This article applies to the Validation OS 2025.02 release, corresponding to the ISOs with the prefix "26100.3323.250220-1537".
What's new
- Added a the “Inbox Drivers” feature package that adds a limited subset of inbox drivers, including some ASIX ethernet adapters.
- When including the Out of Box Experience (OOBE.pkg) in an image targeted FOR USB boot, GenImage will automatically filter out Microsoft-WinVOS-Setup-Package from the composition (this package is unsupported in durin USB boot).
- Includes an experimental script to convert a generated Validation OS WIM file to a custom sized VHDX: GenImage\CustomVHDX.cmd
Issues Fixed
- Fixed issue where kernel mode crash dumps were only created if the Power feature was included in the composition. Now, there are no option package requirements for kernel mode crash dump creations.
Known Issues
- When including both Microsoft-OneCore-SerialConsole-Package and Microsoft-WinVOS-Bluetooth-Package on certain ARM64 systems, the machine will become unstable and can crash.
- The Microsoft-WinVOS-Setup-Package is located in both the common package location and under OOBE (this is fixed in the upcoming March 2025 release)
- Adding the Out of Box Experience (OOBE.pkg) package to arm64 devices will result in an infinite reboot cycle (this will be fixed in the upcoming March 2025 release)
- Image generation is not possible if the input (base) WIM/VHDX is compressed. This is a limitation of dism.exe and considered by design.
