Use the UUP files in "c:\windows\softwaredistribution\downloads" folder to create iso's, or disable UUP downloads, then you'll get full esd (if it still works). After finishing the upgrade the files will be in "c:\windows.old".
Maybe it doesnt work anymore? Couldn't get the update within 30 minutes with uup off. After re-enabling uup, the update came immediately
Maybe with this build they fixed the Devices icon in Settings. Every time you click on it, it closes settings.

Every build supposedly finally fixes the "initializing updates..." and 0% bugs. I wonder if they mean it this time.
