    @zwl29107 I haven't seen you for a long time. I was wondering if you created the new lcu files for 25398?

    There is two different EnterpriseG builds.

    One is reconstructed build that users share here can be example=enterpriseg_19041_x64.7z or something else. You take it and build your EnterpriseG from any build. The other is original CMGE V2020-L (V2022-L.1345) iso.

    At first i took original CMGE V2020-L (V2022-L.1345) build edited productpolicy and changed EnterpriseG-ppdlic.xrm-ms with the one inside reconstrcution pack users shared here (maybe i have not changed the file i do not remember but i remember i did not edited it). I do not know if the user that prepared reconstruction pack edited the EnterpriseG-ppdlic.xrm-ms file or not but i have not edited it. If the repacker change the xrms file manifest file and file hash will not mismatch, it will give hash mismatch error when adding package. So i did not think the xrms file edited. So i concluded CMGE V2020-L (V2022-L.1345) can be different! and editing only productpolicy can be enough. Thats all.

    You prefer to disable sppsvc. Whatever written in there will not be your problem because windows licensing service will not work and check them. Do not bother

    For now I'm downloading 19041.1 en-US amd64 to test EnterpriseG

    Meanwhile, I have my doubts, in Windows 11 21H2 (22000.1) sessions.xml I see that there is StarterEdtion, does anyone have any idea how to rebuild it? Using Starter Packages from 15063.0?

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    EnterpriseG are useless... use regular enterprise.... and copy admx + adml to policy definitions folder and after use restore gpo with lgpo .... similar as enterpriseG without stupid language restriction

    Nb for windows 11 use iot enterprise 24h2 as base to bypass stupid requirement without modification

    Maybe balanadi post page-3 #43 can help with activation.

    Have a look in 15063.0_Core-to-Starter_amd64_Activated_Updatable.zip\files\mum\ to understand activation crack that is in there

    I guess it should be SPP, right?

    then I should edit Microsoft-Windows-EditionSpecific-Starter-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0.mum again and add the SPP of 15063.0 core to starter..

    I'll try it in a while, thanks for the tip Ace2 ;)

    Interesting, indeed!
    What about 26100.1? What is a main difficulty - reconstructed Starter image doesn't boot, or installed OS doesn't activate?
