Refreshes numerous screenshot image references across the documentation to reflect the latest UI changes. Updates text descriptions in several documents (Build, Prerequisites, Quickstart, Windows Settings) to align with recent features, such as the new Windows Media Source options, explicitly mentioning PowerShell 7.6+ requirements, and clarifying the Device Naming and Copy Unattend.xml behavior.

Introduces a new `SerialComputerNames` device naming mode that allows automated device naming during deployment based on the BIOS serial number. The mapping is provided via a CSV file with `SerialNumber` and `ComputerName` columns.
This feature requires `CopyUnattend` and writes a `SerialComputerNames.csv` file to the USB deployment media, replacing the need for manual prompts or prefix selection when device serial numbers are known in advance. The UI has been updated to support creating, loading, and saving the CSV mapping content.
Updates the FFU UI core to better track the loaded `DeviceNamingMode` configuration.
Introduces flags to detect explicit user changes versus default states.
Ensures that if the user does not explicitly set the device naming mode, it defaults gracefully and preserves legacy script behaviors.
Updates documentation to reflect the actual behavior of not writing the `DeviceNamingMode` key unless modified.
Adds parameters for x64 and arm64 unattend XML file paths.
Updates the BuildFFUVM_UI to let the user pick specific XML files to copy or inject instead of requiring them to exist in the `unattend` folder.
Adds validation to ensure the selected unattend XML files are not empty.
Updates documentation to reflect the new functionality.
Introduces an explicit "Prompt" option for device naming to allow technicians to enter the device name during deployment. This replaces the implicit legacy behavior, providing clear UI controls and validation to ensure that Unattend.xml is copied, which is required for prompt-based naming. Relevant documentation is updated to reflect this new workflow capability.
Refactors the `ApplyFFU.ps1` script to use a new `Read-MenuSelection` function for standardized user prompts, improving input validation and allowing users to skip optional prompts (like prefix selection, AP JSON, and PPKG files). Updates sample unattend XML files to use `*` for the computer name, falling back to default Windows naming if not specified. Updates the documentation to reflect the new UI and script behaviors.
Introduces new parameters and UI controls to give users more choice over device naming when applying an Unattend.xml file.
Users can now specify a device name, use a static or template-based name with the `%serial%` variable, or continue using a list of prefixes.
The UI is updated with a new Device Naming expander to guide the user through the options and clearly indicate the requirements for each mode, ensuring that mutually exclusive options like Copy Unattend and Inject Unattend are not selected together.
Documentation is updated to reflect the new functionality.
The Hyper-V switch selection in the UI previously did not connect the build VM to the network during provisioning. Since internet-connected Sysprep and capture flows are still experimental, this introduces an explicit "Enable VM Networking" checkbox to the Hyper-V Settings page that defaults to off.
- Adds the `-EnableVMNetworking` parameter to BuildFFUVM.ps1 to conditionally attach the Hyper-V network adapter during VM creation.
- Persists the setting through FFU config files and blocks UI execution if enabled without a valid switch.
- Refactors WPF event handlers in FFUUI.Core to fix dropdown scoping errors.
- Updates documentation and the sample configuration file to reflect the new behavior.
By optimizing and mounting the VHDX directly on the host for image capture, the build process no longer needs to boot the VM into WinPE, create SMB network shares, generate temporary local accounts, or rely on complex Hyper-V switch IP configurations. This streamlines the workflow and eliminates multiple networking and permission-related points of failure.
This change also removes the need to generate and attach WinPE capture media. All related parameters (`ShareName`, `Username`, `VMHostIPAddress`, `CreateCaptureMedia`, `CleanupCaptureISO`), UI controls, capture scripts, and documentation references have been removed or updated to reflect the simplified architecture.
Updates the prerequisites documentation to explicitly instruct copying the folder contents rather than extracting the entire zip file. This helps prevent nested folder structures during setup. Also cleans up trailing whitespace.
Adds missing descriptions for cleanup, file copying, and download priority parameters to ensure complete help documentation.
Expands the documented supported values for Windows architectures, releases, and SKUs to accurately reflect expanded capabilities for ARM64, Windows Server, and LTSC deployments.
Corrects minor typos, updates default values to match the current implementation, and reorders parameters alphabetically to improve readability.
Corrects internal markdown links by adding the proper directory path. Prevents broken navigation and ensures users are directed to the correct documentation pages.
Improves navigation on narrow viewports by moving the TOC into the article and collapsing long lists with a show more/less toggle.
Prevents duplicate TOCs and reduces scroll “fighting” by disposing/reinitializing scrollspy on resize and keeping auto-scrolling behavior limited to the right-side desktop panel.
Keeps heading permalink icons visible by allowing horizontal overflow.
Prevents long code blocks and tables from overlapping the page TOC by enabling horizontal scrolling where needed.
Prevents mobile scroll “fighting” by limiting scrollspy and the page TOC to desktop-sized viewports.
Removes any existing TOC markup and related layout class when below the desktop breakpoint to avoid interfering with touch scrolling.
Prevents long paths, links, and inline code from overflowing into the page TOC.
Stabilizes the two-column layout by defining grid areas, keeping breadcrumbs full-width, and forcing content to respect column width so wide elements don’t render under the TOC.
Improves TOC readability by adding a background and stacking context when content still overflows.
