The first one with "Insider" in the name was a Beta channel release for enrolled Insiders and still has the NDP48 update bundled which id indicative for Insider builds. The other two (Release Preview channel) might actually be identical; sometimes MS re-releases UUP sets, that's just the way it is. ni_release = Windows codename "Nickel", release build (contrary to prerelease test builds). Release builds are actually associated with a definite Windows release branch, while prerelease builds are NOT.
But can't one uncheck that NDP48 update aferwards in a UUP Dump setting so what would be the difference between that build and the other 2? Also, why did Microsoft took the files from some builds from their servers and not from other builds which share the same build number, language, architecture and edition?
I know but I was talking about UUP Dump's "Include updates (Windows converter only" setting being unchecked afterwards.
Addupdates=0 = unchecking the "Include Updates...." both will do the same, not integrating updates and resulting in a 22621.1 ISO.
I know, that's what I do the former, which is faster, and that's why I don't understand the difference between the 3 mentioned builds if unchecking the UUP Dump setting in the mentioned build, assuming the difference between the 3 is that one comes with an update.
We don't know MS' reasoning (maybe they don't, either), there always will be redundancy in UUP, sometimes builds just vanish and don't work anymore. Just pick what's working for you, and do it fast.
BTW if anyone encourage problem install KB5017389 just run this command: Code: Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase I also suggest to clean this folder before re-download the update Code: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
Besides /resetbase is not even ran by that command, mostly cleanups are the cause of updates installation problems, you can wait till tomorrow (patch tuesday) and try with the latest updates or perform a repair upgrade by mounting (best to use a not cleaned up ISO) an ISO and start setup.exe.
In my case, it even fail 2 download, but after ran this Command download began as usual, and install later correctly I check it twice, on my computer (install w11 on second partition twice) I also run this clean up after any update's, to reduce SSD used space never face a problem when install new coming updates, updates work smooth
Is updating from 22621.1 or 22621.525 to the next stable version roughly the same in terms of data written on system disk? I mean on live system, freshly installed. Will .1 need significantly more data to get up to date, than f.i. .525? Will it be like one hundred megabytes or more like one gigabyte? Sorry for such noob question but I never actually had opportunity to ask about cumulative update system, should there be a big difference depending on installed version and updating to current one?
