    I added GUI to 17134.1ServerACore and found that InstallationType was replaced with Client, which is one of the four packages. Do you know which one?
    Code:
    Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17134.1
    Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-WOW64-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17134.1
    Microsoft-Windows-Enterprise-Desktop-Shared-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17134.1
    Microsoft-Windows-Enterprise-Desktop-Shared-WOW64-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17134.1

    Should be Client-Features-Package and Client-Features-WOW64-Package.

    I did not forget, but I always think that InstallationType is determined by the "Microsoft-Windows-Branding" package

    MS won't let you easily alter Activation Technology files.

    Those things are too obscure. My basic skills are too poor to read.

    Yeah. Then you need more hard work.

    Is that one? Every time I installed it very smoothly, there was always a case where the GUI was unsuccessful

    Yes. But "install smoothly" does NOT necessarily mean successfully "installed".

    I also feel that I haven’t found a good way yet.

    I added GUI for server in the afternoon and the desktop experience appeared. However, clicking on the desktop did not respond and it crashed. I will try again
