    A potential two more new General OS options:

    1) Remove the 'Burn Image' feature context menu --> Does not affect mounting an image on Windows 10. Have been asked if that could be a option as it also prevents that 'There are files ready to be written to disc ' message that can just appear out of nowhere. I have had that message appear even when the computer not have a CD/DVD drive fitted!!

    2) Remove 'Sharing/Share' context menus --> Not sure if this is really required, but have been asked if it could be added as a 'tweak'.

    They are revert-able via scripts which i will provide, if they are added as an option.

    What do you think to add or not?

    Not my kind of tweaks but if there is room for them, why not? :)

    If enough call for either of them then it's easy enough to add in.

    The share/sharing one is a two part internal coding as the older OS's (7/8.x) are slightly different to the W10 version i gather that is because it is linked with the HomeGroup system that has been depreciated in later windows 10 editions, i'm not 100% sure about that, but there are subtle differences in the code methods.

    :g: not sure what that is in aid of as a HWID/Digital License does not require to be backed up as it 'locked' to the device it was granted on, it cannot be 'copied' and transferred via a script/tool as such and is technically pointless on the same device because as soon as you connect online and is the same edition plus no major changes made it will just re-activate anyway...

    :D:D i was like wtf!?!

    i know i had set QT/MRP to show that message to prevent crashing the routine.

    Never expected it to actually appear in a log/report.

    Last night i was asked to test a frankenbuild script, made for learning experiences, and i thought it would be a nice test install for MRP :)

    Added brand 'PlexHD' to the OEM's list for the next MRP release. Thanks go to @lazymind for the theme files.

    Have added it into the 'Custom Theme' section of the Creator for the user to be able to select it manually. If it is available in the DMI/SMBIOS area then it will be auto used during installation, if the user allows auto branding.

    Updated some 'Telemetry' coding, to cover extra stuff for Enterprise and Education Editions to turn off the majority of data sent by default. For Insider Editions the default is always FULL and overrides any tweaks to prevent it, but this is part of the Insider process anyway.

    This version of MRP will be available in the new year as there are a few more things to be done and tested before then.

    =================​
    Would a option (Windows 8.x/10 only) for 'Reboot to Advanced Boot Menu' be of any use?

    It would show as a Context menu on 'This PC' when clicked it will instantly reboot the pc and give you the option(s) to continue to Window 10 (normal reboot) or other selectable options for recovery... Basically it will be like if you held SHIFT and then clicked ReStart on the Start Menu.

    Sadly it will be in English as i cannot find any translatable method for the wording within Windows at this time.

    Nope a bit simpler than that for REGistry entries :p

    basically shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00 it is effective :)
