It is preview which means "optional" under the old terminology and not the recommended release. Anything released outside of the second Tuesday of the month schedule (with very few exceptions) is not recommended for regular use.
i just installed KB5000802 on windows 10 20H2 , is it safe now to install this? as i heard earlier it was buggy.
They are optional for a reason. Like the .NET Framework updates released outside of the patch Tuesday.
If one examines the Windows 10 Pro Index for all the 19042.631 ISOs, the Directory Number and File Number is exactly the same for every 19042.631 ISO. Media Creation Tool (MCT), Techbench, Windows ISO Downloader, ESD > ISO, and Microsoft Visual Studio (MVS) ISOs all have the following structure for Windows 10 Pro: Directories=24132 Files=96477 Since the version and build are the same (19042.631), the edition (Windows 10 Pro) is the same, and the architecture (x64) is the same, I think it's safe to say that these are all very similar ISOs. ISO size (in bytes) may vary and SHA256 hash may vary, but the ISO structure is the same. UUP ISOs were not included in this study because they are custom, homebrew, a waste of my time. Spoiler: Comparisons Media Creation Tool (MCT) = Techbench = Windows ISO Downloader v19042.631 Windows Pro Structure: Directories : 24132 Files : 96477 ISO Size=6,221,846,528 Bytes SHA256=6c6856405dbc7674eda21bc5f7094f5a18af5c9bacc67ed111e8f53f02e7d13d Microsoft Visual Studio (MVS) v19042.631 Windows Pro Structure: Directories : 24132 Files : 96477 ISO Size=6,015,029,248 Bytes SHA256=fe029f3d94ffc3550312bfac48eaa01a87946a0792f8e34196a6252065e2c5fb ESD>ISO v19042.631 Windows Pro Structure: Directories : 24132 Files : 96477 ISO Size=Varies depending on conversion tools (ESD>ISO, NTLite, DISM++, etc.) SHA256=Varies
All of those are the same, why comparing them, only content of ESD and ISO differs at the available SKUs. UUP is the one to investigate and to be compared to all others, it contains less fod's then the others and has a self constructed boot.wim. The ISO of the ESD>ISO conversion is considered homebrew too, same as with UUP>ISO.
dear @Enthousiast : does this build have any serious irregularities to be concerned about? (for an average user) How this build is faring here with MDL members?
For me, UUP dump is worth the time, because of the ease of use. As for the time taken, I just leave it unattended for an hour or so The thing I like most about UUP dump is its ability to add virtual editions.
Must say your win7 activation script tool is working like a charm on latest intel machines for offline permanent activation. UEFi with GPT disk layout & CSM enabled machines .Great Job brother n Thanks a lot.
