Integrate standard Windows Store apps to ISO

[denis351145]

Hi, my question is this. I want the Windows 11 distribution to have, firstly, standard applications in the full version, and not stubs (I solved this problem by creating an image via UUP dump and setting StubAppsFull = 1 in ConvertConfig.ini), and, secondly so that the image contains the applications in their latest version. Because even the created image of Windows 11, version 23H2 contains old versions of applications, for example, Media Player in the program information says 2022. They can be updated in an already installed system through the Microsoft Store, but I would like an image with the latest versions of applications. Does anyone know if it was possible to create such an image and how to do it?

Yes. But you will have to download each App's package file using:
PowerShell GUI for Downloading Microsoft Store Apps - W10_11StoreApps.ps1

I'm using someone else's API, so the download script behaves politely and only searches for one App at a time.

Add all the downloaded package files under the Updates page. When you select Ring = Retail, the presented version will be the current Store one. Ring = Fast will get you the Insider or Preview version.

If you want to disable background App updates from WU (to freeze versions), use this reg key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore]
"AutoDownload"=dword:00000002
