Windows 11 25H2

[MichaelMaar]

Are there any things worth knowing about Windows 11 25H2 and autounattend.xml?

[memstechtips]

I'm working on an updated autounattend.xml file.

I'm not sure if the current version works on the 25H2 ISO, I haven't tested yet, but it should work because it uses the same underlying code as 24H2.

But yeah an update is coming in the near future

it works btw cus i use the xml file on the top of 25h2

but you may need to use other tools if you want to debloat further which what i did but overall i dont think xml file need any changes, just tell them to get the drivers before hand and make a folder called their machine name and driver and keep in inside and put it inside the win install the rufus bootable usb that we made, simple and easy way to debloat also highly reccomended to check the services and turn of the manufactures shit that they run to collect your data, overall its easy but takes some time to understand

I simply use a USB2LAN adaptor that is accepted by windows 11 default drivers. Then I run all updates and done...

I have now tested the installation of 25H2 with XML on an HP ProBook 470 g5. It works fine - let's see how it runs in the long run. If there are any problems, I will report them here.

What about getting this as an update (25H2) on already installed systems (24H2). Are there any settings in the XML file that prevent this?

You can't apply it via an in place upgrade, in that case you can use Winhance and apply the recommended config.

I have released a new version of the XML file and a major update to Winhance, I recommend that you watch this video which provides a full demo of the current version.

Hey there,

I have released a new version of the XML file and a major update to Winhance, I recommend that you watch this video which provides a full demo of the current version along with how to use the new version of WIMUtil and how to install the drivers etc. You now also have the ability to create an autounattend.xml file based on your selections in Winhance, so you have more control over which apps are removed and which settings are applied. I have also archived the version of WIMUtil in the screenshot and a better version of it is now available in Winhance.

I have also created this video about v3.0.0 of UnattendedWinstall, I suggest that you watch it too if you're interested.

I have used your newest autounattend through your new Winhance app, one of the issues so far that I'm facing is when installed a browser ( FireFox ) it asked to be the default browser and after setting it as Default browser, the setting does not stick meaning each time running FireFox it asks to be the default browser. maybe since answer files removed Microsoft Edge it broke something?
