Split from this thread.

@Sibro,

The install.wim in the MS ISO is too big to fit on a FAT32, so I will have to convert it to install.esd. ��‍♂️

Above the FAT32 limit of 4,294,967,296

    Good for you!

    IDK how you keep track of all the installing/updating you do between builds, remarkable! 👍

    Can be confusing at times, but I have images backed up with the different computer name depending on which build the update was done from.

    Anyway, this now looks normal, including the 2 silly vertical lines under the menu on the right, which only show up with Dev Builds. 😏

    @Sibro.o,

    Remember the other issue about the lock screen missing all the descriptions, the links to the web and the "Like the image that you see" menu that happened after upgrading 22000.556 to Ni build 22572.201?

    Now it is all back to normal after the 22572.201 to 22579.1 upgrade with W.U.

    Lock screen is correctly populated with all those missing things. 👍

    btw: look how much bigger a 3rd party arm64 ISO is compared to amd64 but is still missing all apps and else.

    Image

    Something has changed on the files they download; they need to figure out how to get the whole new package that includes all the basic Apps. The same issue with the converter scripts for the files downloaded in SoftwareDistribution.

    Till then, I'll stick to W.U. or the MS ISO. 😉

    No doubt something has changed but as I said on the main thread:

    "kind of weird that they would leave the script unfixed for so long, unless there is something MS is doing which prevents them from fixing it."

    There won't be another MS ISO anytime soon.
