Windows Assessment Toolkit known issue

The Fast Startup assessment may not automatically reboot some systems using an ACPI Time and Alarm device after shutdown when the “use wake timers” option is selected in the assessment configuration. If this is blocking test automation, clear the option and retry.

What’s new in the Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 1809

Windows PE

Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) is released separately from the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). To add Windows PE to your ADK installation, download the Windows PE Addon and run the included installer after installing the ADK. This change enables post-RTM updates to tools in the ADK. After running the installer for the WinPE add-on, the WinPE files will be in the same location as they were in previous installs of the ADK.

With the latest version of Windows Performance Recorder (WPR), WPR Profiles (WPRP) with Custom Events in TraceMergeProperties now work as intended. Due to this change, if a custom WPRP contains an TraceMergeProperties XML element with an empty set of Custom Events, this will no longer include the default set of Custom Events (ImageIDs, WinSat, etc). To keep the same behavior with previous versions, make sure to include the following attribute as part of the TraceMergeProperties element: Base=”TraceMerge_Default”

With the latest version of Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA), .NET 4.5.2 framework is required for certain components when running on Windows 8 installations. To ensure proper use of WPA, download the latest version of .NET.

Retail Demo Experience (RDX)

RDX 3.0 is available in Windows 10, version 1809, and will be automatically updated on Windows 10, version 1803 for connected devices. Updates include a new webpage-style layout, a new API to allow you to manage your own assets, and a digital fact tag that can be updated locally from the sales floor.

What’s new in the Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 1511

The Windows ADK now includes Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer, the Windows Assessment Toolkit, the Windows Performance Toolkit, and several new and improved deployment tools that can help you automate a large-scale deployment of WindowsВ 10.

Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD)

• Quickly create a provisioning package that you can use to customize devices without re-imaging.
• Build a customized WindowsВ 10 image for specific market segments and regions.

Push-button reset incorporates system updates by default

Users can now refresh or restore their PCs to the updated version of the system files, instead of having to reinstall each update individually.

Partial language packs now available

Want to add more languages for users when they turn on their device? Instead of adding full language packs, save space by adding just the base user interface files for a language. Later, if your user needs handwriting or voice recognition capabilities, Windows can download them as needed.

New package type: Capabilities

This new Windows package type lets you request services like Microsoft .NET or languages without specifying the version. Use the DISM tool to search multiple sources like Windows Update or your corporate servers to find and install the latest version.

Save space by running Windows from compressed OS files

You can now run Windows directly from compressed files. This is similar to WIMBoot, introduced in WindowsВ 8.1 Update 1. This new process uses individual files instead of a static WIM file. When updating system files, Windows now replaces the old files instead of keeping both copies.

Open a Windows Image or Catalog File

When you open a WindowsВ® image (.wim) file in Windows System Image Manager (WindowsВ SIM), a catalog (.clg) file is automatically created. If a catalog file already exists, WindowsВ SIM re-creates the catalog file based on the contents of the Windows image that you select. When a catalog file is created, it queries the Windows image for a listing of all the settings in that image.

To create an answer file, you must first open a Windows image file or catalog file in WindowsВ SIM. For more information about Windows image files and catalog files, see Windows Image Files and Catalog Files Overview.

Open a Windows image file or catalog file

Copy a previously created catalog file (.clg) to the technician computer or copy your customized Windows image file (install.wim) to the technician computer.

Install.wim is located in the Sources folder of your Windows Installation Media download. See OEM deployment of Windows 10 for desktop editions for steps to make and deploy Windows images.

On the technician computer, open WindowsВ SIM. One way to do this is to search for «Windows System Image Manager».

On the File menu, click Select Windows Image.

In the Select a Windows Image dialog box, select the file type in the Files of type drop-down list, and then browse to a Windows image file or catalog file. If you open a Windows image file, WindowsВ SIM will automatically create a catalog of that Windows image.

If there is more than one type of Windows image in the file, select a specific Windows image in the Select an Image box. The Windows image file or catalog file appears in the Windows Image pane.

Click Open. If you have not previously opened that Windows image file or have not refreshed the catalog file recently, WindowsВ SIM prompts you to create or re-create the catalog file.

Create a catalog file

1. Open WindowsВ SIM.
2. On the Tools menu, click Create Catalog. The Open a Windows Image dialog box opens.
3. Select a Windows image file, and then click Open. If you select a Windows image file that has more than one Windows image, the Select an Image dialog box opens.
4. Click to select an image type (for example, Fabrikam Custom Image 1), and then click OK. The catalog file is created in the same directory as the Windows image file that you selected.

Troubleshooting

If Windows SIM does not create the catalog file, try the following steps:

• Make sure you are using the Windows 8.1 version of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (WindowsВ ADK).
• To create a catalog file for 32-bit or ARM-based PCs, use a 32-bit PC.
• Make sure the Windows base-image file (Install.wim) is in a folder that has read-write privileges, such as a USB flash drive or on your hard drive.

WindowsВ SIM cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. For information about the support of cross-platform catalog creation, see Windows Image Files and Catalog Files Overview.
