    The creation tool also just lets you save the iso - but for some reason the media creation tool gives you a different iso than if you spoofed a non-windows user agent on the windows download website so that it gives you a direct link to the iso instead of getting you to install the creation tool. And for some reason only one of them worked with DISM to repair my system in order to be able to run windows update successfully.

    Also add DISM to that - if it’s corrupted it could cause you to be unable to install windows updates.

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    It’s also possible that fixing it may require the original windows installation media matching your windows version build number - which means if you’ve since installed a major windows update there may not be an available installation iso that meets the requirement. Happened to me and I was lucky enough to coax an iso out of the windows installer download page that satisfied the repair tool (oddly enough downloading an iso using the Windows Media creation tool didn’t work, but spoofing Linux on the page to directly download an iso gave me a different iso that worked)

    These are the things I do to maintain my last windows machine.



  • This is super neat even though it’s basically just running the main board plugged into peripherals - I already knew the main board was pretty small but it’s still surprising seeing it sitting on a table.

    Makes me wonder what you could do with a case the size of a wii (or even a mini wii). Plenty of space for cooling, a 2.5" SSD bay, and I’m sure you could fit lots of other goodies in it too.

    My gaming PC is sticking with 10 for the foreseeable future, it’s my only windows machine and that’s because it’s a beatsaber and fusion360 machine and I don’t want to be bothered with fixing something when I want to get a workout session in or need to urgently design a part.

    P.S. if anyone knows how to get fusion working in wine I’m all ears
