    These two entries show up in UUP Dump GUI. Wondering what the differences are
    Code:
    Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.18362.1 (19H1_RELEASE) x86   x86   2a8958cc-a747-4e7a-a48c-5eebc46c81b0
    Windows 10 Insider Preview 18362.1 (19h1_release) x86   x86   fa88b32f-4fbd-47e7-937c-43a2acdeba58
    
    Which one needs to be downloaded to get the .1 build (never officially released) instead of the official released .30 ?

    edit: sorry, missed this. Seems one is Fast Ring and the other Slow with the same files.

    The following DISM command will look for stale mountpoints on all drives and (attempt to) unmount them:
    Code:
    DISM.exe /cleanup-wim
    Or, you can do it manually:
    Code:
    DISM.exe /Unmount-WIM /mountdir=C:\MountUUP /discard

    Since I have seen some questions raised about the recent change of superseded builds handling I have introduced, I'm going to shed some light what actually is going on.

    1. What actually are superseded builds?
    - Superseded builds are Update IDs which have been replaced by Microsoft with new Update ID which may contain more files. This has happened multiple times when Microsoft published build that had some editions missing and then they silently published new update with missing editions added. All system files in both updates were the same, but the newer ones had more metadata files.

    2. Why the handling was changed from removal of superseded builds to appending numbers?
    - The handling was changed, because with build 18362.207 Microsoft started to publish some updated with multiple Update IDs in rings. Because of that the backend of the website every update retrieved data for first encountered ID, then after scan of next ring it removed it and replaced with another ID. During next scan the data was again marked as superseded and redownloaded. You can actually see the mess which that was created by this in the fileinfo repository of UUP dump at GitHub.

    3. Which update do you recommend to download?
    - If you see multiple updates with the same name but with a number appended, then the update with the largest number is most likely the most complete.

    4. Do you manually create the information data used by UUP dump webiste?
    - Some people for some reason think that I'm a wizard that creates data from nothing. It may be surprising, but actually I'm not. The data on the website is automatically retrieved by the backend script which runs every 30 minutes and scans all rings. I do not add manually any data to the website.

    I hope that I have covered everything for now.

    Hello,
    Can I us UUP dump website to download and create a multi-arch ISO, instead of getting the x86 and x64 editions then use the multi_arch_iso.cmd?

    If so, could you tell me which files to delete and what file(s) to change? I

    Lastly, can you get Windows Server 2019 through the UUP dump website?

    'm getting use to the UUP dump website and think your doing an incredible job what your doing. Keep up the good work your doing.

    Thanks.....

    :cheers:

    No
    even if all UUP files for each architecture had unique names, the procedure will be exactly like using multi_arch_iso.cmd
    so, just set SkipISO to 1 and then use the script to create the multi-arch ISO

    No
    Windows Server 2019 is LTSC, it will never be distributed through UUP
    only the cumulative updates

    Might be a question for @abbodi1406 regarding the script for creating virtual SKUs, especially, the ServerRdsh one.

    Currently, the created ServerRdsh SKU is not fully working for cold installing, without further modification. Would it be possible to insert the necessary Setupcomplete.cmd (which will activate Administrator account) into that SKU's \Windows\Setup\Scripts directory?

    If that will be enough, why not.

    Yes, currently I'm doing that manually:

    SetupComplete.cmd
    Code:
    @echo off
    pushd "%~dp0"
    
    %WinDir%\System32\net.exe user Administrator /active:yes
    
    :END
    cd \
    rd /s /q %WinDir%\Setup\Scripts >nul 2>&1
    popd
    exit
    Without that batch running, you cannot log in as there is no active account (no regular one is created or asked by Setup for this SKU).
