wimsPE updates

[Jausse]

Does someone know why SSU and CU are not applied to wim files wimpe, wimse and wimre ?

The function Update-CumulativePE (AllFunctions.ps1) have exception to skip installation of the latest
cumulative update (LCU) for build greater or equal to 18362 for wimpe, wimse and wimre.

Likewise, servicing stack update (SSU) is skipped for those same wims (function Update-ServicingStackPE).

Also, the media sources are not updated for build greater or equal to 18362 or release greater or
equal to 1903 (function Update-SourcesPE).

Let's drag up an old one that has become current again after needing to update the WinRE since November last year. Reading back the history of the versions I came across version 19.5.22 stating there are issues in updating WinRE in Windows 10 1903 and the process has been disabled. Has this ever been solved? Or is there a way we can enable it again to check if things are working ok now?

In the meantime; what you can do to get an updated version of WinRE is to open up the winre.wim that is in the specific OSImport folder under WinPE, apply packages to that and then run the Update-OSMedia process, the updated winre.wim get's copied into the new OSMedia in the process and eventually finds it's way into the new OSBuild you create in the end.
