WinPE is needed to run Windows setup; extremely simplified you could say it's kind of mini operating system that takes care of install media boot and first phase of setup. After first reboot required by setup, WinPE is no longer needed, it giving control to Windows 10.

OK, when I have WinPE files saved on my machine let's say in WinPE folder on drive E:, and I have my Windows installation files stored on same drive in folder SetupFiles, and I want to create Windows ISO on drive X: with name Build14986x64.iso, I give the following command in Deployment and Imaging Tools (see oscdimg command options):

Code:

oscdimg -m -u2 -bE:\WindPE\fwfiles\etfsboot.com E:\SetupFiles X:\Build14986x64.iso

One thing I have a problem with is WinPE is mentioned but the Code shows WindPE.

Typo fixed. I hope you have no more problems with it.

Yes, Edge slowdown, try running sfc /scannow, that's what I did and it's back to normal.

I tried your suggestion and even did a restart.*Edge still starts slow and loads new tabs slow. I think I'll go back to Pale Moon or Chrome for awhile.

WTF? Edge won't load Google, but loads Bing and Yahoo just fine.

Every other browser loads Google without a problem.

What did you expect, John? Edge is a Microsoft product after all.

And Google is a huge competitor!

Seriously, I've been testing Edge for a few days, but for me, it's regressed quite a bit, so I went back to FF.

I've been almost 11 hours today in neurological tests, home just now having first look of 14986. I have an idea, a theory that should work, but I might need a day or two to test it before posting.

I am relatively sure it works, but posting a theory, just an idea I have in my head is not a very good idea.

Good luck on the tests, Kari. Both neurological and Build 14986.

So how would I go about creating an ISO now? Hmm....

I'm guessing we'll have to wait until someone else figures it out, Roger. Maybe Kari, TC, John; one of those "smarter than me" about this stuff.

Crap. copied wrong post, that's to re-enable UUP.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate]
"SupportsUUP"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Orchestrator]
"EnableUUPScan"=dword:00000000

Sounds like something I'd do, and have done before!

And now you should get yourself to a dark and quiet place to rest. Surely we can live without your help until tomorrow when you'll most likely feel better.
