    Many updates supersede those that came before, then you have a cumulative update to take care of most of them with a few to go on top. Something similar is taken care of with the Simplix util as each month usually replace past updates with more recent ones.

    I used this update pack with the boss911 integrator today and after installing on a VM the windows update process reported ZERO updates to install. Except the few optional updates that are related to telemetry.

    So I would say yes.

    Thanks for the heads-up, as I have been using the /NoUSB switch with offline integration.

    Major differences to version 20.5.20:
    1) Much faster scanning for updates and their components. Now the process takes seconds rather than minutes.
    2) External search(scan?) and integration modules are now integrated into the engine(assume updatepack engine).
    3) Changed updates sorting to achieve proper installation order. (essentially, this solves the issue when an antivirus interferes with renaming of update folders(assume the ones contained in the updatepack) and messes up the proper order of update installation)
    4) Added break mechanism to avoid endless updatepack loop after failing to install updates on a damaged system. Before, the updatepack re-launched after discarding changes due to update installation failure. Now, the updatepack will retry installation 3-5 times(depending on the situation/system condition) and stop itself.
    5) Removed dotNetFx4 ESU Bypass as it causes problems with installation of some programs. The updatepack will not automatically remove it from your system, you can manually remove it by executing the following command:
    Code:
    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\msiexec.exe" /f
    Any .NET 4.x updates you can install manually with the following parameter:
    Code:
    ndp48-kb4552921.exe /msioptions "ESU_LOCK=2D40812E-974C-4EA2-8DCC-63C992D505B9"
    Major differences to version 20.5.22:
    1) Fixed problem when changes are not saved after offline integration with /NoUSB switch.
    2) Corrections to break mechanism for updatepack loop - added scanning before cleanup.
    3) Added ability to install addons on a live system. Same method(place addons next to updatepack.exe), only the addons will be installed after reboot.

    I did my best to translate this but there are some terms I'm probably misinterpreting( @simplix ).

    Thanks for the reply.

    I appear not to have 20.5.22 in my downloads folder.

    Have you got a link?

    @summersuns You can run the 20.5.30 patch against 20.5.20 as well. The end result .exe hashes are the same.

    Thanks @shhnedo @blkthrone I took your advise and used UpdatePack 20.15.20 with DaRT 7
    I was doing it wrong by inserting Dart_w7 index 1 in Winre.wim index 1 but when i did inserting Dart_w7 index 2 in Winre.wim index 1 and now its working
    Can you tell me what is /FixOn used for?
    When I didnt added NVME drivers, windows installed correctly from usb but when desktop appeared all the usb devices stoped working even that usb is not working from which I installed windows
    Again thanks for your time really appreciated.
