ISO file size discussion

Edit:

It just finished repair 22579 to 22579 with MS ISO, everything looks fine this time, no loop on W.U. on this one.

Did you refuse updates?

Just did 22579 to 22579 again, this time refusing updates, got the W.U. loop with error c1900401again.

Looks like that option is definitely causing the problem.

Time for another FBH? 😝

You tested that and we both arrived to the same conclusion last week before the thread was deleted. 😁

Why do you keep trying?

Because when I did 22572 to 22579 it got the same bug even allowing to check for updates.

So, it is not just when refusing the updates, something else is causing the same issue.

So? what's the problem? do you need/want a password?

That's how I do clean installs, I don't need a password, at least not at first.

Then when I need to add an MS account, be it Mail or the WIP, I chose for 'apps only'

Yes, I want the password for the offline account, always done it that way it is different than the one used for the MS account.

The behavior changed because they just did not even ask as they always did before. 🤣

It is the same as always.

If you type a password you get the questions (something I've never done), if you click next with the box empty, it means you don't want a password and setup continues without asking.

Must be the .Ni builds, didn't we established that already?

Yes, I just repeated with the same installation media and this time it worked normally.

No idea why yesterday it skipped asking for the password and then it was stuck for minutes, I saw it working on the disk and nothing happened for several minutes.

When I did it just now it worked normally and no delays just the normal behavior.

Never anything established with MS, don't you know that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Inconsistency seems to be the norm.
