    Long time lurker with zero posts. I love to read, but sometimes I just have to give in and ask. I appreciate ALL the HARD work done by countless contributors to this forum. In the past, I used W10UI to forcefully integrate 19045.xxxx updates that DISM++ wouldn't integrate into 19041.1 EntG edition. I don't remember if I tried NTLite. It's been so long that I don't remember the error(s). In that instance, I downloaded the updates from the most current 19045 build using UUPDump.net. It seemingly worked going straight from 19041.1 to 19045.xxxx using W10UI, however, I'm not confident that that is the acceptable or most ideal way. I'd like the opinion of you pros on this. How do I properly go from 19041.1 EntG to 19045.xxxx EntG in the most direct fashion using NTLite or DISM++? My background is computers, but my current specialty is cell phones. I hate phones BTW, but I love computers. Phones are so restrictively capable that I hate them, and I silently laugh when customers walk into the shop with phone problems that they can't figure out with a phone. It blows my mind that people will blow thousands of dollars every year on their stupid phones, and they won't spend a dime on a decent pc or simply don't even own one. Which leads them to me. A tech with a proper computer. To make a short question long, as I digress...

    How do I properly go from 19041.1 EntG to 19045.xxxx EntG in direct and/or proper fashion on an offline wim file using something like NTLite or DISM++?

    Thank You All

    I had said clearly: I would not upload\post 15 GB script. You have to modify 22621 script if you would.

    That's why I asked if you could send me the link to the message.

    I think WindowsUpdateBox.exe is the process or installer that announces "It's time to updrage to Win11/2XH2."

    I'm pretty sure I could implement an updater. I don't why it doesn't exist, to be honest. Would have to ask Gus, who is alive and will respond sufficiently. I'd probably use the code from whoever wrote the updater for UUPDump, and if I can't figure that out or licensing prohibits it, attempt to write the directory searching and DISM commands myself. I'd love if whoever wrote that updater would help me out, but I recieved nothing but silence when asking and saying it would be great to have another option in case UUPDump goes down again.

    For now, I just take the stock images from UUPDownload and apply updates using NTLite or DISMTools and my YourMUM.bat for certain exclusive integrations. The DISMTools dev listened to my idea about adding .mum support to his nice DISM GUI and it's been or is being integrated in the program moving forward.

    Hi. If you wrote a program that dump and create a windos from uup files please can you explain how the program works in a clean and simple manner. I am curious about how the esd files merged. Is it starts from a base esd and combines with dism? From which base esd it starts. With which dism commands it combines. How the media creator works.

    I am not able to write a downloader from scratch. But to the best of my knowledge, they download base edition esd files, apply them to virtual images in RAM or a folder, integrate client/server/N/edition-specific packages by converting them from .esd to either .cab or base components and .mums. This probably involves "mumbojumbo" from FoDMetadata and CompDB files that additionally aid in knowing what goes where. I believe package lists are available for most editions, and If I'm not mistaken, the packages themselves describe if they are applicable or not, should FMD and CDB not suffice. From there it's just ordering DISM/Wimlib around with an actionlist.xml I think.

    (not an expert opinion, that's just what i think i see happening. check the open source if you want to try and figure more out.)

    xinso, - if you may give me some insight, - why ARM64 version of G would not install?
    Doing same steps as with AMD64 (MUM text provided by you, all other files similar to amd64).
    Thanks!

    And another question to master.
    xinso, can you give an idea, why in reconstructed Enterprise G 26100.1 (doesn't matter which script) svchost.exe sometimes accesses 20.54.37.53 address.
    As I understand, Telemetry is not active in G. Clean install, no updates or software installed. Why may it want some IP address from Azure?
