The next MRP (81.0) release (in RC T4 stage at present) is coming along nicely with a few refinements along the way. If Windows 10 Home (Core) Editions are detected and the Disable Driver Searching option is set to 'Yes' then it will be ignored and set to 'No' as we have found out that this option is not effective for those Editions via registry/policy tweaks. A note in the log will say:- [NODRS] Driver Searching tweak disabled as a Home {Core} Edition detected. This will cover all Windows 10 Core Editions, such as CoreSingleLanguage, CoreCountrySpecific, CoreConnected etc and any 'N' variants of them. The Config Creator (v2.1) has been updated to reflect this regarding the 'Disable Driver Searching' option line's tool-tip and text as it will mention that it is not available for Home/Core. Other tweaks and changes may be done before release.
@taviruni With Windows 8.x and 10 it is required to use the ei.cfg file which is found within the 'Optional\win8.x - optional' folder and place the ei.cfg in the Sources folder of the ISO/USB. You will then see the Edition choice menu during Setup which you choose the Edition (CoreSingleLanguage in this case). This step is required because the Setup bypasses the Oobe stage - which would run the MRP hence why there was no log and the files still present. The only version the MRP does not run 'out the box' on is Cloud.
********* link is working. It must be as over 780 downloads... In a few hours (GMT) MRP 81.0 will be released. As i need to do a few errands first and as soon as i get home i will release the new version.

Must admit the obfuscation used is a bit overkill since it needs a logged in user to even see any links .
Have altered the first post Moved download section to the 2nd post to keep within the forum word count limit per post. All links are now shown in that spoiler with passwords and hashes. Will upload MRP 81.0 shortly....
MRP v81.0 has been uploaded and 2nd post spoiler updated with new link/password. Quick Summary + The 'Disable Driver Searching' option is automatically set to 'No' on any Windows 10 Home/Core Editions being installed, as the setting/policy is not acted upon on those Editions and is ignored by the OS anyway! + Config Creator has been updated to v2.1 with tool-tip edited to cover the above when hovered over the option. + If a Windows 10 Core (Home) Edition is detected and you have set the option in the ini file for 'Disable Driver Searching then a note will be made in the Project.log that the tweak will not be used. + The 'BIOS or SLIC ID' line will now show the full info available, not sure what the numbers mean but they are shown anyway, if present. + Some tweaks to the code, nothing exciting. Also some slight re-wording here and there. Please Note: If you use the Driver Disable option it is a policy edit and you will see a line appear in the Update & Security section of the Settings App on Windows 10 saying: *Some settings are managed by your organization (in your OS language) This is normal for any policy edits in that area. It does not affect any other downloads such as SS/CU/Flash etc.
Query Tool 46.0 is in testing T2 stage... Added a new information line... More details later... As it is experimental and may not always work, hence the extra testing to fine tune the addition plus error checking. Been successful in tests so far.
The routine added - well a small program i wrote as the calls are not present in OS's below 8.0 (as usual!), they are but they return values that are not what i had expected! So wrote my own little routine to get the job done. On tests so far (Windows 7 Onwards) work ok... This is the results sofar: Code: GPU Primary Adaptor Name - [NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] GPU Primary Adaptor Info - [BPP: 32 , Res: 1920x1080 , DrvDate: 09/16/2017 , DrvVers: 22.21.13.8569] If for some reason the extra info is not present then only the GPU name will be shown, if that can be detected. Although if part of the info is present then the QT will attempt to show what is present and may not look correct. Hopefully it will all get perfected over time. Also testing the bustype etc routine for any glitches on older OS's... With error checking that if that data cannot be obtained then the default info will be shown instead.
As Vista/Server2008 is no longer supported by Microsoft then i will only support those kernels in a limited way. The BusType gets a bit confused on Vista/S2008 so it may say ATA/IDE instead of SATA, as the naming was changed on w7 onward's from "Serial ATA Controller", to "SATA Controller" plus the bustype must of changed numbering too. I am not bothering to correct it as it be too much extra work for very little gain. To check just look in Device Manager on those OS's. Likewise with the Display Information, the data returned for Resolution etc is random or shuffled about on the 6.0 kernel, so that line will not be shown on those EOL OS's. QT 46.0 will be released either later today or tomorrow.
I won't add that as an option as it lowers the security of the OS. However if you wish to do this, attached is a zip file with a edited oobe.cmd that has the lowest settings you requested. Tested on Windows 10 not sure if it will act the same on lower OS's. But on 10 it does indeed make the UAC set at lowest level. Just extract the oobe.cmd within, and overwrite the oobe.cmd in the MRP with this one if you wish to use the lowest UAC (it may even be 'off'). Spoiler: REG entries used in batch for UAC lowest...
