Latest Windows Clients' Windows Defender has been integrated to system package. If removed, LCU fails. Best policy: Use group policy.
Q: What can reconstruction do? A: It allows to add different packages to an existent image, and remove what is different to target image.
Classic update patch: deployment files and binary files in same .cab New update patch: deployment files in .cab binary files in .psf deployment file = .mum, .cat, etc. --> setup file binary file = .dll, .exe, etc. --> program file
It seems that Microsoft will use cab and psf format for all update pactch. In two ways: For 21H2 Client: e.g. 21390.1010 LCU windows10.0-kb5004071-x64.cab = deployment files windows10.0-kb5004071-x64.psf = binary files For old build: Before - e.g. 19043.1055 LCU windows10.0-kb5004476-x64.cab Code: cabinet.cablist.ini Cab_1_for_KB5004476_PSFX.cab Cab_2_for_KB5004476_PSFX.cab Cab_3_for_KB5004476_PSFX.cab update.cat update.mum Whole deployment and binary files are splitted into multi sub-cabs After - e.g. 19043.1081 windows10.0-kb5003690-x64.cab Code: cabinet.cablist.ini Cab_1_for_KB5003690_PSFX.cab Cab_2_for_KB5003690_PSFX.cab update.cat update.mum Cab_1_for_KB5003690_PSFX.cab = deployment files = new .cab Cab_2_for_KB5003690_PSFX.cab = binary files = new .psf
It feels to be gradually transitioned to, only the upgrade package .cab can be downloaded, without .psf, only online updates will be available in the future.
For 2XXXXX Client ATM. Server 2022 not yet. Windows 10 (1904X) is to end in 2025. So, from then forward, all cab and psf. (Server unknown) Why? cab, 2 GB limitation. psf, no limitation - easy maintenance. Make sense?
No compatible language pack... This is more useful to some devices Code: Creating 18362.1 Windows 10 Enterpris LTSC 2019 amd64 xx-XX Mounting image Creating EnterpriseS Current Edition : EnterpriseS (OEM) Removing Store Resetting base Unmounting image 18362.1 Windows 10 Enterpris LTSC 2019 amd64 xx-XX has been successfully created Press any key to continue . . .
Q: Which build is gonna be 21H2 Enterprise LTSC? Q: If 21H2 Enterprise LTSC is 20348, would its Certificates be compatible with Windows 11? I mean Official Releases (former RTM).
Q: Which file controls ServerManager.exe and OptionalFeatures.exe? A: C:\Windows\System32\appwiz.cpl. If Server as Client, both work. If Client as Server, three options: 1. Modify appwiz.cpl to access OptionalFeatures.exe. Beautiful. 2. Use dism command. Second best. (You don't enable\disable features all day long, do you?) 3. Port Server Manager to Client. (Not perfect because Server Manager is far complicated than OptionalFeatures.exe.)
Q: How to use your language to add other 37 languages for custom update? A: 2-1. set these three parameters Code: set LOCAL=ar-SA set BUILD=10.0.19041.906 set PACKAGE=microsoft-windows-editionspecific-enterprises-package 2-2. Double-Click Add-Lang.cmd OK. You have a custom LCU for 38 languages although "if %LOCAL%==" method is not smart.
