    the test passed on VM. no issues. all classic apps working fine. (snipping paint calculator)

    its installed OS size 12.5 GB is similar to last release. but much bigger than that by 24H2_Integrator_10.19 (some 10 GB. must be using W10UI .mum method).

    Last weekend,

    I tested it on physical computer. Its bugs are much less than the early release.

    It has run last weekend. it's noticed that SD11 explorer got freezing-up often. no response to mouse click. my quick fix is to close the explorer. then re-open a new explorer. my computer was running tiny11 and it didn't have this issue.


    Can you look into the issue? Thanks,

    I'll look into it...

    Some online comments suggest that Explorer in Windows 11 has been experiencing some bugs.

    Let's see if we can figure out what it is...

    There are many questions about this online; I just checked again.

    Technicians recommend running SFC /scannow, among other measures, in almost all cases.

    However, in our script, I disabled Windows Update by default at the end of the installation.

    What we could try is to change this and leave Windows Update enabled and run it after installation to check for updates.

    To do this without modifying the script, after installation, run the \Utilities\ToggleWindowsUpdate_v3.4 tool.

    This tool toggles the Windows Update operating mode.

    After that, it's up to you whether or not to disable Windows Update.

    For now, please try this method.

    Note:
    You can also use this Updates-On.bat to restore the Update Center to normal operation:
    Code:
    @echo off
    echo Enabling the Windows Update Center...
    rem Restart the Windows Update Center service
    net start wuauserv
    sc config wuauserv start= auto
    echo The service is started, the startup type has been changed to "Automatic".
    rem Delete the registry key that blocks updates
    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "NoAutoUpdate" /f > nul 2>&1
    echo The registry key that blocks updates has been deleted.
    echo Enabling Windows Update Center is complete.
    pause
    exit

    Hi, all the proposed solutions for working with the image are generally designed for more or less prepared group of users.

    I used "TsForge" to activate Win11_Ent_LTSC_25H2_26220.6690.
    It works without a problem.

    Would you be so kind as to give me the add-on with the hard drives on the bottom right of your image?

    Make a backup now, and then I'll install the image live. Let me know today or tomorrow.
    Enough fiddling around, but I know it will work.
    Have a nice evening

    Edit::: Work Online & Offline,

    You can use that for your script.
    Thank you all very much. You can always learn something here. That's just MDL.
