mmm... Should you add the Offline Update MiniTool to the PE_Tools launcher? Some end users may find it really useful.
Thank you for the Link and I think it is certainly an interesting application that can be quite useful.
The wumt_x64.exe size is 14.3 MB and makes it less suitable to integrate it in PE_Tools, but we can use it as a standalone app.

In case booting from USB with PE is not available we can use Windows Shift Restart to arrive in Windows Recovery Environment.
In WinRE blue menu Advanced Options we can use Command > notepad > File Open > Run as Admin WinNTSetup_x64.exe
and Select Captured WIM file of Windows 10/11 x64 and use Setup for Apply in VHD e.g. Inject New System in VHD next to existing Windows.
Thank you for making WinNTSetup v5.3.4 which is working quite well for many cases.

I'll add this to "unattend\Win7-11-Select.xml" in next release:
Very good and Thank You !

Can you Add a Tweak so that Password never Expires for LocalAccount UserName as defined in Unattend Installation ?
After using WinNTSetup I normally Open Admin Command Window and give command:
wmic UserAccount where Name='UserName' set PasswordExpires=False
Without this command then Password would Expire which is unwanted.

Thank you so much,
But I'm using Windows 11 x64 and when I run the file
"USB_FORMAT_x64.au3" still doesn't show FAT--32 optionOk, I will check this and report about it later and try to find a solution.

I have a reference to your .au3 code, but after running this file, the FAT32 USB format selection list for USB is hidden. Made me unable to select on it. Can you tell me how to fix it in your "USB_FORMAT_x64.au3" file?
That FAT32 Size Option is Unhidden when you use Windows 10 or 11 as Operating System
and the Option is Hidden in Windows 8 or 7 Operating System that don't support 2 partitions on Removable Devices.So I suggest you to use Windows 10 x64 or 11 x64 as Operating System.

MinWin Install with Printer and Scanner Enabled in DrvStore_Inf.txt works OK, when Printer is Connected AFTER Install.
Bluetooth Audio Device Added AFTER Install works OK, but Bluetooth cannot be Selected as Playback Device
Can Print LibreOffice Document. I should say everything works except Selection of Bluetooth as Audio Playback Device
