Clean Install of Windows 11 Ni Preview Build works with Build 22557, but not with 22563, 22567, 22572, 22581, 22593, 25115

I created all 5 installation ISO files for all 5 Builds, but only 22557 contains all the system Apps required for a full clean install, the other 4 are missing all the basic Windows and System Apps needed for a functional system. Also, the App required for opening Windows Security (Microsoft.SecHeatlthUI) is missing, all this makes the resulting system unusable.

Last one on 22557.

Microsoft.SecHealthUI Microsoft.SecHealthUI_1000.22557.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

I noticed another issue common to all the Ni builds, if they are used for an upgrade or in-place they may only work correctly if they are done online allowing the check for updates.

If I use the option "Change how Setup download updates" to "Not right now", the upgrade or update in place still completes, but it creates a problem on subsequent W.U.

In this case W.U. goes in a loop trying to Download and Install the same Build over and over. Error 0xc1900401 is logged in that case.

I could not find a way out of that loop.

If I do the same upgrade or update in place online letting the Setup check for updates, as recommended, the process may complete correctly without subsequent W.U. loop issues, but the behavior is inconsistent depending on how the previous update was done.

The official MS Insider ISO 22579 includes all the required Apps and the Microsoft.SecHealthUI which is needed for opening Security.

    Hi Sibro,

    Perhaps the loop on Download and Install has something to do with the update history?

    Hi fg,

    IDK, possibly.

    I did two in-place repairs 593 > 593 (laptop & VM), both were clean installs and I didn't get the loop.

    Hi Sibro,

    Looks like with build 22593.1 there is no more delay on mounting an ISO file with File Explorer.

    I did an upgrade from 19044.1620 to 22593.1 using a uupdump created ISO and everything worked fine this time

    Back with the Download & Install loop again

    Hi fg,

    Indeed, the delay is gone again, lets see how long it will last this time.😁

    The ISO worked for me as well.

    I haven't tried an upgrade yet but I'm sure you're correct. 😎

    I don't have the problem if I do an update/repair with ISO from 22593.1 to 22593,1 on a system that was already previously updated with W.U.

    I noticed that when I upgrade with ISO from a previous Build (22581.200) there is nothing in the history showing that 22593 was installed.

    They should not rely on the update history to make the decision about downloading and installing again.

    We have done that for years without problems, they only started this mess with Nickel Builds. 😡

    @Sibro.o,

    Back with the Download & Install loop again,

    Had no problem upgrading from 19044.1620 to 22593.1 with ISO, everything worked just fine.

    When I tried the same from 22581.200 to 22593.1 with the same ISO on a machine that is on Beta channel, I ended up in the silly W.U. loop where it keeps trying to download and install the same build 22593.1 over and over again even if it is already installed.

    This bug keeps coming back to haunt us. 😒

    Had to use W.U. on 3 out of 4 machines to avoid the W.U. loop after the upgrade with ISO.
