the Windows 10 media creation tool recently seems to obtain updated refreshed Win10 22H2 ESD install media that has the KB5033372 (build 19045.3803) update integrated

(consumer en-us x64 esd download) (consumer en-us x86 esd download)

gonna reinstall Win10 22h2 on some of my pcs by using the in-place upgrade install method after creating the 19045.3803 usb install media from these new esds

Thanks for the info. I just downloaded the esd image using the MCT and it is indeed 3803. When did this start? I thought they only updated these things twice a year.

Despite the information on the OP (from Win. 10) the LCU package for this cannot be deleted; "Properties" of the folder show it as a "System" file. It took me a lot of effort to find the correct DISM command line to delete these - so I wonder whether this is some kind of very unusual or unique situation. It's actually the same LCU name as one I deleted about a week earlier?

Microsoft disabled feature 18755234, apparently to comply with EU requirements, and pushed it out globally. That change reverts Windows 10 to the classic search that we had prior to the release of build 1909 in 2019. This change was not documented in the release notes. They just pushed it out.

You can get back the previous address / search bar by re-enabling feature 18755234:

Download and extract ViveTool.

Type cmd in Windows search and select Run as Administrator.

CD to the folder that contains vivetool.exe.

Enter this command:

vivetool /enable /id:18755234

Note: You can also use Microsoft's StagingTool instead of ViveTool.

late December 2023 (maybe a few days before Xmas 2023)
only ESDs got updated to .3803 but not the ISOs on MS techbench win10 download page (only MVS/MSDN users got those Dec 2023 W10 22H2 ISO images with .3803); the ones on ms techbench are still the May 2023 "v1" build (.2965)


recently re-installed Win10 22H2 using the ESD 19045.3803 install media via "in-place upgrade install" & after the completed re-installation, then ran Disk Cleanup and cleaned out/removed "previous Windows installation" & the computer boots up a little faster now {windows update history is gone but I kinda like it since I don't have to keep track of a long list of installed updates after doing re installs thru "in-place upgrade installs"}
