    Hey Sun Lion! I did not mean to put you on the spot, or put any pressure on you to produce what-so-ever! I think that is exactly the sort of thing that played a part in Wojciech bailing (though we know who else ran too roughshod and too much on this thread and Wojciech's other project threads and likely played bigger role).

    All I wanted to do was show my appreciation, which is real! As well -- all Windows scripting projects of this kind are derivative work; so it's not only good to give credit, it's just as important to take credit! You too may run out of time, patience or both to take things further, and someone else might pick things up where you left them -- it's always good to be able to reach the last person on a project like this to see what they figured out, and what they didn't.

    Anyhowdy, you're swell for pushing this rock a little further up the hill! And it's pretty obvious from all the likes I'm not the only one that thinks so!

    Hi @SunLion, thanks for the big update.
    I found in hfixes_ltsc.txt, you updated line 5-7 and 85-88 to update the original Feature update to Windows 10,
    version 21H2 (19044.3324) to
    version 22H2 (19045.4529).
    Is 22H2 can be installed on LTSC 2021? Is this intended or any reason behind?
    Thanks for checking.

    These LCU are applicable to all 19041/2/3/4/5 versions.
    What differentiates them are the enablements (KB5003791 for 19044 and KB5015684 for 19045) of each one.

    Therefore, both version 19044.4529 and 19045.4529 are updated by the same LCU (KB5039211).

    You can confirm this information with that contained in the topic below, from Enthousiast:

    After OS fresh install, I toggled Windows Update on, check updates... found these two still need to be installed.
    Code:
    2024-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5039211)
    Status: Pending install
    2022-08 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5012170)
    Status: Pending install
    I'm using LTSC

    Do you have a log file to help with analysis?

    What script did you use?

    What ISO image did you use as the source?

    Exactly! And there's really no actual technological improvement or advancement in Windows 11 over 10, none -- in fact there is significant, measurable performance degradation in Windows 11 on virtually every metric important to Users.

    Add to this you sacrifice native control over the how the OS operates, and then there's the hot, obtuse mess that has been made of various interfaces like 'Privacy & Security ' where not only you don't have as much control, it takes literally 300x as many steps to accomplish the same thing -- if you want to manually disable just the spyware and telemetry that Microsoft allows you to control.

    There are some interface changes that some may find aesthetically attractive in Windows 11, but if you really like them you can have them in Windows 10 anyway with far less of a performance hit.

    Why anyone, would pay more in time, effort and money, to get less of everything important, just because it's 'new' is hard to understand in 2024 where people should be a lot wiser to this sort of thing -- is very hard to understand. Add to this, Slimdown 10 just makes the performance, control, privacy and security gap favoring Windows 10 even wider, and the Windows 11 proposition even uglier...
