Support notes

Note 1: ADK 10.1.26100.x releases
All ADK 10.1.26100.x releases (May 2024, December 2024, and September 2026) ship the same Windows PE binaries, 10.1.26100.1. Only the Deployment Tools were updated between these releases. Earlier releases are no longer available for download. For the current release, see Download the ADK 10.1.26100.9457 (September 2026).
Note 2: ADK 10.1.25398.1 Windows PE issues
ADK 10.1.25398.1 (updated September 2023) Windows PE boot images aren't supported for use with Configuration Manager due to known issues:
- VBScript doesn't work in WinPE.
- The Pre-provision BitLocker task doesn't work in WinPE.
- Devices with UFS storage, such as the Surface Go 4, don't work in WinPE.
Instead use ~~the~~ ADK 10.1.26100.Xx (May 2024, ~~Dec 2024)~~December 2024, September 2026) ~~(10.1.26100.X) or newer~~ where these issues are resolved.

General guidance

For information on applying the BlackLotus UEFI bootkit vulnerability security updates to boot images from ~~the~~ ADKs before ~~the~~ ADK 10.1.26100.1 (May ~~2024, Dec~~ 2024) ~~(10.1.26100.1)~~, see Customize Windows PE boot images. Boot images from ~~the~~ ADK 10.1.26100.1x (May 2024, ~~Dec 2024)~~December 2024, September 2026) ~~(10.1.26100.1)~~ and newer already have the BlackLotus UEFI bootkit vulnerability security update applied to them. For this reason, it's recommended to use boot images from ~~the~~ ADK 10.1.26100.~~1 (May 2024, Dec 2024)~~x ~~(10.1.26100.X) or newer.~~.
Windows Server builds have the same Windows ADK requirement as the associated Windows client version. For example, Windows Server 2016 is the same build version as Windows 10 LTSB 2016.
The last supported version of 32-bit WinPE is available in the WinPE add-on for Windows 10, version 2004 (10.1.19041). Versions of the WinPE add-on for the ADK after the ADK for Windows 10, version 2004 (10.1.19041) no longer support 32-bit versions of Windows PE (WinPE).
