We did it! We broke gist.github.com ;) So head over to the new home! Thank you all!
2021.10.20: https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat now open for interaction
- new update introducing no 11 setup checks on boot in VirtualBox
Not just an Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper script with ingenious support for business editions,
A powerful yet simple windows 10 / 11 deployment automation tool as well!
configure via set vars, commandline parameters or rename script like
iso 21H2 Pro MediaCreationTool.bat
recommended windows setup options with the least amount of issues on upgrades set via auto.cmd
awesome dialogs with keyboard focus to pick target version and preset action
Auto Setup with detected media without confirmation
- can troubleshoot upgrade failing by addingno_updateto script name
Create ISO with detected media inC:\ESDfolder without confirmation
- can override detected media by adding edition name / language / arch to script name
Create USB with detected media after confirmation
- can click Back and select ISO instead to save in a different path
custom presets above support 'oem' media customization, that can be disabled by addingno_oemto script name
- pickup$OEM$folder (if it exists) with any post setup tweaks like$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\setupcomplete.cmd
- writesources\PID.txtfile to preselect edition at media boot or setup within windows (if configured)
- writeauto.cmdfile to re-run auto setup on demand, from media (includes Skip TPM if sources are 11)
- writewinpeshl.inifile in boot.wim to Skip TPM Check on media boot (if sources are 11)
Select in MCT with manual confirmation for everything in MCT GUI
- no 'oem' media customization, script passes products.xml configuration and quits without touching media
Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update v1 (wmi-based) or v2 (ifeo-based) standalone toggle scripts in
MCT\dir
- system-wide, unblocks insider previews on windows update, or running setup.exe manually while online
- when using created media on another pc for the first time, can launchauto.cmdfrom media once to enable

We broke gist.github.com ;) Script has a new home now: https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat
use download ZIP button or pastebin link to get the script, as saving the Raw file breaks line endings
No, everything works fine without delay or stuttering. Over time, I have equipped my 11 years old Dell laptop with 8 GB RAM (instead of 4) and an SSD drive (Samsung SSD 850 EVO).
