The UUP system = WU and last week i did the real install test, moving to the RP channel did not result in being offered the 23H2 EP, i published a video somewhere here.. Up till now we only got the 22631.2428 en-US Enterprise ISOs which went to the OEMs.
What is certain for those wanting an "offical M$ untouched ISO" is there is still a bit of a wait. Speculating 2nd week of November, BUT who knows. To the noobs out there, if you have a fetish for that ISO you have to wait, ----- BUT ----- if you want the 23H2, its available now. Its is an M$ version, its the same as what will be released in a couple of weeks, and will over-written anyway regardless of source with updates. My advice, want 23H2, just get it now.
The current IP RP ISOs are build 22631.2361, the ISOs which went to the OEMs are 22631.2428, but that is only a LCU, for those who want 22631.xxxx can simply integrate/install the 23H2 EP + LCU: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...eta-rp-channel-ni_release.85327/#post-1734514
Disabling or rather removing your antivirus and all Microsoft junk is a good thing. But the problem is that many things in Windows itself stop functioning.
Is there a way to get the 23H2 ISO using the Media Creation Tool to trick it to download it? I don't like downloading standalone ISOs because they are always about 5-6 GB in size and when you try to create a USB installer using Rufus it tells you that you need to disable Secure boot while installing it (due to some boot driver)
Fresh installations that join the RP Channel will not get offered 23H2 for 48 hours, this is normal. You can speed it up by triggering the required task plan once. Open up the Windows Task Scheduler, go to \Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience and right-click "Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser", run the task. It will take about 2 minutes, you can reboot afterwards and 23H2 will now get offered through Windows Update. Alternatively, you can also open up cmd.exe as administrator and run %windir%\system32\CompatTelRunner.exe -m:appraiser.dll -foScheduledTelemetryRun The Appraiser Compat task has been a prerequisite to get offered a version upgrade in Stable & RP for a few years now. Again, it is run automatically after at most 48 hours within a new system installation, but this is why fresh systems will not get offered new feature upgrades on Stable & RP.
The ISO size is not what matters, it's the biggest file on the ISO that needs to be < 4GB and that is the install.wim, by compressing it to install.esd or splitting it in multiple install.swm files < 4GB it will fit FAT32 max file size.
so 22631 Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-us_22631.iso this will be the official release by mcsft.?
