Always keep the customized wim (without updates integrated), save, and use a copy for frequently changing.
Code: The Servicing Stack in Windows Vista consists of three levels: - At the top of the stack are the top level clients, such as Windows Update, Programs and Features, and MSI, which deliver packages to a system. The top-level clients are also responsible for control of user input and collection of user preferences during the servicing process. - In the middle of the servicing stack is the Trusted Installer, CBS. The top-level clients pass downloaded packages to CBS, which evaluates each individually to determine if they are applicable to the system. For applicable updates, CBS provides the components to CSI, generates appropriate installation events, and registers packages with Programs and Features if needed. Finally, CBS exposes the interfaces to enumerate and inventory the updates. - At the bottom of the servicing stack is CSI, which uses the Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) to do its work. Replace Vista with any OS post Vista and you have your answer. There have been slight changes since then, but the mechanism is still the same and more than enough for someone who asks this sort of questions and wants to learn what is this about.
It's what it is, the SSU needs to be installed first, maybe @abbodi1406 can explain it again, he did before.
Consider SSU as update for updater system, if updater system is buggy, it may not install updates correctly, so its better(or forced by MS) to install that first
It is only a safety measure to apply SSU first. It is common sense among other things if you read the Technet post to which I made reference. You can apply in any order you want, on your own risk though. The recommendation remains to apply SSU first, but this does not imply that you cannot do the other way around. Only that if you apply against the commonly accepted rules, then you have to lead, not ask for advice.
While this is not the full explanation in the technical sense, at the intuitive level this is the correct statement and for most people is accurate enough.
Hi, after all the researching in this forum. Am I right to say that using W10UI to integrate the latest SSU, CU and Flash(and DU?) into my 1803 thumbdrive(downloaded from techbench using rufus) allows me a much more up to date version as compared to downloading using s1ave77s’ 1803 september edition? EDIT: nvm learnt a lot today!
can anyone redirect me to the dl link of the first KB4464455v1 CU cab file for the IB .104 of 1809 EDIT NVM, found it
The Kb's downloaded from the Catalog are in the form of .MSU Files. Just click to install..CAB Files don't have a built in installer & need DISM to install
