    MRP v101.0 Baseline has been uploaded, 2nd post download link, password and hashes updated. :)

    New Options:
    + Added Photoviewer to be used (Windows 10 Only) option. This may be removed at some point by Microsoft as they are slowly removing 'old' features and replacing them with newer Apps.

    + Added Disable 'Edit with Paint3D' Context Menu entry (Windows 10 Only). There is a reversal script within the 'Optional\Misc_ExtraScripts\Windows10_Kernels' folder to put back that entry if needed.

    + Added Disable 'Edit with Photos' Context Menu entry (Windows 10 Only). A revert script is included within the 'Optional\Misc_ExtraScripts\Windows10_Kernels' folder to put back that entry if needed.

    + Added 'Hide Defender from Settings App' option, this will only work on Windows 10, not Servers or OS's below 10. It will only be available if you use the Disable Defender option. This tweak can be reverted via the script within 'Optional\Misc_ExtraScripts\Windows10_Kernels' folder.

    Other:
    + Release Identifer, this shows a usually 4 digit reference such as 1511, 1703, 1809 etc.

    + OS Installation Type now shows Client {Non Server} for consumer OS's and Server {xxxx} for Servers the number within the { } are the number such as 2008, 2012R2, 2016, 2019 etc.

    + HyperVisor Present, Yes or No - shows if a Virtual Machine is present. On some Server installations it may say Yes as HyperV is present in the OS and the service may be running in the background.

    + PC System Type, this is like the chassis one but uses a different WMIC call, this should show such as Desktop, Workstation etc. It also depends on the Motherboard maker's grading, as some may say your board is a Workstation model on the box and website but it may not have the classification certificate and may be then shown in the BIOS as a desktop.

    + Part of a domain, if your PC is connected to a network and is connected via a domain then this will most likely say Yes. Generally it will be No.

    + Code tidy up across the Project.
    OEM's.7z also updated with latest brand logo's/wallpaper updates.

    To access the Advanced options - run the Creator as Administrator. :)

    i have covered that area a quite few posts back ;)

    Although that is not part of the projects tasks, that is for the end user to proceed with if they wish.

    It not stop the apps actually being installed into the system - just the tiles.

    For the time being i am leaving the tools menu as it is. It will be renamed as 'System Tools' for the next MRP. :)

    The icons are not quite the same for Windows 10 using imageres.dll - this is where i had problems. Hence why a custom icon was used so it looks the same for all OS's.

    Windows update, that reg section is ok for Windows 7 however on w10, the wuapp.exe file does not exist, as Windows Update is controlled by 'ms-settings:windowsupdate' and with a DelegateExecute command set.

    The reason W8.x is not supported in this WU area is because that OS has a life of its own, one command works for some and another for others, so it was purposely left out as i tried to find a balance, but it was not to be.

    I may add those other entries as selectable options at a later time.

    **Edit**
    As s1ave77 mentioned before, there is a limit of 12 items for the context menu so some won't make the list:

    Disk Cleanup (being phased out on win 10)
    Task Manager (you can access that easy enough!)

    It looks very nice this way.

    Could you give us some options to translate the context menu items?
    It will make it look very proffesional in your own language.

    That is something i have attempted to do, it will be on a special tab in the creator in which the entries that can be changed to the users language will be.

    I doubt it will be in the next release but it will be on the to-do list as quite a bit of extra programming would need to be done and not 100% sure how i can make it happen.

    The logs will always be in English.
