Applies WinUtil modifications to a mounted Windows 11 install.wim image.
.DESCRIPTION
Performs the following operations against an already-mounted WIM image:
Removes AppX bloatware and OneDrive, optionally injects all drivers exported from
the running system into install.wim and boot.wim (controlled by the
-InjectCurrentSystemDrivers switch), applies offline registry tweaks (hardware
bypass, privacy, OOBE, telemetry, update suppression), deletes CEIP/WU
scheduled-task definition files, and optionally writes autounattend.xml to the ISO
root and removes the support\ folder from the ISO contents directory.
1. Removes provisioned AppX bloatware packages via DISM.
2. Removes OneDriveSetup.exe from the system image.
3. Loads offline registry hives (COMPONENTS, DEFAULT, NTUSER, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM)
and applies the following tweaks:
- Bypasses hardware requirement checks (CPU, RAM, SecureBoot, Storage, TPM).
- Disables sponsored-app delivery and ContentDeliveryManager features.
- Enables local-account OOBE path (BypassNRO).
- Writes autounattend.xml to the Sysprep directory inside the WIM and,
optionally, to the ISO/USB root so Windows Setup picks it up at boot.
- Disables reserved storage.
- Disables BitLocker device encryption.
- Hides the Chat (Teams) taskbar icon.
- Disables OneDrive folder backup (KFM).
- Disables telemetry, advertising ID, and input personalization.
- Blocks post-install delivery of DevHome, Outlook, and Teams.
- Disables Windows Copilot.
- Disables Windows Update during OOBE.
4. Deletes unwanted scheduled-task XML definition files (CEIP, Appraiser, etc.).
5. Removes the support\ folder from the ISO contents directory (if supplied).
All setup scripts embedded in the autounattend.xml <Extensions><File> nodes are
written directly into the WIM at their target paths under C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\
to ensure they survive Windows Setup stripping unrecognised-namespace XML elements
from the Panther copy of the answer file.
Mounting and dismounting the WIM is the responsibility of the caller
(e.g. Invoke-WinUtilISO).
Mounting/dismounting the WIM is the caller's responsibility (e.g. Invoke-WinUtilISO).
.PARAMETER ScratchDir
Mandatory. Full path to the directory where the Windows image is currently mounted.
Example: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\WinUtil_Win11ISO_20260222\wim_mount
.PARAMETER ISOContentsDir
Optional. Root directory of the extracted ISO contents.
When supplied, autounattend.xml is also written here so Windows Setup picks it
up automatically at boot, and the support\ folder is deleted from that location.
Optional. Root directory of the extracted ISO contents. When supplied,
autounattend.xml is written here and the support\ folder is removed.
.PARAMETER AutoUnattendXml
Optional. Full XML content for autounattend.xml.
In compiled winutil.ps1 this is the embedded $WinUtilAutounattendXml here-string;
in dev mode it is read from tools\autounattend.xml.
If empty, the OOBE bypass file is skipped and a warning is logged.
Optional. Full XML content for autounattend.xml. If empty, the OOBE bypass
file is skipped and a warning is logged.
.PARAMETER InjectCurrentSystemDrivers
Optional. When $true, exports all drivers from the running system and injects
them into install.wim and boot.wim index 2 (Windows Setup PE).
Defaults to $false.
.PARAMETER Log
Optional ScriptBlock used for progress/status logging.
Receives a single [string] message argument.
Defaults to { param($m) Write-Output $m } when not supplied.
Optional ScriptBlock for progress/status logging. Receives a single [string] argument.
