• restart system
• run WHD-W81UI.cmd again, it will go directly to Cleanup or Reset OS image (it doesn't install or check any updates)

• for offline integration, a simple script will be created on desktop RunOnce_W10_Telemetry_Tasks.cmd
  after installing the OS, you need to run it as administrator, it will be self-deleted afterwards

• WinPE images (boot.wim/winre.wim) will be updated only with:

• servicing stack update
• baseline updates
• Monthly Quality Rollup
• extra few WinPE updates

Debug Mode (for advanced users):

• Create a log file of the integration process for debugging purposes

• The operation progress will not be shown in this mode

• How To:

• edit the script and change set _Debug=0 to 1
• set main options correctly, specially "target" and "repo"
• save and run the script as admin
• wait until command prompt window is closed and Debug.log is created
