Hi, Is there any negative effect by integrate system-updates into another non-system wims (boot, winre)? What I know: There are only very few updates which are in fact are full-apply-able for these. My idea: Beside of integrate another setup language, also updating any system-components which are in that wim. My guess: It updating just every existing things. Non-apply-able updates will be just ignored. Done. Is that right, or what will happen? Is there any whats worth to update, anyways? Thanks for replys.
It's what MSFT does on the refresh ESD/ISOs, update all wim files. SSU, CU, Du for SafeOS and if it's 1909, the 1909 EP too, are all integrated in all wim files.
I used to add all or most of the same updates from the install.wim to the boot.wim indexes, but tbh it probably only helps the non-bootable index that setup uses for upgrades. Boot setup is pretty straight-forward in that it just partitions, formats, and applies the indexes. Barring a missing driver, there's really not much of a need for updates. Not saying you shouldn't do it, just that you won't notice any difference unless you open the command prompt and try to use a lot of non-standard services and such.
