Short answer nothing Template? That's your OS. It will start with the OBOE, just like any brand new installation. So, just take a copy of the VHDX. To have a virgin media. then you may want reboot just to verify that the OOBE proceeds nicely and test that everything is fine (if so just delete the vhd, and use the virgin copy whenever you need it). Then you can use the vhdx as is in real HW, (just add it to the bootloader using bcdboot (or GUI tools like bootice or easybcd) OR You can mount it, capture the image in install.wim and use it to create a bootable ISO.
That's a way, but why complicate your life when you can use hyper-v vhdx disks, w/o any need to reboot or use external dives? For the record Hyper-V can use physical partitions pretty well, assuming are needed for the purpose (and they aren't)
Since I only have one machine, that's gonna be the reference machine presently. So it's okay to boot with the regular windows install media? I don't have windows PE. At what point do I hit shift + F10? And after I get the install.wim file, will windows continue installing on that machine or does it matter? Lastly, just add the wim file into the source folder on the install media and use that as the template install media?
I'm using the latest official Iso image from Windows website. It should be supported I believe. Nothing in the "readme" file mentions anything about UAC button disappearing.
Thanks alot for your Answer very appreciated that's exactly what i wanted to know have a good day sir
@MSMG Need to service en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso with MSMG 12.5. Have some questions. 1) Is version 12.5 fully compatible with LTSC 2021 (en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso) ? 2) Post installation of the customized ISO… a. Are there any integrity violation errors after customization? b. Does the Snipping tool work fine? c. Are there any Explorer search issues? Thanx

1) Yes the Toolkit is compatible with LTSC 2021 v10.0.19044.1288 (en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso) 2) a) With my previous tests no integrity violation errors have found. b) Make sure you integrate dependent appx for proper functioning of the settings and taskbar flyouts or screensnip. Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx c) There are no Windows Explorer search issues.
So I remove all windows components of iso 22000.318 and "yes" UAC button is still missing. I will try again with 22000.856 and see.
If you are using Autounattend.xml to install the OS then make sure the Computer Name and the logon User Name are not the same.
Oh, that might actually be the issue then! I will try that and edit this post if it fixes it. Ty. EDiT: u were right! Ty!
