It was GN using a server boot.wim because it looks nicer. Also the boot.wim UUPMC made failed and I had it on hand while I downloaded and created a UUPD core/pro iso. There was almost nothing left to remove that wouldn't prohibit integrity checks to be honest. I was going all out. Absolutely no pre-testing because I was feeling lucky. Scan health found no corruption after taking it offline, however it found them in the wim image. So I fixed that, cut a tiny bit more because **** it, and we'll see how it goes.

Settings as in OOBE or post-welcome? It should be leaving logs in various places in either case. I'd do your standard scans you've been told about too many times in your life as well. Here is a simple batch I made to make that fast. Half of it is just me goofing off, if you wonder why it's so long.

Code:

I used: .\uupdownload -s Undefined -v 10.0.22631.1 -r rp -t amd64 -c ni_release

I'll try to track down the possible -r commands. I know WIF was one of them. I don't know what WIF is.

Also, seems like a direct downgrade to Starter may still just be in the works, but that all the files necessary to build what starter can are available. If I read the TODOs and comments correctly.

Code:

My web is being slow and I'm running out of HDD space. Going to have to salvage the one from my backup laptop. For now, I let this download and eat/get coffee/try not to sleep more while it downloads.

Gus has some clean code. I'm running CodeMaid on the source and it has almost nothing to do. Seems like anyone with a grasp of C# could help this guy out. Or selfishly edit for themselves haha...
