    What's the point?

    If you need a core structure with enterprise licensing, just use my SKUwitch technique. Its universal
    and takes 30 second, (online)

    server has package to remove defender
    client doesnt, from windows 11

    so with server 2025 we could change it to enterprise and use it without defender

    the core wasnt the main point


    doesn't change the policy i can imagine

    The point of skuwitch is exactly this, changing the policies.

    What else could be?

    I installed the leaked 26100.1 wim and that activates without problems. I guess the files I used for reconstruction are not doing the job necessary for a clean wim. This thread is so convoluted with tests here and there it's hit and miss finding the right files unless you follow all posts here meticulously.

    25398 was recommended as a good one to to have for various reasons compared to other newer releases, so I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe a cleaner package for this will emerge later at some point.

    I compared your log with mine and it looks like I have extra cab files where you only have them as esd. Also Microsoft-Windows-TabletPCMath-Package-amd64.cab is listed in mine and not yours. I will give it one last try with what you have in your log. Maybe my iso from the UUP Dump download was not configured correctly.

    Okay, but does the hash on your .7z match mine that I posted?
    If not, can you make that package available for me to try?

    I'm talking of kernel policies, the ones that matters, not about customizations.

    The latter can be changed, the former are sculpted in stone

    Ace2, did the install wim from your esd come from uup dump? I ended up with an iso where the wim only had 1 index.
    See #15825 for uup config I used
    Code:
    dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:install.wim
    
    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.17763.3406
    
    Details for image : install.wim
    
    Index : 1
    Name : Windows Server 2022 Datacenter
    Description : (Recommended) This option omits most of the Windows graphical envi
    ronment. Manage with a command prompt and PowerShell, or remotely with Windows A
    dmin Center or other tools.

    I know what unstaging does, after all, the unstaging thing started because a my question.

    What I'm asking is, to put it in poor words, what's the practical scenario where a enterprise core SKU can be useful?

    Good question.

    As I wrote before .830 failed to me even on Pro SKU using the untouched .830 MSU...

    BTW I haven't tested KB5036910-x64-2024-05-03-EditionMatrix-830.esd, my installation works wonderfully, this is the very first time I feel I can use W11 as a main or secondary OS. So I'm not going to look for problems I don't have.

    As we say in my country you don't replace the members of a winning team. :D

    Excuse me. I cannot follow you.

    Did you mean I should not do this test for you?

    Not at all, I'm just explaining why I'm not going to investigate further.

    No worries. For this issue, I had done my best.
