Wait, so it's not my keyboard that is dying? It's an issue with the latest canary builds where my keyboard stops working until I unplug and replug?

Fun fact. By setting ProgressUXType to 0 in C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\sources\SetupPlatform.ini right before the second stage of setup begins. You can get back the early Win10 era setup screen.
This still works as of build 27943

Installing windows via the i386 folder didn't last that long all things considered.
WinNT 3.1 used it (First seen in 1991 builds)
and Longhorn Build 4001 used WIM (December 2002)
So the WIM format in one form has been around for 23 years. Whereas i386 was around for 11 years
