[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Final Build 19041>>>19045 (PC) [20H1>>>22H2 vb_release]

With 20H1/2004 something changed, it probably saves the data outside of the softwaredistribution folder.

Iirc, It even survives a capture using the exclusion list ini file by @abbodi1406

 

@armond
These are the files and folders excluded by the ini, when capturing an install:

I am capturing an install now, to see if the update history still is present after installing the captured install.

@abbodi1406 did

But this only applies to a captured install, as you said, it cripples WU in your scenario.

New test is with 19041.153, will use WU to update to 19041.172 and test.
