Many of you know that I like to create my own up-to-date Windows images by injecting the latest Windows updates into my Windows images.
As an example, with Windows 11 23H2 there are the Latest Cumulative Update, the Safe OS Dynamic Updates, the Setup Dynamic Updates, and the Servicing Stack Updates that need to be injected into a Windows image to fully update that image. So, every month, I inject these updates. As a result, anytime I do a clean install, it already has all the latest updates slipstreamed right into the image.
For Windows 24H2, the only update thus far has been the Latest Cumulative Update / Servicing Stack combined update. If I inject this update into the Windows image, then I cannot perform a clean install of Windows because it complains that a driver needed is missing. My hope is that this is simply because Microsoft is not yet providing every component needed to perform the image updates yet.
That leads me to my question: Has anyone used UUP to create a 26100.994 image and then actually performed a CLEAN INSTALLATION of Windows from that image? If so, then it will be worth my time to download this and compare to my image to figure out what I'm missing. I think that I have only used UUP once ever, so before I go through all that I thought I would see if anyone has already tried this.
