    The ISO i linked you to is 17763.1 Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
    I just hate needless and avoidable breaking windows features and you might encounter situations in which it can be usefull.

    Ok yes I can see that as been a good point, breakages should always be avoided whenever possible. I hate to ask but do you think I should redo it?

    I'm back to scratching my head... 0 not working again:( The project folder structure? Is that the target location? BTW I set [8] to 1 as shown in your example.

    I don't have W10UI.ini file in that folder.
    Question how would this scenario work, (Note: I (personally) don't create an ISO, I just copy the newly created stuff directly to my original (bootable) USB)
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ows-updates-pre-installed.83809/#post-1674124 It's the end of another 21h day, I'll look at the problem with fresh eyes after some sleep. Thanks to all who have taken time to help & I do know how hard it can be to help someone who doesn't really know what they are doing.

    I went with offline install. Have my portable firefox in with all the MDL bookmarks. KMS done.
    I'm not superstitious but had to have my 13y/o black put to sleep this morning:( Apart from that Friday the 13th has gone ok.

    I will spend more time here and learn what I can to avoid a repeat performance of the past 10 days.
    Thanks again for your time & effort, and mean that.

    Power was gone while w10ui was working and now I have a temporary directory that I cannot delete... I've tried rebooting, using dism /cleanup-wim, dism /umount-wim, gave my user full control over that directory & subdirs, used takeown and then deleted, even removed the WIMMount\Mounted Images registry keys, but the there's no way to delete that directory (10 GB with "windows" and "program files" in it). How can I fix the problem?

    Excellent advice once again, ENTST
    (And I don't mean to be a slijmbal).

    Using "nsudo" surely beats my stupid method for avoiding locked file trouble after unsuccessful mount/ unmount projects:
    - I do my mounting on a dedicated partition (*) that doesn't have other important stuff on it, so when things go wrong, I can always do a quick and dirty "format e:"

    (*) Except when I forget.

    Thank @abbodi1406 for this, when i was testing W10MUI i had to delete the mountfolder and it took me over 2hrs going thru all kinds of attempts, then i got this info from him and it took just a few seconds:)

    Keep it up. It's better than Unlocker.

    Hi to all! Thanks for this wonderful topic about the W10UI tool. I want to update my iso of W10 2019 LTSC (it_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_2fa02691) with the last hotfix. I read many time this topic and i follow this procedure:
    1. download last hotfix from the Enthousiast post inside the [INFO - DISCUSSION + Downloads] Windows 10 1809 FINAL b 17763.xxx (PC) [RS5] thread;
    2. download last W10UI version from the github repo of abbodi1406;
    3. create a folder C:\W10UI with inside the ISO and the updates in cab format;
    4. extract the ISO in a subfolder inside W10UI folder with the same name of the iso;
    5. delete the W10UI.ini file and change the W10UI.cmd according this:
    Code:
    :: enable debug mode, you must also set target and repo (if updates are not beside the script)
    set _Debug=0
    
    :: when changing below options, recommended to set the new values between = and " marks
    
    :: target distribution, wim file or offline image
    :: leave it blank to update current online os, or automatically detect wim file next to the script
    set "Target=C:\W10UI\it_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_2fa02691"
    
    :: updates location
    :: leave it blank to automatically detect the current script directory
    set "Repo="
    
    :: dism.exe tool custom path (if Host OS is not Win10 and no Win10 ADK installed)
    set "DismRoot=dism.exe"
    
    :: enable .NET 3.5 feature
    set Net35=1
    
    :: optional, specify custom "folder" path for microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab
    set "Net35Source="
    
    :: Cleanup OS images to "compress" superseded components (might take long time to complete)
    set Cleanup=1
    
    :: Rebase OS images to "remove" superseded components (warning: break "Reset this PC" feature)
    :: require first to set Cleanup=1
    set ResetBase=0
    
    :: update winre.wim if detected inside install.wim
    set WinRE=1
    
    :: Force updating winre.wim with Cumulative Update even if SafeOS update detected
    set LCUwinre=0
    
    :: 1 = do not install EdgeChromium with Enablement Package or Cumulative Update
    :: 2 = alternative workaround to avoid EdgeChromium with Cumulative Update only
    set SkipEdge=0
    
    :: optional, set directory for temporary extracted files (default is on the same drive as the script)
    set "_CabDir=W10UItemp"
    
    :: optional, set mount directory for updating wim files (default is on the same drive as the script)
    set "MountDir=W10UImount"
    set "WinreMount=W10UImountre"
    
    :: start the process directly once you execute the script, as long as the other options are correctly set
    set AutoStart=0
    
    :: # Options for distribution target only #
    
    :: convert install.wim to install.esd
    :: warning: the process will consume very high amount of CPU and RAM resources
    set wim2esd=0
    
    :: split install.wim into multiple install.swm files
    :: note: if both options are 1, install.esd takes precedence over split install.swm
    set wim2swm=0
    
    :: create new iso file
    :: require Win10 ADK, or place oscdimg.exe or cdimage.exe next to the script, or inside bin folder
    set ISO=1
    
    :: folder path for iso file, leave it blank to create ISO in the script current directory
    set "ISODir="
    
    :: delete DVD distribution folder after creating updated ISO
    set Delete_Source=0

    then i run the script with admin privileges and the log result is this:

    i obtain an iso and i try to test it in a VirtualBox machine, but after the first reboot i got an error like "Unable to complete the setup. To install Windows in the computer, please restart the installer" (i have the italian version so i translate the content) with only OK button.

    if i click OK the installer reboot and the setup go normally asking language, keyboard layout, etc until the correct termination.

    I need to worry about this error or is normal?

    Thanks in advance

    The error should not occur (the ISO seems updated correctly), i only use vbox for testing hwid activation.

    I use vmware myself and never seen it happen there neither.

    But when i encounter weird stuff i test install it on a spare system to see what happens there.

    A full esd of psf?

    When you mean a full UUP file set? use UUP>ISO
