    Have changed the Memory Board Max Capacity to show Mb instead of GB due to the way SET /A can round up/down the results which may confuse some when it says 33 GB instead of 32 GB.

    Code:
    Memory Total Present       - [16345 Mb]
    Memory Available           - [13644 Mb]
    Memory Type/Max Sockets    - [3 Non-ECC] / [4]
    Memory Board Max Capacity  - [65536 Mb]

    Mb != MB
    16345 Mb = 2043.125 MB

    MRP detected Audit mode was used. :)

    Sometimes depending on what is being done via Audit Mode, MRP may fail on some aspects as the 'pause' switch is now not in use.

    But it looks like everything worked, apart from the activation side - which is normal in Audit Mode. It activated when back in 'normal' mode due to the HWID once it saw the internet. If a MSDM key was present which matched the Edition then that too would of auto activated on returning to 'normal' mode when connected online.

    Re Meltdown I can see that during MRP install the patch was in place, on the QT report it does mention that the system is vulnerable to both and that the reg entry was changed.

    The debuglog1 shows that the wifi adaptor was present, running and there was 5 SSID's present around the computer at the time the log was made.

    I will be out for a few hours as it was my birthday yesterday and going tech shopping today. :D:D

    yeah sadly the block adverts not work in Audit Mode so you can end up with all the crap and bloat mainly because the user is Administrator (or how it spelt in other languages) with System or NT Authority privileges. So you end up with the full monty!

    Hence i always install with no internet connected, even if i use Audit mode which is very rare these days. Stops that rubbish sneaking on via the backdoor. :p

    When you create an user it isn't audit mode anymore.

    I have never seen anything getting auto installed during audit mode.

    Query Tool v68.0 has been uploaded, 2nd post download link, password and hashes updated. :)

    + Added extra Memory information such as if ECC or not, max Memory capacity the m/board has and how many Memory sockets/slot. Thanks to @JanCerny for the heads up on the info.

    + Added detection for a WiFi adaptor, should say if present or not, SSID code and the service status - running, disabled, stopped etc.

    If for some reason the GUI Reader is not working due to AV removal then the old display output will not show certain lines of information. All lines will be shown on the saved report regardless and may also be more spread out.

    A few code tweaks nothing exciting to write about.

    It looks cool, but I was bought lot of cheap 4GB DDR3-1866 unbuffered ECC on eBay. They are from Apple Mac Pro Late 2013. Single bit error correction and double bit error detection without performance impact.

    Hello
    Is it possible when using Multi-OEM/Retail Project, can you have Time Zone changed to the Time Zone you pick and default of where Microsoft is located CA? Every time I install Windows I always have to change the Time Zone to (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).

    When using MRP ConfigCreator I would like to have these three Icons on the Desktop, ThisPC, Network, Recycle Bin. Is there a way to have Network on the desktop as well?

    Lastly, is it possible to Name your Device?

    How would the code now where the pc is before it's setup? You select the timezone by selecting the region during OOBE stage, isn't it?

    Time Zone, that is done via the Windows setup itself when you start the installation also later in the setup process. It can be done via the Command line (or script) but it can be complicated:

    One way - Open an Command or PShell prompt and type TZUTIL /? and press enter, as you will see it is fiddly at best, as you need to know the parameters to use. Then convert them into a command line to use within a script later. You can search online about the TZUTIL command and what it takes to set it up. I won't be adding that as an option to MRP sorry.

    Adding 'Network' icon to the desktop via a Creator option should be easy enough.

    Device Name, that can be done, but it not as easy as you think via scripting. That is best done manually via 'Advanced System Properties'>[Change] button and rename the device, as there are a few places in the registry, (up to 11), that have to be set properly or your internet/network experience will be problematic if they are not set correctly!

    I can show a script and also add it to the 'Optional\Misc_ExtraScripts' folder to do it that does not require a reboot, but it is untested on all OS's and may not always work on them. I will not be adding that into MRP as an option due to the nature that it can trash the Network settings. More so during Windows setup stage as it could confuse the OS as it would be altered midway through the main installation.

    Will you post the script to change the Time Zone in the 'Optional\Misc_ExtraScripts' folder?

    How about a Windows Automatic Answer file? I saw a site that Generates Windows Answer File.
    Thank you.

    Hello
    Last night I used the following command to generate an answer file:

    Sysprep /oobe

    After it rebooted it wanted to install Windows 10 again, and after the third screen it couldn't execute a command. I tried booting in the SAFE mode and it did the same thing. Is there a way to get my Windows 10 Pro back without doing a re install of Windows? Can I some how do a restore from the Backup partition? I'm ust guessing. I would really appreciate any and all assistance concerning my issue.
    Thank Yoi.
