    So if you wanna slipstream it into an iso, you would have to insert the ssu as well? Is that correct?

    based on official info: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-10-hotfix-repository.57050/page-556#post-1629480

    MSFT is still cloudy on this topic.

    Yes, as it has been for ages:)

    Q: what do you have to install first, the ssu or the cu?
    A: It depends on the version of Servicing Stack defined in the update.mum file of the update hotfix.

    Case1: 19041.630 LCU, Applicable to any version of Servicing Stack.

    Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~19041.630.1.6.mum
    Code:
    <installerAssembly name="Microsoft-Windows-ServicingStack" version="6.0.0.0"
    
    Case2: 19041.621 SSU, Applicable to any version of Servicing Stack.

    Package_for_KB4586864~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~19041.621.1.0.mum
    Code:
    <installerAssembly name="Microsoft-Windows-ServicingStack" version="6.0.0.0"
    
    Case3: 19041.479 20H2Enablement, Applicable to version 19041.153 of Servicing Stack.

    Package_for_KB4562830~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.2.mum
    Code:
    <installerAssembly name="Microsoft-Windows-ServicingStack" version="10.0.19041.153"
    
    So, for case3, Servicing Stack version 19041.153 must be existent or installed before 19041.479 20H2Enablement package can be successfully installed.

    Yeah, that will make it more clear to novices.

    Whatever the dependency is, SSU goes before LCU.
