Win10XPE will help you build a lightweight desktop Windows 10 or Windows 11 Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) for performing tasks or troubleshooting a Windows OS while it is Offline or for installing a Windows OS. It can be booted via USB drive, CD-ROM, or hard disk.
Uses of WinPE:
- Set up your hard drive and prepare it for installing a Windows OS
- Troubleshoot problems with the OS
- Clone or Image a Windows system and later Restore it
- Make changes to the Windows OS, when needed
- Perform Recovery operations
- Recover data from unbootable devices
- And more…
The Project was on TheOven.org Forum: Win10XPE Project - or rather on the old Win10XPE Project forum
The Project is also on TenForums Forum: Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media, followed by Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media (2)
with updates and additional 3rd party Apps
It was on old Win10XPE Downloads Page, downloaded more than 400000 times over there
Win10XPE is a complete project based on Windows 10 or Windows 11 Recovery Environment with many windows features added. Based on a new Concept, its main objective is to be simple, user-friendly and to be as fast as possible. Use the many XPE plugins available to customize your build to your taste.
Note AV: By its nature, Win10XPE uses programs or applications which uses functions at the core of windows.
Some AntiVirus mark them as positive. These are false alarms.
An example with NirSoft's ProduKey to Recover lost Windows product key, 12 engines detected this file as Unsafe or Hacktool, that's not true.
You can read this blog written by the same author as ProduKey: Antivirus companies cause a big headache to small developers.
Blog written in 2009, the situation did not get any better.
It shouldn't be like that and it's really frustrating. The work of AV companies should be better.
They should be reprimanded for this, we are their customers.
I can only advise you to put an exclusion on the Win10XPE folder.
