+## Win11 Creator Architecture
+
+The **Win11 Creator** is a specialized subsystem within Winutil that creates customized Windows 11 ISOs. It operates independently from the main package installation and tweak system.
+
+### Win11 Creator Components
+
+**Core Functions** (`functions/private/`):
+- `Invoke-WinUtilISO.ps1`: Main orchestrator containing all Win11 Creator functions
+  - `Invoke-WinUtilISOBrowse`: ISO file selection dialog
+  - `Invoke-WinUtilISOMountAndVerify`: Validates and mounts ISO, verifies it's official Windows 11
+  - `Invoke-WinUtilISOModify`: Launches modification in background runspace
+  - `Invoke-WinUtilISOExport`: Handles ISO and USB export
+  - `Invoke-WinUtilISOCheckExistingWork`: Recovers incomplete work sessions
+  - `Invoke-WinUtilISOCleanAndReset`: Cleans up temp directories and resets UI
+
+- `Invoke-WinUtilISOScript.ps1`: Applies modifications to mounted install.wim
+  - Removes provisioned AppX packages (40+ bloatware apps)
+  - Injects drivers (optional) from current system
+  - Removes OneDrive setup files
+  - Applies offline registry tweaks (hardware bypass, privacy, telemetry, OOBE)
+  - Deletes telemetry scheduled task definitions
+  - Pre-stages setup scripts from autounattend.xml
+  - Removes unused Windows editions
+  - Cleans component store via DISM
+
+### Win11 Creator Data Flow
+
+```
+User selects official Windows 11 ISO
+    ↓
+Invoke-WinUtilISOBrowse → OpenFileDialog, validates file size
+    ↓
+Invoke-WinUtilISOMountAndVerify
+    ├─ Mount ISO via Mount-DiskImage
+    ├─ Verify install.wim or install.esd exists
+    ├─ Check for "Windows 11" in image metadata
+    ├─ Extract available editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.)
+    └─ Store ISO path, drive letter, WIM path, image info in $sync
+    ↓
+User optionally enables Driver Injection checkbox
+    ↓
+Invoke-WinUtilISOModify (runs in background runspace)
+    ├─ Create work directory: ~WinUtil_Win11ISO_[timestamp]
+    ├─ Copy ISO contents to disk (~5-6 GB)
+    ├─ Mount install.wim at selected edition/index
+    ├─ Invoke-WinUtilISOScript:
+    │   ├─ Remove 40+ bloat AppX packages
+    │   ├─ Export and inject drivers (if enabled)
+    │   ├─ Remove OneDrive setup
+    │   ├─ Load offline registry hives
+    │   ├─ Apply 50+ registry tweaks (hardware bypass, privacy, telemetry, OOBE, etc.)
+    │   ├─ Delete telemetry scheduled task files
+    │   ├─ Pre-stage setup scripts from autounattend.xml to C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\
+    │   └─ Unload registry hives
+    ├─ DISM /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase (saves 300-800 MB)
+    ├─ Dismount and save modified install.wim (~10+ minutes, slowest step)
+    ├─ Export selected edition only (removes all other editions, saves 1-2 GB each)
+    ├─ Dismount source ISO
+    └─ Report completion, enable export options
+    ↓
+Invoke-WinUtilISOExport (user chooses output)
+    ├─ Option 1: Save as ISO
+    │   ├─ Build bootable ISO via oscdimg.exe (BIOS/UEFI dual-boot)
+    │   └─ Output: Win11_Modified_[date].iso (2.5-3.5 GB)
+    │
+    └─ Option 2: Write to USB
+        ├─ Format USB as GPT
+        ├─ Create 512 MB EFI partition
+        ├─ Copy modified ISO contents
+        └─ Output: Bootable USB (minimum 8 GB)
+    ↓
+Invoke-WinUtilISOCleanAndReset (optional)
+    └─ Delete temp working directory (~10-15 GB)
+    └─ Reset UI to initial state
+```
+
+### Win11 Creator Validation & Safety
+
+**ISO Validation**:
+- Only accepts official Microsoft Windows 11 ISOs
+- Validates presence of install.wim or install.esd
+- Checks image metadata for "Windows 11" string
+- Rejects custom, modified, or non-Windows 11 ISOs
+
+**Work Session Recovery**:
+- Auto-detects incomplete work from previous sessions
+- Allows resuming Step 4 (export) without re-running Steps 1-3
+- Prevents redundant modifications
+
+**Modification Safety**:
+- All registry changes are documented in script (reversible)
+- Original ISO never modified; only working copy
+- Logged to `WinUtil_Win11ISO.log` for debugging
+- DISM handles image dismount with automatic cleanup on error
+
+### Win11 Creator Registry Tweaks
+
+The `Invoke-WinUtilISOScript` function applies **50+ offline registry tweaks**:
+
+**Hardware Bypass**:
+- TPM 2.0 check bypass
+- Secure Boot requirement bypass
+- CPU compatibility bypass
+- RAM requirement bypass
+- Storage check bypass
+
+**Privacy & Telemetry**:
+- Disable advertising ID
+- Disable tailored experiences
+- Disable input personalization
+- Disable speech online privacy
+- Disable cloud content suggestions
+- Disable app suggestion subscriptions
+- Remove CEIP, Appraiser, WaaSMedic, etc.
+
+**OOBE & Setup**:
+- Enable local account setup
+- Skip Microsoft account requirement
+- Dark mode by default
+- Empty taskbar and Start Menu
+
+**Post-Setup Installations**:
+- Prevent DevHome auto-installation
+- Prevent new Outlook Mail app installation
+- Prevent Teams auto-installation
+
+**System Features**:
+- Disable BitLocker and device encryption
+- Disable Chat icon from taskbar
+- Disable OneDrive folder backup
+- Disable Copilot
+- Disable Windows Update during OOBE (re-enabled at first login)
+
+### Driver Injection Feature
+
+**Optional Enhancement**: When enabled, exports all drivers from the running system and injects them into both:
+- `install.wim` (main OS image)
+- `boot.wim` index 2 (Windows Setup PE environment)
+
+**Use Case**: Enables offline installation on systems with missing drivers.
+
+### Disk Space Requirements
+
+- **Temporary working directory**: ~10-15 GB
+- **Original ISO**: 4-6 GB
+- **Modified ISO**: 2.5-3.5 GB
+- **Total needed**: ~25 GB for safe operation
+

+
+## Using Winutil's Win11 Creator
+
+Winutil includes a built-in **Win11 Creator** tool that lets you take any official Windows 11 ISO and produce a customized, debloated version — with telemetry removed, hardware requirement checks bypassed, and local account setup enabled out of the box. You can export the result as a new ISO file or write it directly to a USB drive.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> You need an **official Windows 11 ISO** from [Microsoft's website](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11) before starting. Custom, modified, or non-official ISOs are not supported. The process uses ~10–15 GB of temporary disk space, so make sure you have room.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1 — Select Your Official Windows 11 ISO
+
+1. Open Winutil and go to the **Win11 Creator** tab.
+2. Click **Browse** and select your **official Windows 11 ISO file** from Microsoft (must be 4 GB or larger). Custom or modified ISOs are not supported.
+3. The file path and size will appear on screen once selected.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2 — Mount & Verify
+
+1. Click **Mount & Verify ISO**.
+2. Winutil mounts the ISO, checks for a valid `install.wim` or `install.esd`, and reads the available editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.).
+3. Once verified, select your desired **edition** from the dropdown — Pro is selected by default if available.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This step takes around 10–30 seconds depending on your drive speed.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3 — Run the Modification
+
+Click **Run Windows ISO Modification and Creator** to start the customization process. Winutil will:
+
+**App & Component Removal:**
+- **Remove 40+ bloat apps** — Clipchamp, Teams, Copilot, Dev Home, new Outlook, Bing apps, Solitaire, and more
+- **Delete OneDrive setup** from the image
+
+**System Customization:**
+- **Bypass hardware checks** — removes TPM, Secure Boot, CPU, and RAM requirement enforcement so the ISO installs on unsupported hardware
+- **Enable local account setup** — injects an `autounattend.xml` that skips the Microsoft account screen during OOBE
+- **Disable BitLocker and device encryption** — removes startup overhead
+- **Disable Chat icon** — removes chat taskbar button
+- **Strip unused editions** — keeps only your selected edition, saving 1–2 GB per removed edition
+- **Clean the component store** — runs DISM cleanup to reclaim another 300–800 MB
+
+**Privacy & Telemetry Tweaks:**
+- **Disable telemetry** — advertising ID, tailored experiences, input personalization, speech online privacy
+- **Disable cloud content features** — app suggestions, Microsoft Store recommendations
+- **Remove telemetry scheduled tasks** — CEIP, Appraiser, WaaSMedic, and others
+- **Disable OneDrive folder backup** — prevents automatic backups to cloud
+- **Prevent DevHome and Outlook post-setup installation**
+- **Prevent Teams installation** — blocks auto-install after OOBE
+- **Prevent new Outlook Mail app installation**
+- **Disable Windows Update during OOBE** — re-enabled automatically on first login
+- **Disable Copilot and search box suggestions**
+
+**Optional: Driver Injection**
+- If enabled, injects all drivers from your current system into the install.wim and boot.wim — useful for offline installations on machines with missing drivers. This is an optional checkbox in Step 3.
+
+A live log shows progress as each step completes. This stage takes **10–30 minutes** depending on your disk speed — the WIM dismount near the end is the slowest part, so don't close Winutil while it's running.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4 — Export Your Result
+
+Once modification is complete, choose how to save your image:
+
+{{< tabs items="Save as ISO,Write to USB" defaultIndex="0" >}}
+
+  {{< tab >}}
+  1. Click **Save as an ISO File**.
+  2. Choose a save location (defaults to your Desktop as `Win11_Modified_yyyyMMdd.iso`).
+  3. Winutil builds a dual BIOS/UEFI bootable ISO using `oscdimg.exe`.
+
+  > [!NOTE]
+  > `oscdimg.exe` (part of the Windows ADK) is required. If it's not found, Winutil will attempt to install it automatically via winget. If that fails, install it manually: `winget install -e --id Microsoft.OSCDIMG`
+
+  **Typical output size:** 2.5–3.5 GB (down from 5–6 GB original)
+  {{< /tab >}}
+
+  {{< tab >}}
+  1. Click **Write Directly to a USB Drive**.
+  2. Select your USB drive from the dropdown (click **Refresh** if it doesn't appear).
+  3. Click **Erase & Write to USB** and confirm the warning — **all data on the drive will be permanently erased**.
+  4. Winutil formats the drive as GPT with a 512 MB EFI partition and copies the modified Windows files.
+
+  > [!WARNING]
+  > Double-check you have selected the correct drive before confirming. This operation cannot be undone.
+
+  **Minimum USB size:** 8 GB recommended. Writing takes 10–20 minutes.
+  {{< /tab >}}
+
+{{< /tabs >}}
+
+---
+
+### Step 5 — Clean Up (Optional)
+
+Click **Clean & Reset** to delete the temporary working directory (~10–15 GB) and reset the tool back to its initial state, ready for a new ISO. You'll be asked to confirm before anything is deleted.
+
+---
+
+### What the Modified ISO Does Differently
+
+When you install Windows 11 from your modified ISO:
+
+- **No Microsoft account required** — create a local account directly during setup
+- **No hardware checks** — installs on machines without TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or supported CPUs
+- **Dark mode enabled by default**
+- **Empty taskbar and Start Menu** — no pinned apps, Chat icon removed
+- **Windows Update disabled during OOBE** — automatically re-enabled on first login to prevent setup interruptions
+- **BitLocker disabled** — removes startup overhead on first boot
+
+---
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| "install.wim not found" | Not a valid Windows 11 ISO — download a fresh one from Microsoft |
+| "oscdimg.exe not found" | Run `winget install -e --id Microsoft.OSCDIMG` then retry |
+| USB drive not showing up | Plug it in, wait a few seconds, then click **Refresh** |
+| Modification seems stuck | The WIM dismount step is slow — wait at least 10 minutes before assuming it's frozen |
+| "Access Denied" error | Make sure Winutil is running as Administrator |

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Always download Windows ISOs from official Microsoft sources or trusted tools like Rufus/UUP Dump to avoid tampered images.

+> [!NOTE]
+> Newer Windows 11 ISOs may not boot correctly on older versions of Ventoy — make sure Ventoy is up to date before use. If issues persist after updating, this is a Ventoy compatibility limitation outside of Winutil's control.

-        Performs the following operations against an already-mounted WIM image:
+        Removes AppX bloatware and OneDrive, optionally injects all drivers exported from

+        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.
