I wish you good luck but remember there are a lot of USB 3.0 drivers versions per OEM (also many OEM's as Renesas, AMD, Intel, VIA, etc) and you can not put all on a boot.wim, only one set at a time.
Next time just run dism manually, it's just 3 commandlines: Code: dism.exe /Mount-WIM /WimFile:"x:\boot.wim" /index:2 /MountDir:"y:\mount" dism.exe /image:"y:\mount" /Add-Driver /driver:"z:\USB3x\x86" /recurse dism.exe /Unmount-wim /mountdir:"y:\mount" /commit Next export both boot.wim indices to a new boot.wim to cleanup dism leftovers and decrease the filesize.
Tomorrow is the new monthly patchday, simplix normally releases the new pack within 5 days after it, we'll see what happens.
As I said I don't think there will be an update pack untill the KB4056894 problem with AMD cpu's is solved or left out. Helas simplex did'nt react yet on some ones remark on oszone.net yesterday saying: "I do not think that we will see the January UpdatePack7R2, but rather the February one."
As a newcomer to this, and without meaning to cast aspersions: Has anyone here sought to audit this patch? For example: Is it clear precisely what has gone into it, or is there room for malicious files/vulnerabilities to have been included?
Have you ever wondered why the majority of firmware tools (for example: 3rd party tools to change fw on smartphones, storage devices, etc) are made by russians?
Let's repeat this again: one's more than fine with MSFT or Google spying, but when it comes to some random russian guy making a free update pack, one immediately switches to full on suspicious mode? And again: if you don't want to trust some third party because of closed source, why are you using a closed source OS to begin with?
@TbTog: Your question is a valid one. But with the nunber of tech-savvy people using Simplix (Myself included), if there was a problem, someone would have spotted it by now. Let's hope your post doesn't jinx it. Welcome to MDL, btw
Nationality isn't what prompted my question. But to address your point: I think it's entirely reasonable to be more prudent when it comes to this patch, particularly when it can affect the operating system so fundamentally. Like many who are following this thread, I too am concerned about telemetry - it is for that reason I'm looking to avoid those unnecessary updates in the first place. That does not mean, however, that I think Microsoft is more likely to steal or realistically imperil my online banking details than a piece of opaque software produced by an unknown party - or as you put it, 'some random Russian guy' about whom we know nothing, and whose patch we cannot validate. As unreasonable as Microsoft has been of late, common sense dictates that an unknown quantity released through a crack forum likely poses a greater risk than anything I am downloading from Redmond. To be clear... I'm not trying to be contentious here or sow conspiracy theories. I just think this is something critical which it is worth addressing for the sake of all our security.
Answered: Bare in mind that "tech-savvy" doesn't simply mean "can perform OS install on my own". There are people here who(unlike me) are way more familiar with these things and I think it's safe to use this pack since nobody has actually uncovered something malicious. All we ever encountered here are some tin-foil trolls who neither listen to reason, nor present valid proof of their conspiracy theories. So in the end, as far as my experience goes, this pack is safe to use. Neither I, nor the "tech-savvy" people here have stumbled upon anything suspicious. What's left is for you to decide for yourself whether or not you should download and use this pack.
Then please do not use tools you don't trust, you're just spreading FUD so far and this doesn't help at all. Thanks.
