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
- Fixed an issue where the PE Helper could apply the installation image to the wrong volume if it had been assigned drive letter C (#262, thanks @Real-MullaC for spotting)
- Fixed an issue where the WDS Helper Server would not export installation images to "install.wim" if they were named differently in WDS
New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- The WDS Helper server component now offers a web dashboard from which you can view logs, clear temporary files, and stop the server more easily. It also provides detailed information about the connection and the server:
- The ISO creator can now download and install the latest version of the Windows ADK (10.1.26100.2454) for you if it can't find it on your system:
Note
If it detects an existing ADK, however, it will use that as opposed to the latest one
- The default size of the ISO creator has been increased to 1280x720
- The PE Helper now adds the
WinPE-StorageWMIpackages to the Preinstallation Environment - The command line can now be accessed from the main menu when you boot to the ISO file or when you start the boot image via WDS
Note
The command line is not available when you start the installation with HotInstall. The command line will also remind you that the environment will restart after 72 hours of uptime, This is because Windows PE, in order not to be used as a pirated version of Windows, imposes such a limitation
- A new command-line alias,
netinit, now lets you initialize the networking stack and enable the firewall on demand; and other administration scripts are now included
Note
Network initialization will only work when you plug in your device via Ethernet, and if the Preinstallation Environment detects the network adapter. It will not work with wireless connections
DynaLog
- DynaLog now logs process IDs, which can help you tell multiple DISMTools processes apart more easily
Miscellaneous
- The following components were updated:
| Component | Version in latest preview | New version |
|---|---|---|
| Markdig | 0.41.2
| 0.41.3
|
- CODE: more LINQ queries have been introduced
- CODE: a new progress reporter module has been introduced. This is used by the ISO creator, but is expected to be used in other places as well
