    Much of the time Windows does not identify all hardware correctly during the installation routine.
    Open the Device Manager, expand System Devices, right click on each device, choose Update Driver and select Search automatically for updated driver software (one by one).
    You may find few hardware devices being renamed and downloading the proper drivers.

    EDIT: I think I'm about to give up. No HT, fail, no 1070ti (even physically removed, had to clean it a bit anyway), last DCHU Intel GPU driver, fail, uninstalled 16.8 Intel RST+deletion of drivers until I managed to get back the generic Microsoft driver, fail).

    Any specific BIOS or OS settings you've done? Like I dunno, enabling an admin password and TPU, is it Intel PTT etc. Using Bitlocker or some other SSD encryption? Assume you enabled Secure Boot and Windows 10 WHQL Support in BIOS? Vt-d?

    Thanks! We might actually get close to solving the mystery. Our PCs differ by:
    - Nvidia 1070ti, iGPU disabled
    - Intel RST 16.8 here
    - 8700K CPU, but it really should not be relevant. Hyperthreading though? Worth testing.

    Gonna see if the MI enables once I run on the iGPU. It's what I suspect. I guess the Intel RST driver could also be the culprit.

    The interesting part is that there's a Powershell script that tests for these things, and all the drivers seem fine to it. What doesn't seem fine is the HSTI failing and SMM being Absent. If anyone knows exactly how these things work and how to interpret the results, I'd appreciate it:

    Don't have any advice for you, but I'm having a similar problem when removing components from LTSC 2019 using MSMG. I get the same message except the installation fails, clicking through causes a reboot and I get the message again. There's supposed to be an update to MSMG coming that will resolve the issue. Until then I'll just remove what I can with dism and use registry edits to disable what I don't want.

    Being new to win10 from win7 that's one thing I find frustrating, win10 has an insane amount of crapware piled on top of it and not a simple thing to remove it. Would it have been so much trouble for MS to provide setup options during installation to pick and chose what you want. LTSC resolves some of the problem, but there's still a ton of it.

    To make a Spanish language installation of Windows 10, can you just install the en-US iso and change language setting to Spanish? Is there any benefit to downloading and installing the es-ES Spanish iso?
    Would both ways result in the same system in the end or are there any differences?

    The UWP apps won't be spanish when a LP is used, always better to use the official spanish iso.

    You can download all desired iso's here, in all languages:

    Now 17763.194 aka 1809 Dec. Refresh MVS Consumer and Business iso's available on the tool too:)

    No command or tool will show them. They are masked by design to prevent abuse.

    Could you run the QT from here? And post the saved report here in code tags? Just to see what it reports:)

    Yes it did. They look pretty much identical with mine. I'll try to reenable TPM see if it works. I'm like 99% that there's no "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" in my BIOS (yeah there is, missed it). Weird. Gonna take a look. Also VBS/Mem. Integrity was supposed to require Vt-d. I am confused, but gonna give it a new round of trying.

    Thanks for taking the time, appreciate it.

    Edit:

    Nope, still not working. I even put the RAM on 2133MHz, killed XMP, disabled HT, played with everything in the BIOS, even chassis intrusion, set both Admin and User pssws, reenabled the TPM (for which I have still didn't find any use whatsoever other than looking pretty in Defender). Vt-D on, off, doesn't matter.

    At this point I suspect that it could be:
    - my Steelseries Rival 600/Apex M750 mouse+keyboard combo
    - the Samsung 144Hz monitor? Dear lord that would be funny. Have another monitor in the other room but it's huge&heavy and i really don't wanna carry it here.
    - my 2 HDDs that I run besides the SSD? that could be funny too.
    - borked Windows 10 install. it wouldn't surprise me, but I'm not touching it until 19H1 reaches RTM (if that will still happen), since it's actually stable.
    - the Nvidia card, or the services the driver installs, dunno, Nvidia is really jumping the gun with 550MB worth of... stuff getting installed.
    - VMWare. I would suspect this first, but sadly I know for a fact getting the same message while I was using just HyperV and VMware was not on the PC.

    It doesn't depend on TPM, as I have that disabled in VM and MI still activates.

    Maybe, just maybe I could get it to work if I would take out all the "additional" stuff like the GPU, use some other keyboard/mouse that doesn't require drivers, take out the 2 HDDs,and reinstall Win 10 fresh. Don't thin kit's worth the effort just for MI though. Not to mention I can force it through the registry.

    I do admit though, the curiosity of knowing WHY the UI toggle doesn't work is kinda eating at me, I don't like when tech is not obedient :/
