Hi Nuhi, so now that Windows 10 vanilla is EOL I'm creating LTSC 2021 install media, and my ISO has both the normal version and the "N" version. I figured I would keep them both because why not, I only ever plan on installing the normal non-N version but who knows, maybe the other will come in handy someday. Here's my setup:
Host: Win 10 22h2 x64
NTLite version: 2025.10.10649
Target media: Win 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, version 10.0.19044.1288
Updates:
kb5066791 (LCU)
kb5011048 (.net 4.8.1)
kb5066130 (.net 3.5 - 4.8.1 CU)
kb5007401 (.net 3.5 critical DU)
kb5067017 (Safe OS DU)
kb5019180 (Intel MMIO security fix)
I mount the normal non-N version and apply all updates to both install.wim indexes, both boot.wim indexes, and the winre.wim inside install.wim index 1. NTLite correctly detects the SafeOS DU and checks the winre.wim box on the Apply page for me.
The problem is that there is no way to apply the updates to the winre.wim inside install.wim index 2. NTLite won't let me mount both index 1 & 2 beforehand, so it doesn't know about it and doesn't do anything with it.
So the ask is: if updates are being applied to multiple install indexes, and a SafeOS DU is in the update list, can NTLite apply the updates to all winre.wim images inside all selected install images? And not just the winre.wim inside, for example, index 1?
Thanks!
