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.

    What we really need is for MS to release an ISO with every build or give us an official script to build it ourselves. Maybe an option on the WU page to install or download, similar to the MCT, that would be cool.

    I wish there was an official MS ISO with every new Build.

    MS never went down that path, probably because it would require some extra testing on their part. 🤐

    Downloading 22610 Pro yesterday 5/5/2022 kept failing for me on every retry and failed again at 10:30 AM on 5/6/2022, finally tried again restarting the same script at 11:00 AM and it worked all the way. 🤣

    Correct but they used to release ISOs more often, at least once a month during the W10 early days.

    I don't think it is because of extra testing but rather their need for collecting data during WU updates.

    btw, I just found out that starting with this build I cannot update/repair in-place anymore (yellow zone). 😒

    Hi Sibro,

    All my non-compliant vm's and spare old laptop all upgraded without issue. For the "AppraiserRes.dll" file, I used a blank txt file and renamed it to AppraiserRes.dll in Sources. My bypass.reg file:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHC]

    "UpgradeEligibility"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]

    "BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001

    "BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

    "BypassRAMCheck"=dword:00000001

    "BypassStorageCheck"=dword:00000001

    "BypassCPUCheck"=dword:00000001

    "BypassDiskCheck"=dword:00000001

    Hope you get this sorted. I have used WU to upgrade non-compliant devices as well.

    Regards,

    Hi Johnny,

    Yeah thanks, I know how to bypass the blocks but didn't have to use them.

    I can update using WU as well, but I can't do an in-place as I used to until this build.
