    Go to Settings>Privacy>General and turn ON "Let Windows track app launches...." is the only way i can see around that. Unless anyone else knows the reg entry to change?


    Code:
    Reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "Start_TrackProgs" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

    I couldnt fit in 'Boot Drive OS Partition Data' into the space i had set. :p

    or it would be a huge task to re-align everything again.

    Have adjusted MRP to toggle that switch for 'Let Windows track app launches' to ON to un-grey that 'show most used apps' within Settings. It not a option it just sets the reg entry.

    A few other little 'fixes' done for the Tools context menu (Control Panel) which on some OS's may show "@ C:\windows\system32 ........ -30844" thanks @Enthousiast for pointing that out. :)

    (OP)
    [CHKMN] Model name not defined within the BIOS/DMI or was user specified.

    'Baseboard Product' and 'System Model Name' are not the same. They are stored in different places within the SMBIOS area.

    WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MODEL /format:list = Model Name
    WMIC BASEBOARD GET PRODUCT /format:list = DMI Product Name

    for example on my PC the results of the above WMIC calls:

    WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MODEL /format:list

    Model=MS-7971

    WMIC BASEBOARD GET PRODUCT /format:list

    Product=H170A PC MATE (MS-7971)

    It is one reason the creator has the option to set your own Model Name (it does not alter the bios, just a reg entry within the OS). :)

    Code:
    C:\Windows\system32>WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MODEL /format:list
    
    Model=To Be Filled By O.E.M.
    
    C:\Windows\system32>WMIC BASEBOARD GET PRODUCT /format:list
    
    Product=H81 Pro BTC R2.0
    
    Could you please add optional feature for ignoring "To Be Filled By O.E.M."?

    MRP automatically ignores that DMI entry along with others. ;)

    The QT and MRP (Motherboard Information section) just shows what it detects - if something matches a database entry it uses that for the brand/theme name.

    They ignore (or void the result) if the following are present and go onto the next checking section:

    To Be Filled By O.E.M.
    System Product Name
    System Manufacturer
    Base Board Product Name
    O.E.M

    The project has always ignored those entries even way back when SearchEngine created the first project that part has not changed, i may of added a couple of others to void but nothing that is a brand name.

    MRP 99.0 has fixed that SLIC 255.255 glitch :)

    Just testing RC7 on a normal RS4 win10 install.

    Will post results shortly. :) You will see some slight differences in the Project.log and debuglog, (if you use that option). ;)

    The summary will be quite long when it is baselined, hoping to be very soon.

    The wait is over! :D

    MRP 99.0 Baseline has been uploaded, 2nd post's download link, password and hashes have been updated. :)

    + Added Chassis type. On VM's this may show as 'Other' for the result, which is normal.

    + Added extra BIOS information such as Manufacturer, Version and Date, (if data is available).

    + Enhanced SLIC detection, which should eliminate the odd results if a Dummy/Invalid table is present.

    + Updated the 'Optional\Misc_ExtraScripts\General_All_Kernels\ChangeComputerName.cmd' script to filter spaces and certain other not allowed characters, (within the limitation of batch scripting). Also added a readme with notes about the script's use and warnings about how, and when not, to use it.

    + Added new option to show verbose OS information when loading and shutting down the computer.

    + Updated Config Creator to v5.7 to cover the new option and also updated the 'Turn Off All Background Apps' option to mention that on RS5 and beyond it will be auto disabled within MRP, which can cause malfunctions if this option is enabled for the time being until Microsoft can, (if/or will ever?), fix the XML code for the Start Menu and Action Centre etc.

    + Fixed a glitch with the .Net v4.x.x routine on Windows 7 etc. Thanks @abbodi1406.

    + Added .Net and Powershell version(s) information (if detected) at the top of the Project.log so you can see what was present at install.

    + Fixed a problem on some OS's, (Windows 8.x mainly), in which the 'Tools ->Control Panel' context may of shown something like '@ C:\Windows\System32....' Thanks @Enthousiast for letting me know.

    + Some re-wording and slight changes to the Project.log and Debuglog output text.
