    i've installed validation-desktop by winosr25 too. win+X menu is not working so far, wifi driver also - i'm on holidays right now without wired network (i'm writing from my iphone), so i can't even check if updates are working

    Hello, for the issues encountered, you need to replace the Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-Package

    with Microsoft-Windows-EditionPackage-Server-Package

    I edit the post

    I suggest ValidationOS-Desktop.

    You need to download ValidationOS 26100.1, and retrieve ValidationOS.wim from the root of the ISO.

    Once that's done, we'll add some packages:

    Microsoft-Windows-EditionPackage-Server-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-EditionPackage-Server-WOW64-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-WOW64-Package
    UserExperience-Desktop-Package
    BCD-Template-Server-Package

    language="en-US"

    Microsoft-Windows-EditionPackage-Server-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-EditionPackage-Server-WOW64-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-Server-Shell-WOW64-Package
    UserExperience-Desktop-Package

    Add the unattend file provided in the pack.7z.txt and 2 registry keys.

    reg load HKLM\SOFTHIVE %MT%\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE

    reg add “HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /v ‘Shell’ /t REG_SZ /d “explorer.exe” /f
    reg add “HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /v ‘ShellInfrastructure’ /t REG_SZ /d “sihost.exe” /f

    reg unload HKLM\SOFTHIVE

    Installation is done as for WinPE.

    Partition with diskpart.

    Apply the image.

    Example:
    dism /apply-image /imagefile:“d:\test.wim” /Index:1 /applydir:e:\

    bcdboot e:\Windows /s c: /f UEFI (for UEFI)

    bcdboot e:\Windows /s c: (for mbr)

    On first startup, an error will occur (tzsync.exe application error)
    and a black circle will appear on a white background. Just click Accept and you're done.

    echo:ImageState=IMAGE_STATE_COMPLETE>>D:\Windows\Setup\State\State.ini
    
    timeout /t 3
    
    Reg.exe load HKLM\SOFTHIVE D:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE" /v "ProtectYourPC" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "Shell" /t REG_SZ /d "explorer.exe" /f
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "ShellInfrastructure" /t REG_SZ /d "sihost.exe" /f
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\State" /v "ImageState" /t REG_SZ /d "IMAGE_STATE_COMPLETE" /f
    Reg.exe unload HKLM\SOFTHIVE
    
    timeout /t 3
