Version du paquet Microsoft.UI.Xaml native (installation sans internet donc sans maj) avec un ISO 23H2

Question

Bonjour,

Je suis a la recherche de la version native du pacquet Microsoft.UI.Xaml qui est présent dans l'installions de l'iso 23H2. J'aimerais savoir si il s'agit de la version 2.7 ou 2.8. Mais attention je sais que ce paquet ce met a jour quand il est connecté a internet, la j'aimerais savoir la version qui est de base avant la mise a jour ! Depuis un pc fresh en 23H2 sans connexion.

Merci pour votre aide !

Hello THIENOT, Victor,

To answer your specific requirement regarding the native Microsoft.UI.Xaml package version in a clean, offline Windows 11 23H2 (Build 22631) installation:

The native version included in the standard Windows 11 23H2 ISO is Microsoft.UI.Xaml version 2.8.

While earlier builds (21H2) relied on version 2.7, the 23H2 release—which functions as an enablement package over the 22H2 core—ships with updated "Inbox" applications (such as Phone Link, Calculator, and Photos) that have migrated their dependency to WinUI 2.8. Consequently, the install.wim image in the official 23H2 media (both v1 and v2 refreshes) provisions the 2.8 package by default to ensure these system apps function immediately without an internet connection.

If you need to validate this absolutely against your specific ISO file (as Microsoft occasionally refreshes media with different "v" versions), you can mount the ISO and inspect the image offline without triggering any Store updates.

Procedure to verify specific version in your ISO:

1. Mount your Windows 11 23H2 ISO.
2. Create a folder (e.g., C:\Mount) to serve as a mount point.
3. Open PowerShell as Administrator and run the following command to check the provisioned package directly from the install.wim file (adjusting the Drive Letter as needed): Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"D:\sources\install.wim" /Index:6 /MountDir:"C:\Mount" Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Path "C:\Mount" | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "UI.Xaml"} Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:"C:\Mount" /Discard

This will confirm the exact version string (e.g., 2.8.6.0 or similar) present in your specific binary before any network connection occurs.

I hope you've found something useful here. If it helps you get more insight into the issue, it's appreciated to accept the answer. Should you have more questions, feel free to leave a message. Have a nice day!
