @Kyhi.
A quick question. How to add a custom User Account Photo?
And an observation. When unzipping the Win10XPE I got from the Oven, Windows Defender keeps blocking the hiderun.exe, as it is considers it harmful.
