    The script should work the same for 8.1.

    I did WHD on a Live W7 OS a couple of days ago and the only desktop script I got was to cleanup and/or reset the base. Maybe when you integrate it works a little differently. I just d/l WHD updates for 8.1 update 3 and I excluded 65 or so and kept 140.
    I'm bound to figure it out, Shirley.

    I faced this unfortunate issue once, WHDownloader.exe cleans the extraction folder first
    so i learned to only set new empty folder for extraction

    i hope you can restore the iso

    Great Stuff All Around............

    But A Few Queries!

    1.
    How / When It is applicable when directly using Install.wim from Win 8.1 x32 ?

    2. Will it be fine using Audit/Sysprep/Generalize with it ?

    Thanks. ...

    Thanks for the answer. Still some confusion about Audit/Sysprep/Generalize!

    As I understand, I prepare the Updated Win 8.1 x32 ISO & the Cleanup operation is pending after the installation ( to be executed on the first normal boot from the desktop script).

    Will it be OK to Customize & Finalize the installation in Audit mode & run the script from the desktop on the final installation on a machine OR should it be / can be run from the Audit mode desktop itself ? Options ?

    Please suggest.

    Thanks. ...

    From Readme Text Remarks Section :

    Code:
    ===============================================================================
    Remarks:
    ===============================================================================
    
    # How to perform the pending cleanup operation for online OS:
    - run WHD-W81UI.cmd and install updates, assuming you choose to cleanup OS image (with or without resetbase)
    - restart system
    - run WHD-W81UI.cmd again, it will go directly to Cleanup or Reset OS image (it doesn't install or check any updates)
    
    # for offline integration, a simple script will be created on desktop RunOnce_W10_Telemetry_Tasks.cmd
    after installing the OS, you need to run it as administrator, it will be self-deleted afterwards
    
    
    Thanks. ...

    This will not work if you integrated updates offline
    you have to run cleanup yourself
    Code:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

    You can download all available updates and set W8.1UI to use the ones you want, and after online/offline integration it will result in a cmd on the desktop with the telemetry disabling stuff.
