The explanation fits what was tested, except the part that it is about large number of updates.
Expected is only 2 in Windows 7, nothing more, two
Tested adding Windows 7 updates to the
Updates page, and indeed only 2 were added to the Post-setup.
Files ended up in the expected \sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\Updates
windows6.1-kb2533552-x64_0ba5ac38d4e1c9588a1e53ad390d23c1e4ecd04d
windows6.1-kb2603229-x64_aea29b57253c8f271d99b76f09839dbf1c0a7f86.msu
SetupComplete also had corrects paths %WINDIR%\Setup\Updates.
Also tried using the
Post-setup page directly for a few update files manually, the files were then in the temporary Setup\FiIles as expected.
If it's Win10 or 11, there should be no Post-setup updates, so I wonder what is going on here and would like to replicate it.
Please provide a preset, could be that previous version saved it somehow wrong - that's a valuable file then.
Any steps that come to mind to trigger many Post-setup updates, or a wrong location of the update file.
Thanks.
