  1. Project Not Cumulative

    I know for a fact that Microsoft wasn't always using this method. Previously, Windows Update would download roughly 2 GB of update data, including the PSF files, and then extract everything locally. It did not require downloading the full MSU package, but it still downloaded and processed the...
  2. Project Not Cumulative

    I tested this in a virtual machine, and you were correct: Windows Update does not download the full MSU package or the full PSF/WIM files, which can be around 2 GB or more. Instead, it appears to download a special PSF package containing only the files needed for the update. What gets confusing...
  3. Project Not Cumulative

    A Windows Update package is typically a little over 2 GB and contains around 400,000 files. This package is only 1 GB and currently contains about 80,000 files; sometimes it's even smaller, around 500 MB or less with roughly 20,000 files. Unlike this package, Microsoft updates usually include...
  4. Project Not Cumulative

    I suggested to Microsoft that they provide smaller, non-cumulative updates that are faster to download and install, but they didn't seem to take the idea seriously. They'd rather spend time making better emojis. The updates I'm sharing are my own work, not Microsoft's. I'm making them available...
  5. Project Not Cumulative

    @pseymour These are the same files that are included in the standard Windows update. This project is essentially identical to the official Windows update, except that older files from previous versions have been removed because they already exist on your system. In other words, this is not a...
  6. Project Not Cumulative

    No need to thank me. I’m making these updates for myself, and I’m only sharing them publicly now. In fact, I’ll only share the updates that I personally make and use, so there’s really nothing to thank me for. The main reason I share them is because I care about the environment. Based on my...
  7. WinNull - Opensource driver for Windows

    This simply returns a successful write operation while writing zero bytes to the disk. Any file written to it will immediately return EOF and contain no data. You can redirect any program whose output you want to discard to a WinNull folder or to a `.wnull` file. If needed, you can also create...
  8. Project Not Cumulative

    Looked at the command in your screenshot. The issue is the parentheses around the folder path. You entered: DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"(C:\Windows11-KB5089573-x64)\SSU-26100.8519-x64.cab" It should be: DISM /Online /Add-Package...
  9. Project Not Cumulative

    Download these two files: * `SSU-26100.8519-x64.cab` * `Windows11.0-KB5089573-x64.esd` The instructions say to replace the package path with the actual location of the files on your computer. The easiest way is: 1. Right-click the first file (`SSU-26100.8519-x64.cab`) and select Copy as path...
