Cumulative Update KB4043961 Build 16299.19 for PC Insider

I think it's easier to simply download the ESD files directly from Microsoft servers and create the ISO, when the MCT is officially available on the page it will be worth using it.

What is "MCT"?

MCT is Microsoft Media Creation Tool

Thanks - had one of them for years - I have to learn WTFL - Windows Ten Forum Language -

This is the version I have - cannot remember the last time I used it or where I got it.

Doesn't unlinking your MSA from your Insider account prevent further build updates? - I have a Fix Me button that errors out with an 0x80072ee2 code, whenever I tried to click it, and many Insider setting options do not appear.

On The Compaq Presario CQ57, I was stuck on the CU 15063 Pro, with no successful insider new builds since then, until I changed the following a few days ago and 16299.15 came down the line:

Most of the DWORD values were 0, now changed to 1, and ring backup was set at "WIF" too, so I set it as WIS, and the update started after a reboot.

On another PC, I downloaded the MCT ESD 16299.15 from the links given on MDL, and used DISM++ version of ESD to ISO to create the 9-image ISOs for x86 and x64.

Here's a question:

The ISO label for Windows Setup disks, e.g. 16299.15.170928-1534.RS3_RELEASE_CLIENTPRO_OEMRET_X64FRE_EN-GB.ISO, - is this stored somewhere in the download from Windows Update, and if so where, or is it synthesised by concatenating information from lots of places within the downloaded files?
