The problem is not using an USB stick or an USB CDROM. The old ISO from 1909 (18363.959) boots for me, but 2004 (19041.450) doesn't, generated with the linux tools from uupdump.ml. For debugging I once modified the BCD to get a menu with longer timeout and that shows up just fine. Something breaks later, when the installer prepares the ramdisk ... would be my guess. And I have no real knowledge how to proceed any further with this. And there are still all the OOBE timeouts / errors (like OOBEKEYBOARD), which I get when the setup process runs at first start, after the installer has finished. Very seldomly it works, most times it doesn't. The only solution the Internet provides, is to try again, until it doesn't happen; that is not practical with my x86_64 notebook hardware. It's too slow and happens almost always for unknown reasons. >From my POV the best seems to be to get some AArch64 HW, like a RasPi 4. That seems to be able to run Windows Arm64 via KVM, from all I can tell reading about it. After getting a LibreOffice bug report for an Windows Arm64 build, reading about Windows Arm64 in QEMU in years old blog posts, I just thought I would fix the Windows cross build fallout and in the end do a "quick" Windows install, check and fix my LibreOffice test program for LO's UNO bridge and be done with it... then reality happened. ATB and thanks for the comments, Jan-Marek
