FORUM ALPHA TEST BUILDS

That indeed is a very good question because I just did a build last night and it says I have 33 updates installed and that don't sound right.  And then I check to see if any updates are out there and it says 78 Important Updates and 84 optional updates available.  I know there could not have been that many updates since the last catalog was released so something isn't working right.

Hello,

Thanks for the info about nvidia drivers  ... if you may create a new thread in the EX-100 help forum with an explicite name like "nVidia Drivers Installation requirements" or something better, to help other people.

About Windows Updates integration, you mean before or after installation ?
Before installation, the last time I've checked (11 January), it worked great using the WinReducer EX-100 Updates Catalog". Please tell me what's the problem. Thanks.
After installation, if you removed some stuffs in your ISO, the updates integration directly on Windows may hang (an old bug). This is because Windows search for files, and if they don't find them it simply stops the entire integration process with an error. The better way is to integrate all updates before installation to avoid this trouble.

Hey, about the nvidia drivers i will create the thread as soon as i finish testing, and about the windows updates im having the problem integrating before installation, in the removing process the updates comes first as far as i remember but the process is skipped.

Hello everyone

Hey winterstorm2050, ive reported once a problem with nVidia drivers installation and i discovered that WinSAT might be the problem, i really dont think is a WinReducer bug,its just something required by nVidia drivers setup. Also i'm having problems trying to integrate updates not only with WinReducer and i want to know if someone else have tried updating and couldnt do it as well.

Thanks

I integrate without any problem the NVIDIA drivers for my system 630M GeForce.

But I experience the problem when I try to run WinSAT. I submit it to NVIDIA the answer was to install their complete package. I remember it was OK sometime but not always.

I stop discussing with NVIDIA support as the answer was always use the complete install from NVIDIA which I found no definitive solution.

Perhaps it is due to the fact that I use in WinReducer the driver for NVDIA coming from DriverStore not the complete package from NVIDIA as a post-installation process.



Not sure I am clear but well if it can help ...

Cheers

Hey KrX the integration of updates is skipped and the log file

Jpm i think you're integrating drivers in the iso, my problem is after installation with the nvidia drivers whql, i can install them but only through Devices Manager, and it installs Geforce Experience and 3D support in which i dont use.

I understand that but if i remember well I try without the integration using the Nvidia Setuo. Video is OK but WinSAT produce the error ...

@Metaleiroll : Are you using an already updated ISO with the WinReducer December catalog ?

No my iso is clean th2 10586

Downloaded from the tech bench

And Jpm, i see what you meant now, im doing more tests and i'll report when i find out more.

EDIT*

btw im making a new iso to test WinSAT and the updates seem to have been skipped again

Windows10.0-KB3124200-x64
Windows10.0-KB3124260-x64
Windows10.0-KB3132372-x64
Windows10.0-KB3133431-x64

Maybe you are not choosing the good folder path in WinReducer, it absolutely needs to be :
- for x86 : "...\WinReducerEX100\WORK\INTEGRATE\UPDATES\x86"
- for x64 : "...\WinReducerEX100\WORK\INTEGRATE\UPDATES\x64"

If you download all updates using WinReducer Updates Downloader tool, there are no problem ... but if you download by yourself all updates, then you need to put :
- those for TH1 in the "TH1" folder
- those for TH2 in the "TH2" folder

Do not choose any other folder path otherwise all updates will be skipped.

So now i see the problem, im selecting "\WinReducerEX100\WORK\INTEGRATE\UPDATES\x64\TH2"
Sorry for the inconvenient, i thought it was a problem cause i've tried with other software as well and wasn't able to integrate.

No problem ...

Hey

After lots of testing and formatting my PC i discovered that i was wrong again, at least i tested and ISO with only WinSAT removed and nvidia drivers installed normally. And i've created a new ISO removing tons of stuff and i got the nvidia problem so im gonna leave both WCCFs if it might help since i cant figure anything out xD

Can you go to "Gestor de Dispositivos" and upload image on 125% and 150% on highest resolution possible.

Thank you

Hey Everyone

Winterstorm2050

After tons of tests and mistakes i finally can say Internet Explorer is the problem with nvidia drivers, again i dont know if its a dependency or a bug, might be a bug cause i had it removed on my last build of windows 8.1, and nvidia was working just fine.

expanium

I cant post the requested photo cause i already got rid of the iso, i just made it for testing, but everything was working fine no bluring anything or weird streched fonts, if the problem persists then it might be a windows bug cause there are a lot of this small bugs everywhere in windows, by the way VMWare keeps setting the scale back to 100%, so if youre gonna test i recommend you to keep an eye out for VMWare settings.

@Metaleirol : Is it "Features - Internet Explorer" ? Or "Network - Internet Explorer (Engine)" ?

Ops sorry forgot to mention that, is the Network section Internet Explorer (Engine)

I confirm that functionality will be available with v0.5.8.0 ... it be released tomorrow ...

Hi,
I think I found a bug when I try to WinReduce a Win10 Home edition
I use "delete unused editions" and the result is no edition can be found when installing
The original .iso is with .esd but no success with .win either

Cheers

Hello,

I've tried with an untouched ISO (v1511) using all the settings you mentioned except "Integrate - Drivers" and I encountered no errors during installation ... with v0.5.8.0.

By the way, I confirm the v0.5.8.0 today release (this time in few hours)

Hello everyone

@winterstorm2050
Just tested the new build and everyhting is working great the "Remove Navigation Panel" as well thanks =D, besides the High DPI thing.

In fact my problem still occurs in v0.5.8.0

Let me explain more what is not working.

I have an .iso dowloaded with MediaCreationTool which contains 2 Windows editions the Windows 10 Pro and the Windows 10.
I mount the Second one (Windows 10) and I use the Remove unneeded version.
That lead to the


I try also to use wimconverter to produce an .iso with only the Windows 10 version. I get the same result
I hope that can help to solve my problem
Cheers

Dear winterstorm2050,

can you tell me, when you will add the so important removes ( to my mind ) "Telemetry packages" and "Windows Diagnostic Tracking package" to EX-100 ?
Do you have scheduled a particular alpha version for these removes ?

Thank you in advance

Hello guys,

@Metaleiroll : Thanks for the feedback

@ Jpm : the ISO downloaded from MediaCreationTool is, usually, encrypted so maybe this is the trouble. I'm downloading the version right now and let you know today my result. Thanks for the report

@caphp : If everything if OK, I will release a new build Monday 25 or Tuesday 26, and I will add those 2 components. Thank you for the reminder
