    static winre.wim is english only
    and it not base 26100.1 + updates, it's a complete compilation of the matched version (i.e. all files and components in winre.wim are 26100.8036)
    it's intended for Containers and Docker images, not for regular images / ISO

    starting with build 26100, LCU does not apply to winre.wim (adding msu = skip), only Package_for_SafeOSDU
    they might backported the same behavior for 22621

    Is anybody experiencing issues with the Start menu not working in a fresh install of Windows 11 28000.2525?

    Below are the two files that I changed slightly, to hopefully identify the issue.

    You are using the customappslist, try without using that and install.

    I thought the ISO was working, but it isn't. The virtual machine I have been testing on was connected to the internet during installation, so I suspected that maybe a rogue update was making it's way through the OOBE.

    For my testing I first installed with no internet connection and the Start menu appears to work. I then installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, rebooted and everything continued to work. I then connected the machine to the internet, checked and installed for and Windows Updates, rebooted and everything continued to work.

    For the second part of my testing, I reinstalled with an internet connection. The Start menu worked until I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions and rebooted. So perhaps something is off with the Guest Additions?

    Edit: While posting this, the virtual machine was left running. After posting, the Start menu started to work again. Perhaps Windows needs time to set things up?

    First I don't know why the other person is addressed, he/she has nothing to do with UUP dump or whatever.

    So, it was vbox related i assume.

    I tagged the other person as they liked my previous post, so thought that my further response might interest them.

    Is there a way include some Optional Feature component, for example: Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0, While building an ISO using UUP dump?

    No
    uup-converter only assemble the segmented (dehydrated) files back into install.wim(esd)
    it does not add or remove anything, except updates and apps

    Sorry to go back to the problem I reported earlier in this thread, of the Start menu being unresponsive.

    I tested and found that 28000.2704 has the same issue as the previous build I tested, 28000.2525. So I tested 28000.2704 without touching the INI files and used it as I downloaded it from the UUP dump website. This version works perfectly, even with VirtualBox Guest Additions installed.

    So perhaps it is some component I have removed, or something I have changed in ConvertConfig.ini. I change only two things in ConvertConfig.ini:
    1. CustomList =1
    2. vDeleteSource=1
    I will try to test as best as I can, but for now below are the original and changed INI files.

    Code:
    [Store_Apps]
    SkipApps     =0 <--- Skips integrating the APPS
    AppsLevel    =0 <--- Sets the level of the apps integration
    StubAppsFull =0 <--- Control preference for Apps which are available as stubs.
    CustomList   =0 <--- Enable using CustomAppsList.txt or CustomAppsList2.txt to pick and choose the added Apps.
    
    Can you also show the customappslist you use?

    Thanks for replying. Are you suggesting that I might try changing those options you mentioned, which are currently set as 0? If so, can you point to any documentation about changing these?

    As per some advice from Google Gemini, I tried enabling MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_cw5n1h2txyewy, which was disabled in my previous CustomAppsList.txt file. This hasn't made any difference though.

    AI only knows what it finds most on the internet, when a lot of "tech wise" people post about not including them (and lately they post a lot of nonsense or real crap (imHo)) then AI will suggst that as the best option, same for when a writer writes about murders a lot (like crime writers/journalists) AI will tell you he/she is a murderer (real example).

    Best is to set the customappslist option to 0 and not use it at all.
