Trying to make ISO from 2/3 VMs. The third has too little disk space and was trashed. One is from windows.old which looks to work as well as the one before reboot - but it is a very slow process in a VM.

Are you using Hyper-V. If so, all you need to do is attach vhd as a drive in Host, and run uuptoiso from Host - much faster than running uuptoiso in VM

Also, temporarily tuning off defender speeds things up.

Finally, have you tried the new uup dump method. You can download uup files from MS direct and it is very fast. See a video I created.

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Why disable Windows Defender each time you run UUPtoISO when you can configure it to exclude the UUP folder and all related processes?

...just a thought ;-)

You can do that as well, but it is just easier to tell somebody "turn defender off" rather than saying "get directory path in clipboard or write it down, go to defender, select option xyx, do abc blah bah".

Hahah...yeah...but you only have to say it once if said properly. :)

My experience if you say something simple, most users work it out - pretty obvious how to turn off defender.

Moment it is more complicated, unless you provide a tutorial or video, many users comeback with a load more questions. Sometimes the KISS principle is just best policy.

True!

I think the UUPtoISO tutorial could have this basic information added. Even MS recommends disabling any AV when working with DISM and similar tools. Usually one would run such commands on a technician PC, where AV is disabled altogether. There is a lot that can go wrong on a "non-clean" instance of Windows. :)

An anecdote.
A man arrives in a strange country, taking a taxi for what should be a ten minute drive, the taxi driver says "leave it to me".
Two hours later..............

Reading some of these posts gave rise to my imagination.

Need to find out if the following problem has been caused by upgrading my GPU...if someone can test this it would be appreciated.

Opening Edge browser and choosing an article which is centrally located on screen, then click on Reading View, reverting back makes the article reduce in size and veer to the left....the more times you repeat this the further left the original article appears.....see attachments.

And this happens only in edge, not other apps or other browsers?

Thank you for asking.....as had been clarified by two previous replies confirming it was not an M$ fault....it was the new GPU, I no longer have this problem.
