    Adjusting / rearranging and saving the Minst menu works fine here?
    The settings are saved in the \SSTR\MInst\profiles\ folder for each WinPE version separately.
    Obviously that won't work if you booted the ISO using tools like Ventoy.

    WinPE 11-10 Sergei Strelec (x64) 2026.06.28 English version

    Can anyone please confirm the following bug:
    .reg file placed into \SSTR\MInst\Registry\x64\ folder doesn't get automatically parsed when Strelec 2026.06.28 is booted.
    The same .reg file is properly parsed up until Strelec ver 2026.05.11 English.
    Will provide further details if needed.
    Thanks!

    Edit:
    NEVER MIND
    Folder structure changed, SSTR\reg is the new path.
    My bad.

    Inquiry about automating AMD Graphics driver installation on boot and feedback on Resolution Selector

    Hi Sergei,
    First of all, thank you so much for your amazing work on this WinPE. It is an indispensable tool.
    I am having an issue trying to automate the loading of AMD Graphics drivers for the latest hardware during the boot sequence.
    Currently, if I place my AMD drivers inside the SSTR\USER\MY_DRIVERS_x64_WinPE11 folder, they are ignored during boot, and the system starts with the generic Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. Please note that these are the original, official drivers downloaded directly from the AMD website, so they are fully and properly signed.
    However, I noticed something interesting: If I boot into the PE, go to the Start Menu -> Drivers, and click on "Install Drivers (Automatic)", the system successfully detects and installs my AMD drivers from \SSTR\DriverPacks\AMD Radeon Graphics. My screen flashes, the resolution changes to native, and icons become small. This means the drivers are fully compatible with your WinPE core, but the early boot verification seems to reject or skip them.
    Could you please tell me:
    1. Which specific script, file (like a sub-PECMD or custom .cmd), or configuration controls that "Install Drivers (Automatic)" menu option?
    2. How can I call that exact process automatically during the initial boot sequence so I don't have to trigger it manually every time?
    3. Where is the correct path or format to place new AMD driver files inside SSTR\DriverPacks so the startup sequence registers them automatically?
    Feedback & Suggestions for AMD systems:
    • Native AMD Boot Drivers: It would be a huge improvement if AMD drivers (even basic or generic ones) were loaded right at the beginning of the boot process, just like other drivers are. For modern AMD machines, booting into a low resolution makes working difficult from the start.
    • Taskbar Resolution Selector Bug: I noticed that when the AMD driver is missing at boot, if I try to change the resolution using the icon in the taskbar, it doesn't work. Even if I select the highest resolution available, the interface doesn't change at all. It remains stuck until the AMD graphics driver is manually forced via the menu.
    Thank you for your time and help!
    Best regards,
    Majoney

    Dev specifically notes that driver loading chain, is not meant for heavy drivers like graphic. Its intended for more specific platform specefic drivers like Intel's serial IO which are needed for HID devices like touchpad to work and they are small.
