RS-Prerelease Build 25158 + ISO is out to Dev Channel

This build installed fine on my main Dev PC. However, installing it on the second Dev, using the ISO created from the first, had a problem. Only got as far as the desktop, where I was greeted with a black screen, with a partially filled taskbar flashing on and off. The only response I got was from ctr+alt+delete. Managed to change user, which appeared without any problems, Reboot had no effect.

So, eventually used "go back to previous version". This took a long time, but got me back eventually.

Will try again, using the normal WU

The second try via WU installed without any problems, as did the Hyper-V dev install

@Vienna10,

How did you create the ISO?

I downloaded the official MS Insider ISO 25158 and did not have any issues with it.

Sorry for the late reply - time difference

Used "uup-converter-wimlib-34" to make the ISO before the first reboot. Have done so without any problems for a long time.

However, perhaps the problem was forgetting to disable "Startallback" and "Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix"......

This way is very usefuf

Hi Vienna,

That does not work anymore with latest development builds, because it misses all the basic windows apps. The problem started back in March 2022.

I used to do the same as you before, but with 22563 and above it is no longer a valid option for dev Ni Builds.

MS changed things and that is no longer possible to build a complete ISO after W.U. downloads the new Build.

Latest wimlib is 81f, but still, you cannot get a valid ISO from Windows\SoftwareDistlibution\Download unless you download all the required Apps.

At that point you may as well download all the needed cabs. 😎

The process for building the ISO takes now much longer than it used to. 🤐

For this build I downloaded the MS insider 25158 ISO.

Clean Install of Windows 11 Ni Preview Build works with Build 22557, - Microsoft Community

Here is a sample of the ISO being built after downloading all the needed files.

Second time getting errors trying to update defender through W.U.

Had to pause and resume updates to get rid of the error.

Yet, checking directly from defender shows that the same update is already installed.
