    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to open wim file in windows system image manager.

    Unfortunately, it seems that the specific version 10.0.26100.2454 is not readily available for download. However, you can try using an earlier version of the ADK that is compatible with Windows 10 22H2. You can find previous versions of the ADK on the link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install

    Also, check that the version of the ADK you are using is compatible with the version of Windows you are working with. The ADK version should match or be close to the Windows version to avoid compatibility issues.

    Check your Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) is up to date. Sometimes, updating WSIM can resolve compatibility issues with ADK versions.

    Have a nice day.

    Best Regards,

    Molly
