New features
- Branding and color tints have been refreshed:
Dark mode
Light mode
Note
You can revert to the old color scheme used by the status bar and the panels in the Personalization settings:
- You can now report Store logo asset preview issues from the AppX package information dialog:
- The OneDrive folder exclusion tool now supports excluding user SkyDrive folders
- You can now export Windows images to new files
- The program can now clean up mount points on closure (as an option) and on-demand:
Note
This operation can take a VERY long time, so the option is not enabled by default
- When opening a File Explorer window to select a file, the program will now do that instead of just opening the directory the file is in
- Internal errors are no longer shown on a generic dialog. Instead, they are now displayed in a dedicated window:
Note
This window copies the error information to the clipboard and lets you quickly create a new issue on this repository. Also, basic machine information is gathered to help isolate an issue to a specific hardware or software configuration. This information contains the following:
- Machine information: computer manufacturer and model, BIOS name and description, and System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) version
- Operating system information: operating system name, version, platform, and whether it is a 64-bit installation
- Processor information: processor name, manufacturer, and family (WMI type)
No user information is gathered
- The App Installer downloader now shows the download URL, the download speed, and the estimated time remaining for the transfer:
- All information dialogs have received Search capabilities
Tip
In the driver information dialog, begin your search query with og: to search for drivers based on their original file names!
- Video playback support has been added for tutorial videos
Note
To experience video playback, you must set Internet Explorer browser emulation settings for DISMTools. The program will do it automatically, but you can always merge DT_IEConfig.reg into your system. The installer will also set the registry key automatically.

- Multi-boot scenarios
An intermediary step in the OS installer
Note
The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK), plus the Windows PE plugin, are required for this function to work
- The pop-up version of the mounted image manager can now be closed by pressing the Esc key

- New copies of DISMTools now use Consolas (11 pt.) as the default log view font (thanks CodenameFlux for recommending)
- You will now get error information if the ADK Deployment Tools copier fails
- The automatic orphaned image reload procedure has been improved, now featuring greater visual feedback thanks to a progress dialog:
