Hello, I use Windows 10 1703 edition pro , I have integrated the updates in offline mode for microsoft surface I would like to know if there is a way to make windows update believe that the system installed is a surface (whereas it is a windows 10 pro). I know that there are windows 10 Ltsb 2015 2016 and 2018 . I do not wish to change editions of windows 10 , build Windows 10 1703 (for surface) is supported until the year 2025
also delete the Windows10Upgrade.exe file from the \Windows\UpdateAssistantV2\ folder Windows10Upgrade.exe (the win10 upgrade assistant) was bundled in 1703 CUs since the KB4284874 update from June 2018
how would we do this? thanks! the CU is adding Windows10Upgrade.exe file in the \Windows\UpdateAssistantV2\ folder but I would love to remove this from the update cab before I even install it? how can this be done? thank you mr xinso
A modified hotfix can be installed or integrated offline only. So you can 1. remake a cab to save HDD space, dism /image:z:\1 /add-package:z:\Modified-Windows10.0-KB4577021-x64.cab 2. or just leave it alone and install from the extracted hotfix folder. dism /image:z:\1 /add-package:z:\Modified-Windows10.0-KB4577021-x64
What we talked about yesterday is a LCU already installed. Q: How to find the sub-package directly from LCU cab?
ok I found the relevant package etc, I tried installing the extracted cab offline, but it said something about the source files could not be found...use the source option to specify the location of the files needed to restore the feature I am trying it on ltsb 2016 with latest cu, however it extracts to 6 cab files along with update.mum, do I extract each of the 6 cab files into 1 big folder?
yes I know that, but even with ltsb 2016, ms sneaks in the upgrade assistant and exe into windows, even though its not necessary for the ltsb branch!!
