Important
If you use Windows Defender, it may incorrectly flag this version as malware. SmartScreen may also do this. Don't worry; this is safe to download and use.
This AV solution flags this program because it lacks code-signing certificates, which are quite expensive (as of January 2025, 660 and 864 dollars for 3 years of SV and EV certificates, respectively, from Comodo).
If you use other antivirus solutions, you will not see this problem. Learn more here
Important
An issue has been detected in the PE Helper that prevents it from creating ISO files if you have a version of the Windows ADK earlier than 10.1.26100.2454. This has already been fixed and will be included with Preview 4. You can do the following:
- Wait for Preview 4 to arrive
- Update the ADK and the Windows PE add-on to the latest version
- Replace the PE Helper with the patched version, which you can get here
Bugfixes
- The PE Helper now detects whether the selected index is invalid
- Fixed a visual issue in the image index switch dialog
New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper

- Compatibility has been improved for the latest Windows ADKs (starting from version 10.1.26100.2454 - December 2024 update):
- ISO creation will finish successfully now
- You can now create ISO files with boot binaries signed with the "Windows UEFI CA 2023" certificate:
Note
You will see the following message when checking this option:
The PowerShell command in question is [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023'. It will be added to the Help documentation for the release of version 0.6.1 as a stable version.
