WinNTSetup v5.4.1

@alacran There was no such file. If the Win7 USB tweak don't work for you, than should use usb-boot-watcher.

Fresh Install of Windows 10 version 1909 on internal SSD is working OK for Capture and Apply using 4.0 RC2. 

After Windows Update of that version then Capture and Apply results for me in failing logon of Windows 10. 

AFAIK the problem is not related to the program, but is caused by Windows Update of version 1909.

Thank you for this update! Looking forward to trying the capture option.

 

When I try to download the new version, it stops halfway thru and says "Failed - Network error"

 

 

The download finally went thru.

Got some weird issues with 4.0 and maybe it's me. I tried to read thru all the pages but at 132 pages, it's not enough time in the day!  

 

I have a script that I made that automatically does the loads from images depending on what options you need and then the script loads the variables based on that. We still have some MBR computers and a bunch of UEFI stuff.

 

 This is my WinNTSetup command 

 

start WinNTSetup_x64.exe NT6 -source:"%USBDrive%\WINSETUP\%Folder%\%WIM%" -tempdrive:C: -sysletter:C: -bootdest:%BD% -bcd:%BCD% -runafter:"%USBDrive%\WINSETUP\%Folder%\Copy.cmd" -setup

 

With 3.9.4 this command worked fine, and it shows the right image version in the Windows Image box of 1909, and the image starts right away with no hiccups

 

But with 4.0 I am getting this error using that same command above. 

 

 

If I click OK and exit out, WinNTSetup starts up but list the wrong image version in the Windows Image Box and then I have to manually click setup. Doesn't show any of the green circles beside MBR, BOOTMGR PBR, or Boot Flag.

Thanks for this great update. Thanks also for your tips about the DPI settings, they worked like a charm. I will also mention this update to some buddies, if you don't mind...

[JFX]

@laddanator 4.0.1 should fix command line. Alternative download address: http://jfx.square7.ch/WinNTSetup/

@Atari800XL Sure, please mention this update to your buddies

Thank you for the fast reply!! The switch thing is working great now but it is still showing "Windows 10 Pro v20h1" instead of 1909. That's not a big deal really, just throwing that out there.

 

I added the line 18700= V1909 to the Win10Builds.ini in 4.01 and the right version is showing up now when I choose my image.

Hmm yes, wimlib will capture a 1909 with 18363 in XML and wimgapi with 18362.

Gotcha...I use wimlib to capture my stuff so that makes sense.

Same results obtained for Version 4.0.1

What can be the reason that version 1909 after Windows Update followed by Capture and Apply fails for Windows logon (empty taskbar) ?

Depends what you mean what that. Does the logon fails or does it takes unusually long.
Or is it more an frozen explorer.exe as you mentioned taskbar?

Can open taskmgr and kill/restart explorer.exe?

Logon takes longer and icons are missing on taskbar.
Windows Start button and My Computer icon on Desktop and Ctrl +Alt + Delete don't react.
No way to get into Taskmgr .....

Finally Desktop screen disappears and I see mousepointer on black screen .....
