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
Bugfixes
No issues were fixed in this release.
New features
Image Tasks
- A new tool has been added to view and manage the services of the Windows image:
Note
For Preview 1, you can only view the services. Management capabilities will be added in future preview releases.
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- A new autorun window has been added to allow you to access the items you want more easily
- A new tool designed to prepare computers for Sysprep generalization has been added, called the Sysprep Preparation Tool (special thanks to @Real-MullaC for helping with testing and expansion of this tool)
The Sysprep Preparation Tool helps with cases where you're creating reference images with a selection of third-party applications. To perform a perfect job at generalizing the target image with sysprep, this guide is recommended.
To automate all of the preparation tasks, the Sysprep preparation tool is there to help. Apart from automating the preparation, it is also clever and will perform preliminary checks on your system.
