Custom removes more than the others, but you can't uninstall/install updates directly from Windows anymore, if I remember correctly

you mean LCU? Via Windows update or manually installing the MSU or both?

then how'd you update windows every month?

Integrated into the image

And before you ask the question, the complete installation takes me about 1 hour 30, taking my time (with all the software installed, etc...)
Most are portable and already integrated into the ISO (like Winrar, etc...) and each software parameter is also integrated into the ISO (registry key or files)
The longest to install is Office, about 5, 10 min with all the settings, etc...

so if I get it correctly,
you integrate every month's new LCU into the ISO (image) with every other software you use (via post setup I believe)
and install it over the existing installed Windows version like an in-place upgrade

May I know why you take this route actually? Creating images every month, & performing the in-place upgrade to update windows,
spending so much time & decreasing your SSD endurance ...

and all this just for using custom DISM, to save some space in the ISO image file?

No, it's a clean install and not necessarily every month
I said that the softwares are integrated into the image, no with Post-Setup or other
After installation, the software is ready to use.

Given all the tests I do with nuhi, making an new image for install is peanuts
My SSDs are doing very well, Optane 905P is still in excellent "health"

And no, it's not just for DISM (besides I use the Custom option since the end of W10) I remove WU and all related components
This is my use, I never said it was for everyone and that everyone would like it
 
Not everyone have time for that, and it is not suitable for some people who uses professional softwares like from autodesk or adobe...

Hostrefresh is better way or just don't use custom mode to clean, don't hardcore edit the windows so it is functional and able to get updates.
 
Install a Windows version ie. 22631.4460 as latest and update normal every month, run NTL with Preset = more effective than RemoveInstalls.
After run - with Defender off - a cmd:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
Pause
Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Less time consuming effort put to montly WU on a working machine and/ or a NTL baseimage, witch often have failures lurked and fixed in later updates.
1,5 hour i can install a fresh Windows 23H2 or 24H2 with all my programs working after NTLited.

WinPE Setup for 24H2 defaults to a new Setup client.

Some users claim to have install problems with it, while others think it's too ugly. If you prefer seeing the "Classic" client, you can apply this reg file to boot.wim (Setup):
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup]
"CmdLine"="X:\\sources\\setup.exe"
Click to expand...

learn.microsoft.com

Winpeshl.ini-Information: Starten einer App beim Starten von WinPE

Winpeshl.ini-Information: Starten einer App beim Starten von WinPE
learn.microsoft.com

Because Windows 11 24H2 Classic Install Setup better Functional and Ventoy behavior there Solution to Create a Winpeshl.ini which is manualy to Copy into Monuted Boot.wim Setup Image into Folder /Windows/System32 ( maybe after Copy the Inheritance authorization is to remove
and set System as owner in File Properties)

So Winpeshl.ini content should be:

[LaunchApp]
AppPath = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\setup.exe

For Ventoy only one file have to be changed with courtesy to Natsuru3 for Save Boot setup.
Keeeping NTL's protections aka Compatibility options for the new 24H2 work as expected.
Just one advice - run an audit setup - be sure you delete elements in Panther folder except it's and COPYPROFILE, then delete Unattended an %OEM% folder for next step.

I'm sorry for a noob how you apply a reg file to the boot.wim file? sorry if this is an stupid question!

Mount Microsoft Windows Setup (amd64), it's index 2
Registry page, add .reg file
Then Apply page and Process
 
Can anyone tell me if a new official ISO was released this month? I can't access it, the internet here is complicated.
 
Only Volume Licensing customers have restricted access to a monthly updated ISO from MS. They're not allowed to re-share ISO's.

Everyone else must use whatever the last ISO was publicly released, and apply the missing Monthly Updates until you are current. That's always been the case for Retail users like yourself.

Neither the ISO download or the MCT version are updated every month. They are updated once in a while, if MS believes there is a major bug that needs to be fixed, and it replaces the older version so unpatched ISO users are not harmed by the bug.
 
I understand and that was exactly what I was looking for. The internet here sometimes blocks Microsoft sites, I believe it is a routing problem, but I was able to see that the last one is still from October.
 
W11 24H2 only has one official ISO edition (Oct 2024)
W11 23H2 had three editions (Dec 2023) *
W11 22H2 had three editions (May 2023)
W10 22H2 had three editions (Dec 2023) *

* Re-release for (Black Lotus) UEFI boot loader security fix
