latest version perfect - attaboy!!!
BTW, to whomever it may concern, I can also confirm that the addiing of -B7 to the lz4compressor string will yield a few seconds' gain on the preramloading of the lz4'd vhd.

CrystalDiskMark was used to measure speed of Mini-7x64 VHD RAMOS as compared to Mini-10x64 VHD RAMOS and as compared to 10x64 FILEDISK on SSD
Posted 07 January 2021 - 08:55 AM
my comparison was between lz4s with and without the -B7 parameter

VHD with GPT layout is not compatible with MBR Grub4dos booting, which requires MBR Partitioning of VHD.
Use Update G checkbox to Update existing UEFI Grub4dos file EFI\Boot\bootx64_g4d.efi

- Update UEFI Grub4dos (= Grub4efi Or G4E) which adds support for GPT layout of VHD for UEFI RAMOS booting
Just to report grub4dos-for_UEFI-2021-01-10 new version is working fine here too.
No problem when loading to Ram and booting (externally uncompressed) VHDs installed on Wimboot or Compact mode.
Also if they are (externally) lz4 compressed they are loaded fine to Ram and boot fine.
NOTE: As in previous cases, booted first to a1ive's grub2 and chainloaded to UEFI grub4dos to load and boot the VHD files.

Cleanup After Windows Update of Full Win10x64 Compact LZX
Windows 10x64 Compact LZX UsedSize is rapidly growing (size is doubled ) as each month the Cumulative Update for 20H2 is received.
However, there is an easy way After Update to Reduce Windows almost to its original Size e.g. by keeping only latest folders in WinSxS and in System32\DriverStore
1. use Config > System > Storage > Temp Files to Cleanup Windows (old) Update and Drivers (e.g. keep only latest NVIDIA driverfolder) and more ....
2. Remove Latest Cumulative Update LCU RollupFix folder and Remove Download KB cab Files - use Shift Delete to empty folders LCU and Download
\Windows\servicing\LCU \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
3. use VHD_WIMBOOT for Capture LZX and Apply in Compact LZX mode for more reduction of UsedSize
In this way the UsedSize After Windows Update was reduced from 14.7 GB to 6.6 GB for Compact LZX Win10x64 + Office
The RollupFix folder looks like having WinSxS content ready for Update of WinSxS
Screenshot shows the Windows content in WIM files of 20H2 2020 November compared to After 2021 February LCU Update and compared to 2021 March Update After Cleanup
20H2 March Update == After Cleanup
20H2 Nov - Feb - March
Windows Update Cleanup Option does Not appear in case only one Latest Cumulative Update has occurred.
In my case there were 2021 February and March LCU Windows Updates
In that case Windows Update Cleanup removes one of the RollupFix folders in LCU and Cleans WinSxS by keeping only latest folders in WinSxS

sorry wimb, I did not understand how and where to operate; my servicing folder barely contains the trustedinstaller.exe file only and my softwaredistribution folder has become a zeroed-out file, as a result of my massive purging by powerrun commands.

Sure, but for your Win10 version you don't receive the monthly Windows Update with Latest Cumulative Update that doubles the UsedSize of Windows OS.
So it does not apply to your case ....
Posted 11 March 2021 - 03:45 PM
ok then, sorry; I wonder what the point is in receiving the updates, though.

ok then, sorry; I wonder what the point is in receiving the updates, though.
I know how to block the monthly Windows Update for my own computer by using Firewall App Blocker .
What I want is to prepare a Clean Updated WIM file suitable for computer Repair e.g. computer hacked by ransomware.
Such WIM file I can use as a quick fix to Inject new Win10x64 VHD System without disturbing existing configuration.
Such WIM file of 5.4 GB contains then 20H2 x64 + Clean Updates + latest security fixes + Office + 7-zip + VLC + Extra Programs ......
Clean means we keep only latest folders in WinSxS and in System32\DriverStore and all old folders are removed in WinSxS and DriverStore.

Time to Load 10XPE WIM file Or Mini-10x64 VHD file into RAMDISK varies a lot with way of booting and type of bootdisk....
What were the capacities of the disks ?
