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.

    Still, it reported several different errors during the process, see 2 of those below. 😒

    I still cannot understand how you get 25120.1010, it kept failing for me and for Johnny too.

    IDK, I didn't see any errors, I'll try again just to satisfy my curiosity.

    The errors may go by, I got the errors and it still built 25120 .1010 this time, but never made it yesterday.

    You can see that mine is just a little bigger, but not by much.

    B.T.W.

    I tried a clean install with this 25120.1010 just built, without network connection, Shift + F10 and oobe\bypassnro still worked as it did with the MS official ISO.

    I'm sure they will eventually close this door too, but with this ISO it still worked. 😎

    The hack doesn't work for me on a VM 25120.1010 created with the ISO from dump

    I'm monitoring every step, no errors so far.

    That looks like one of the errors I got, you can check the screen shots I posted earlier.

    Maybe depending on when you download the files, some may not be ready or being modified and then they cause the errors?

    Anyway, I have never got a clean run trying to build .1010 but I did with .1000.

    As for the oobe\bypassnro, I press Shift + F10 when it gets to the network screen asking to connect then type the command. Then it restarts and when it gets to the network screen again, it has the option "I don't have internet" and when I click on that, it asks for the offline user ID.

    I don't know how you get to this screen with VM?

    How do you cut the network connection on VM ?

    Anyway, the second method suggested by Neowin while you are connected to the internet still works too.

    I just tried it and it avoided the MSA.

    IDK what is causing the error/s but if this is MS sabotaging ISO making so be it!

    Don't feel like wasting anymore time on this.

    The process of clean installing on a VMware VM is pretty much the same as on a physical machine. I get to that screen the same way you do.

    By temporarily cutting the network connection to the host.

    Yeah thanks, looks like I will have to use that method on VMs from now on.
