WIN10XPE fails to load

[dancer78]

In version 1.0.16 and 1.0.17 and 1.0.18 Win10XPE starts loading but fails about a quarter of he way .
error says disk was removed.
Version 1.0.14 and 1.0.15 work fine

here is the error

I'm having the same issue with 1.0.18 and Gandalf's Windows 10PE x64 Redstone 5.

You have to read a little bit in the forum and on ventoy.

If an ISO does not boot in the normal way there is the alternative with F1: Memdisk or extract the boot.wim and boot from the boot.wim

Yeah - As mentioned in the tested image thread, these ISOs worked fine prior to 1.0.16.

Memdisk does work. Thanks for the reminder

Any idea why it worked without memdisk in 1.0.16 and before and now it doesn't ?

You write that WINXPE does not work with 1.0.16, 1.0.17 and 1.0.18.

I used Ventoy 1.0.15. The .16 was released yesterday, I'll give it a try.
You're right! It works with 1.0.16.

I think there are too many different Bios and UEFI systems. 450 different ISO should work without problems on all systems? We must not forget that longpanda has to modify the code for some ISO to make them work. This can cause problems for other ISOs that were working before. We should not complain if we need to use Memdisk or an extracted boot.wim.

I don't think anyone is complaining - I posted my particular ISO (Galdalf's) as tested and working with 1.0.15 just prior to 1.0.16 being released and am now reporting it as no longer working since it is now listed on the "Tested ISO" page.

Note: Memdisk isn't an option in my environment due to ISO size vs. RAM - Workarounds are great, but my guess is that longpanda would want to know when there are things that no longer work following a release, and that's why this thread exists :-)

I tried multiple sizes of win10xpe without f1 to see what happened and made list below.
XPE 1,2 worked
XPE 3-6 failed with error in picture 1
Xpe 7-11 failed with error in picture 2

NOTE: all Win10XPE iso's will load using f1 (memboot)
      and all boot.wim will load if ventoy_wimboot.img is there

I am having the same problem with 1.0.18.
