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.
