Aomei PE Builder & Windows 10 Device Drivers
I've been trying to create a bootable PE USB disk which will contain the correct device drivers for my system, but so far nothing I do seems to change the info shown under Device Manager each time I boot with the latest ISO I have created.
I tried using Driver Backup software and backing up device drivers into a separate directory. Then I click on add drivers and add five "inf" files into the list, but this seems to have no effect on the number of yellow warning icons listed in Device Manager. What am I doing wrong? It is almost as if the PE build I'm creating doesn't recognize the drivers I keep adding?

Drivers need to be “injected” into \Sources\boot.wim. That file will be around 400 MB and comprises most of the image. For driver injection, copy the entire USB key contents to a hard disk directory, or use 7-zip to pull all of the files out of the ISO image. For this document, the directory will be F:\BootISOs\Inject. Dism needs a directory to mount boot.wim. I created empty F:\dism-mount.
DISM can be run directly, but powershell has commands that make it easier. Run powershell as admin. Commands are
Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath F:\BootISOs\Inject\Sources\boot.wim
Note the reported ImageIndex value for use in the next command. In this case, it will be 1, but in general there could be multiple installers in boot.win.
Mount-WindowsImage -Path F:\dism-mount\ -ImagePath F:\BootISOs\Inject\Sources\boot.wim -Index 1
Add-WindowsDriver -Path F:\dism-mount\ -Driver "F:\BootISOs\Drivers\Intel e1d6564\" -Recurse
Dismount-WindowsImage -Path F:\dism-mount\ -Save
If only a single-function boot key is needed, just replace boot.wim with the updated version. Otherwise, the ISO image needs to be updated. 7-zip cannot do this. I used the freeware program ImgBurn for this."this seems to have no effect on the number of yellow warning icons listed in Device Manager."---What mean? Could you take a photo so that we check?
