    Repair option from boot not working!!!

    Some are now reporting (starting with @pp03) that the repair option from boot is not working anymore.

    Because it was originally reported as my DaRT integration tool maybe causing this i started investigating this and it ended up as a more general problem, caused by something MSFT did.

    Test conclusions:

    Currently failing repair option (2xH2/26H1 tested):

    Code:
    - MVS ISO
    - Official MCT
    - ESD>ISO
    - Updated ISO (W10UI but probably manually updated too) W10UI v62 fixed it!!!
    
    Working options atm:

    Code:
    - UUP dump (UUP>ISO)
    - W10UI v62

    So this mystery seems like Microsoft made a requirement for CloudRecApi.dll, wlanapi.dll and mobilenetworking.dll on Win11 builds for a new update to run recenv.exe on boot.wim?
    I'm a little confused as to how Win10UI_10.62 fixed this, but @abbodi1406 probably worked some if build number magic

    Use W10UI to update the ISO or UUP dump to create the uptodate ISO.

    MCT and manual ESD>ISO are still broken.

    No, but with W10UI v62 you can update the base (IoT) Enterprise 2021 LTSC (19044.1288) ISO and all will work.

    Thank you for the generous help. I've a lame question,
    if I create updated iso's (using W10UI to add cumulative msu update packages), then I add DaRT in to updated ISO(we do extracting iso, mounting, modifying the image for 2 times), It will make more wear/tear that may affect the SSD's life isn't?. any idea to make them both in single operation so no need to write large amount/size files and it'll save the SSD life. (recent days of the storge/memory devices price made so much fear :oops:)
