         Applies WinUtil modifications to a mounted Windows 11 install.wim image.
 
     .DESCRIPTION
-        Performs the following operations against an already-mounted WIM image:
+        Removes AppX bloatware and OneDrive, optionally injects all drivers exported from
+        the running system into install.wim and boot.wim (controlled by the
+        -InjectCurrentSystemDrivers switch), applies offline registry tweaks (hardware
+        bypass, privacy, OOBE, telemetry, update suppression), deletes CEIP/WU
+        scheduled-task definition files, and optionally writes autounattend.xml to the ISO
+        root and removes the support\ folder from the ISO contents directory.
 
-        1. Removes provisioned AppX bloatware packages via DISM.
-        2. Removes OneDriveSetup.exe from the system image.
-        3. Loads offline registry hives (COMPONENTS, DEFAULT, NTUSER, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM)
-           and applies the following tweaks:
-             - Bypasses hardware requirement checks (CPU, RAM, SecureBoot, Storage, TPM).
-             - Disables sponsored-app delivery and ContentDeliveryManager features.
-             - Enables local-account OOBE path (BypassNRO).
-             - Writes autounattend.xml to the Sysprep directory inside the WIM and,
-               optionally, to the ISO/USB root so Windows Setup picks it up at boot.
-             - Disables reserved storage.
-             - Disables BitLocker device encryption.
-             - Hides the Chat (Teams) taskbar icon.
-             - Disables OneDrive folder backup (KFM).
-             - Disables telemetry, advertising ID, and input personalization.
-             - Blocks post-install delivery of DevHome, Outlook, and Teams.
-             - Disables Windows Copilot.
-             - Disables Windows Update during OOBE.
-        4. Deletes unwanted scheduled-task XML definition files (CEIP, Appraiser, etc.).
-        5. Removes the support\ folder from the ISO contents directory (if supplied).
+        All setup scripts embedded in the autounattend.xml <Extensions><File> nodes are
+        written directly into the WIM at their target paths under C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\
+        to ensure they survive Windows Setup stripping unrecognised-namespace XML elements
+        from the Panther copy of the answer file.
 
-        Mounting and dismounting the WIM is the responsibility of the caller
-        (e.g. Invoke-WinUtilISO).
+        Mounting/dismounting the WIM is the caller's responsibility (e.g. Invoke-WinUtilISO).
 
     .PARAMETER ScratchDir
         Mandatory. Full path to the directory where the Windows image is currently mounted.
-        Example: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\WinUtil_Win11ISO_20260222\wim_mount
 
     .PARAMETER ISOContentsDir
-        Optional. Root directory of the extracted ISO contents.
-        When supplied, autounattend.xml is also written here so Windows Setup picks it
-        up automatically at boot, and the support\ folder is deleted from that location.
+        Optional. Root directory of the extracted ISO contents. When supplied,
+        autounattend.xml is written here and the support\ folder is removed.
 
     .PARAMETER AutoUnattendXml
-        Optional. Full XML content for autounattend.xml.
-        In compiled winutil.ps1 this is the embedded $WinUtilAutounattendXml here-string;
-        in dev mode it is read from tools\autounattend.xml.
-        If empty, the OOBE bypass file is skipped and a warning is logged.
+        Optional. Full XML content for autounattend.xml. If empty, the OOBE bypass
+        file is skipped and a warning is logged.
+
+    .PARAMETER InjectCurrentSystemDrivers
+        Optional. When $true, exports all drivers from the running system and injects
+        them into install.wim and boot.wim index 2 (Windows Setup PE).
+        Defaults to $false.
 
     .PARAMETER Log
-        Optional ScriptBlock used for progress/status logging.
-        Receives a single [string] message argument.
-        Defaults to { param($m) Write-Output $m } when not supplied.
+        Optional ScriptBlock for progress/status logging. Receives a single [string] argument.
