Thank you for the quick reply. I want to ask something: with access to the monthly images, have you ever found it necessary to use W10UI to integrate updates to an older ISO? EDIT: And another thing: most of what I am seeing in the list of updates that Windows 10 has are x86 marked. Is getting those equally as important as the 64-bit ones?
I always get me a xxxxx.1 ISO and use W10UI to update a copy of it to the latest build. For x64 ISOs you only need the x64 updates and for x86 ISOs you only need the x86 updates.
I beg forgiveness for my ignorance, but if you were able to get the latest version, why would you put updates to it unless if the updates appear for download before the next newest version?
Because the latest releases ISO is not fully updated, or doesn't contain the latest NDP48x version + CU. Except for December msft usually publishes a new LCU right after ISO releases.
Does that matter what image one uses? It is already old the moment it is finished (if doing the self-updating) I gave up long ago on trying to have "current" image Install whatever & WU will bring it to date on first run
i use whd downloader for clean installation as its faster.all i need to install on windows update slow connection because i have to download files then install. after that i use windows update for upcoming updates.
Ah, so you use WHDownloader to put in your images for total wipes, but use Windows Updates for on-the-fly updating. I can see the logic in that.
Use either the catalog or use a virtual machine to capture the cab files for installation with DISM it's the cleanest and most surgical way of doing things IMO
Yeah, I thought the catalogue can come in handy. Me, I prefer the WHDownloader; all the updates you need at your fingertips, with the low, low price of "no strings attached."
WHD is just a tool that offers the updates, the links it uses are from catalog. It only doesn't provide the DU for sources and safeos (winre).
haven't used WHDownloader since I discovered the "delete everything on close" bug, so I don't know if it has ever been fixed. I always use WUMGR for all my installations and manual catalog downloads for the rare cases, where I need a specific MSU file. -andy-
Looking for some pointers on what kind of updates you guys integrate on your Windows images. So far, I've been downloading links Enthousiast has provided on this board, as well as ones on WHDownloader and Windows Updates Catalogue. I've collected Cumulative updates, SafeOS updates, and Dynamic Cumulative patches. I also collect updates for my drivers. Mostly, I go to the Catalogue to do that; WHDownloader is missing a whole lot for that. What about you? If you can provide me a list of the kind of updates that you implement to your patch, that would be super. I'll search for the links online myself. Thank you.
Happy New Year! You should or could publish a book, then you wouldn't have to rewrite the same thing over and over again for every new comer, you could just always offer this book to everyone, of course at a good price.
