Windows 10 Download from MVLSC

[RLR]

I usually download the latest Cumulative Update from Microsoft and add it into my WIM file using DISM so imaging is a bit faster and doesn't need to install lots of updates. I've noticed the latest version of Windows 10 (21H2)from Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Centre is reporting its version as 19041 which is Windows 20H1 when adding it to MDT or using Dism get-wiminfo. This means when I go to import the Cumulative Update for 21H2 to the Wim file it doesn't work as the version is not correct.

 

I guess this is intended but was wondering the reason behind it. Is it because the versions released after 20H1 are minor versions and just require small updates to upgrade? Can I use the Cumulative Update for 20H1 in my wim file?

For me Windows 10 Version 21H2 shows up as Windows 10.0 (19043)

This is what I'd expect but the ISO I'm downloading from Microsoft is showing 19041. I'm mounting the iso and running "dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\sources\install.wim /index:1" The version I'm getting is: 10.0.19041

 

The ISO I'm downloaded is titled: Windows 10, version 21H2 (updated May 2022) 64-bit English.

ISO file is called: SW_DVD9_Win_Pro_10_21H2.6_64BIT_English_Pro_Ent_EDU_N_MLF_X23-13803.ISO

Just found this. Will dig deeper. might have to add the enablement package the file: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/version-and-build-number-are-reported-incorrectly-after-you-build-a-new-windows-image-file-0141c14e-b3b6-e4ab-88bb-6e3ba0d96b14

Yep, this is the correct version for 21H2. I've just fixed my issue by importing the enablement package downloaded from microsoft to the wim file:

Dism /Add-Package /Image:"C:\W10Mounted" /PackagePath="E:\Downloads\windows10.0-kb5003791-x64_6c4ec017d710917b394a39f925a0149668db4e83.msu" /LogPath="W10Slipstream.log

 

The versioning is now showing the correct number. Just need to test it images okay now.
