Windows 10 LTSC 2021/21H2, up-to-date as of 2023.02.20. The build number is: 10.0.19044.2406. Update method: VM install, updates via WU, .NET 3.5 enabled in VM, sysprep, capture.

LivePE and backup/recovery/etc tools

The LivePE was built using WinBuilder (based on Glenn's work from the Last20 Builder) but with updated WinBuilder, preset, theming, and ppAppsLive. Includes a collection of tools in the form of ppAppsLive that get integrated inside the boot.wim (rather than run off the .iso root ppAppsLive folder). This does swell the boot.wim and make the memory footprint of the LivePE larger, but can prevent some issues with the USB drive being undetectable, etc. Recommended system memory: 4GB. You can still add ppAppsLive to the ppAppsLive folder on the .iso root if you require additional apps in the LivePE. Includes the Active@ Suite, Terabyte Image, various partition and recovery softs, system utilities, etc.

ssWPI/ppApps/ssApps
A small number of pp/ssApps and latest versions of SetupS (22.09.07.0) and ssWPI (22.9.19.0) are included. With this image, ssWPI runs at firstlogon and will install the included pp/ssApps. StartIsBack start menu and Notepad3 (dark) are pre-installed via $PostLogonApps folder.

Themes
I've adopted the themes scheme I used in later Win11 builds, which is to say I modified/made various theme files that determine accent color and wallpaper rotation (once daily). (This is the better approach to configuring a theme than regging and having to manually set dark/light mode, etc.) The included walls are 1920x1080 (1080p/HD). Besides these walls in the default Windows wallpaper folder, I also included a number of 4K wallpapers in the respective 4K folder.

Activation
KMS_VL_ALL script was used for activation (automatically runs from the sources\$Scripts folder during install).

Security
Hosts file included (\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). Defender was turned off via Defender Control in the sysprep VM but can be re-enabled. Telemetry/asimov, CEIP, etc., were removed via NTLite. The user account password is: 123

Runtimes (pre-installed)
- VC++ Runtimes 2005-2022
- DirectX v9c (updated)
- Collection of older runtimes
- .NET 3.5 enabled (.NET 4.x installed by default)

Tweaks
A large number of (Last10) reg tweaks are included. Given the fact there will be no feature updates to this LTSC version for years to come, this set of tweaks should prove a worthwhile collection that can be expanded upon and improved over the years. (The tweak sets are a bit different between various versions of Windows.)

Notes
As always, when checking for Windows updates, first run "WU - Hide Updates" via desktop context cascading menu "System Tools" (this runs wushowhide.diagcab included in system root). When it starts, click "Advanced," de-select "Apply repairs automatically," "Next," and "Hide Updates." Here you will see a list of available updates. Here you can select the updates (such as Defender or Malicious Software Removal Tool") that you want WU to skip/not download when you check for updates later. This tool will also list drivers offered by WU. After this, you can run WU without it downloading and installing updates you don't want. The password for the user account is: 123
