Windows 10 Hotfix Repository

If Windows Update says they're needed, then keep them installed. (I guess we don't have a choice now in Win10 .) I'm just saying what I see at a component level in the updates. Windows Update does the same thing in Win8.1 and especially so in Win7- it wants to have certain older updates installed even though there are newer updates installed that make the older ones superseded.

 

It could just be that the update servers don't know that everything has been superseded. *shrug* only ms knows why they still list these things.
I do know that they don't set pending flag tho, so installing them both and then doing a resetbase won't net you a huge image.
Of course there's not a whole lot of point because you'd just have to remake your image in another day or two with the next patch.

 

Second it.

 

Exactly!..

 

Hello Everyone,

I have a question in regards to slipstreaming the updates.

Given I have KB3074674 as .msu and both KB3074679 and KB3074686 as .cab do I need to slipstream them in a proper order, or will the tool know the order itself by simply using

Code:

dism /image:[directory] /add-package /packagepath:[updates directory]

Thanks!

 

WindowsUpdate install update in this order:
Kb3074674 -> 3074686 -> 3074679

I have integrate in this order.

 

Thanks, but out of curiosity, if I specify a directory where all updates are located, how will DISM determine the order of installation?

 

No, you must specify the path and the file name.
Example:

Code:

dism /image:f:\install /add-package /packagepath:f:\Kb3074674.msu
dism /image:f:\install /add-package /packagepath:f:\Kb3074686.cab
dism /image:f:\install /add-package /packagepath:f:\Kb3074679.cab

Otherwise DISM install in sequence of KB and with priority to the .cab file

 

Thank you very much I was hoping it would be smart enough

 

Just integrate them together in one command, order doesn't matter

 

Thank you but a bit confused now. Given same files were modified by several updates, how DISM tool determines which file to apply from the package?

 

The system's servicing stack determines that

higher version components takes precedence

 

Thanks for all the answers - very informative.

Even if overtime system will get 1286 updates, in theory they can be dropped to one folder and DISM will apply them correctly?

I also have a question if there are any precautions I should take into account if I want to use DISM to mount wim, as well as DISM to commit updates but wimlib to create .wim file (due to nice compression) and to create iso?

 

No, if you have all update in cab files is correct, but if you have msu and cab files mixed is necessary using the sequential order otherwise Windowsupdate required to install the kb3074679, because the update KB3074674.msu is last installed.

 

How to integrate updates to Windows 10? Which is the best way?

 

Out of curiosity I have tested this at this very moment.

It is true that in case there are mixed .cab and .msu files DISM will get .cab first then .msu last (even though in this case .msu had older files).

If I unpack .msu and extract .cab file out of it and DISM has all the .cab files in one directory it then applies them in order of naming basically.

There is also a possibility that the order in which DISM processes .MSU and .CAB files physically does not matter as during the application process it decides either to apply OR skip the file from the archive, basing on their versions. Would be most logical way.

In that case as abbodi1406 said, they can be all applied from one command.

 

Yes, but it's recommended not to integrate more than 100 updates in one dism session
and the number would be lower if some updates are big-sizes

none that occur in my mind
just export/rebuild wim after integration

Fantastic. Thanks!

 

Negative, You can do them out of order.
I did it in a vm with 79 first and it worked out fine.
