    Different install.esd in C:\RecoveryImage and C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources


    When upgrading, Windows 10 creates the folder C:\Recoveryimage to store the files to revert the upgrade if needed, meaning it contains the install.esd file from your previous build. The folder C:\$Windows.~BT stores the install files for the new, upgraded build, its install.esd being the one for the new, upgraded build.

    An example:

    • Build 10041 installed clean and upgraded to build 10049
      • ESD file in C:\Recoveryimage is build 10041
      • ESD file in C:\$Windows.~BT is build 10049
    • The same machine further upgraded to build 10074
      • ESD file in C:\Recoveryimage is build 10049
      • ESD file in C:\$Windows.~BT is build 10074
    • The same machine further upgraded to build 10130, skipping one build (10122)
      • ESD file in C:\Recoveryimage is build 10074
      • ESD file in C:\$Windows.~BT is build 10130

    Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.

    C:\$Window.~BT\ files to send in?

    C:\$windows.~bt\sources HAS NO ESD FILE

    If you already rebooted and upgraded it is of course gone:
    From this tutorial: ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File - Windows 10 Forums


    1. 2.) When a new build is available, let Windows Update download it. When Windows Update has prepared the upgrade, you will be told a restart has been scheduled. At this point you can find the install.esd file which contains everything needed to make an ISO image in a hidden folder C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources.
    It needs to be copied before the restart. go to the tutorial and post any questions you need answered.

    How to trigger the install of C:\$Windows.~bt: Since v1809 had a bad reputation, to test whether the v1809 update was viable, I made clones of my v1803 system, then on a clone ran the SetUp.exe for v1809-on-the-USB-stick, because I was told that an upgrade can not be done by booting from the USB. The first clone failed to...
