Build 19043.928 out to Beta & Release Channel + ISO for 19043.928

I tried marking mine active multiple times, and as you can see, it is not currently active.  All I got was the message below.  I also just noticed the USB drive is showing as GPT .. I did not do anything I know of for that to happen.

Maybe I am missing something but all I do is mount the .iso and copy the files to the NTFS partition.  No DISM operations necessary..

I know, NTFS does not have the 4GiB file size limit.

What is in the FAT32 partition ? Are you booting from it ? How was it prepared ? How did the disk convert to GPT ?

Here are my 2 ISO Files, the first is the one downloaded from MS Insider with the install.wim

The second is with the install.esd, 

If I mount the one with the .esd I can copy all the files to a FAT32 USB Flash drive with the Partition set Active.

That can boot from Both Legacy BIOS or UEFI machines.

I was wondering why you folks seem to be converting the .wim file.  I know it is larger than 4 GBs since I did a clean install yesterday after having downloaded the .iso.  But, just in case you don't know, there is an easier way, ..  The drive booted and the install started automatically, which I did not expect.

I did learn yesterday you can no longer make a partition active on a USB drive with either Diskpart or Disk Management.

@Saltgrass, 

Looks like the active command works fine with DISKPART.

I'm just making an Installation USB media the same way that MCT does.

One Fat32 partition, that can boot on either UEFI or Legacy BIOS.

If the install.wim is bigger than 4,294,967,296 bytes it cannot be copied to a FAT32 disk so I just convert the install.wim to install.esd to stay below the limit.

Posted in the Edge forum regarding this. Also mentioned why would you put files downloading progress in the top toolbar, not at the bottom of browser like every other browser out there, and Edge previously. Find it a total nuisance. Especially once you do several downloads. More MS logic, lets clutter the top toolbar :-(

Regards,

On latest MS Edge they also changed the option to show in folder, I could not find it at first then I saw a folder showing up on the right side..😉

Keep confusing people after they get used to the way it works, lets just create some more new confusion to guess what they are changing.

Like Ease of Access, now renamed Accessibility ? 🤔 What was wrong with the original name ?
