Windows 10: Howto create WinPE USB flash drive which remembers shortcuts on deskto

There are many guides out there which tell me how to create an WinPE bootable USB flash drive.
Unfortunately when I boot from such an USB flash drive later and create e.g. some shortcuts (to additional prgms) on desktop/TaskBar
then these shortcuts gets lost after shutdown.

This is because the WinPE copies at first after bootup all necessary files to an internal Ramdisk and uses them instead of the original Win10 files.
So created shortcuts are not permanent beyond next reboot.

Maybe there is a workaround resp.solution to make such shortcuts permanent anyway.

I made a system image on a USB flash drive using the tools available in Windows 10. I want to make this image bootable so that I can reinstall it on my computer from the same USB flash drive. Can I do this using the method you have suggested?

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!
