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,

    As I said earlier, looks like the level of Widows Web Experience Pack in the ISO is a low version.

    Should be 521.20060.315.0, but what they add in the ISO is 421.20050.505.0

    Found the link to install Web Experience pack and got the latest level.

    That fixed the Widgets, after a reboot it was working properly.

    I think the version included from uupdump is older, also it was not even installed after the upgrade.

    Had to find it on the Web and then install it manually, you cannot find it just searching the MS Store and it does not show on the list of installed Apps either. 😝

    After fixing the Widgets problem, I updated to 22581.200 with W.U.

    but at this point, since I fixed the issue, I could have used also the ISO 22581.200 from uupdump.

    You will not see the problem upgrading from 22000.593, because the Windows Web Experience Pack is already installed and at the right level.

    It may get updated from the store with the other Apps if needed. It is weird that it is not listed in the installed Apps, I have to use PowerShell to find it.

    This was upgraded from 19044.1620 to 22581.200 and it is on Dev Channel.

    Curious that I find 2 versions in 2 different machines both working and up to date.

    This was on one upgraded from 22000.593 to 22581.200 and it is on Beta channel.

    You may be able to bypass the check for the processor if you really want to. Let me know if you want to try.

    No thanks, I know I can bypass the check but I don't want to.

    I have no problems clean installing/updating W11 on a VM or this laptop, this issue is exclusive to 19044.1620

    Fair enough, looks like they added an extra check when going from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

    If you are already on 11 they still don't care about the processor. 🤣

    Hi fg,

    As you like to make an ISO from SoftwareDistribution, when you dl the apps from the dump, just retain the 57 files in the Apps folder and copy them to wimlib every time you create an ISO. You will be good to go.

    Regards,

    Hi guys,

    FYI, UUPdump script is working normally.

    All apps are there on a clean install without any intervention.

    How do you combine the 2 scripts?

    Could you clarify?

    Thanks,

    FG.

    I run the normal script first, to grab the uup files. Then grab the Store apps from dump for same ISO by using all language (2864 files). I then copied the store apps files to wimlib, then copied the original uup files to wimlib. It did give me a full working ISO when finished. I suppose all one needs is the English files once this step for Store apps is done.

    Abbodi does plan to incorporate this shortly, it comes down to how many original store apps desired, think that is what may be holding them back on this right now. It is lot of unnecessary downloading at the moment. Not sure why MS changed whatever they changed.

    Regards,

    Edit: On that page, there was a parser cmd file that took those 2864 files and put them down to 57 files. I just made another ISO and going to test that. I assume one can use these same Store apps on any version down the road, till they get it working properly.
