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! 👍

    @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. 👍

    Hi fg,

    Upvoted!

    Ironically, I did an in-place update of .579 from Home Edition (installed with official ISO) to Pro using a 3rd party ISO, I refused the updates and didn't get the loop. I know this is a different situation but reflects the inconsistency of these .Ni builds.

    The reason was that I mounted the official ISO by mistake and ended up with Home, the original OS of this laptop. I like to use 3rd party ISOs with Pro Edition only so I don't have to upgrade via the Store which sometimes doesn't go well.

    Hi Sibro,

    Hope that helps.

    I did one 22579 to 22579 earlier with official ISO refusing the updates and that worked too, seems to have a mind of its own on different machines, also depending on previous updates.

    They sure have a bug, but not easy to isolate when it happens. 😎

    It just confirms the inconsistent behavior. 🤷‍♂️

    The one that failed earlier with ISO from 22572 to 22579, I just restored it and did it again with W.U. and everything is fine. No loop or error. 🙃🙃

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