Multi-OEM/Retail Project {MRP} - Mk3

Well as no MSDM then w8.x/10 will not activate as no acpi table with any internal key present.

SLIC is no use for W8.x/10 only for Vista/7/Servers.

So unless a HWID was done such as upgrading from win 7 in your case to w10 of same edition then only KMS/Genuine key or 'other' methods will work.

 

I have noticed that in the memory area the individual slot data is rounded up

Will have to see about re-doing that vbscript to prevent such rounding errors.

Only cosmetic as the 'memory present per slot' is correct.

 

Hmm the context menu bit not work on the GUI QT Display in the way i was expecting

I may have to re-write the whole GUI as for some reason it is not 'hooking' into the main GUI - i do get the menu appear when right clicking the Title Bar but then it not do anything with the values...

At present that is on the to-do later on list.

 

I have always had a few glitches with the GPU memory bit.

I cannot seem to see if there is dedicated only or dedicated and shared system ram with WMIC... At some point i will investigate other ways to get that info - but not using DXDiag which would be a cheating way to parse that data.

It may be some info not updated as i use WMIC to pull that data so i am unsure if it a QT code issue - unless there are new undocumented ways to retrieve that data correctly.

 

Regarding GFX memory I will see if there is another way - when something bugs me i tend to keep having a go at making a working solution

===========
With the next QT release - which may be soon due to the save glitch mentioned a few posts ago - i have added a flag to the title bar/log to show which location was/will be used to save the QT's Report to.

Example:
MRP - Query Tool v105.1 [Compiled: 04/12/2020 {UTC}] -- Date/Time Ran: 04/12/2020 {UTC} -- 12:43pm [DF]

[DF] = Desktop Folder -- using '%UserProfile%\Desktop' variable.
[UF] = User's 'Desktop' Folder -- Reads the 'Current_User' Hive registry area and if it is actually detected at that location.
[SD] = System Drive.

Only an indicator that a location was used to make sure it is saved to the specified area and no personal info shown such as the user's name etc.

An error is shown if no area to save can be done, should not happen but i do like to add extra error checking.

Query Tool v105.1 has been uploaded and the 2nd post's download link, password and hashes updated.

Spoiler: Query Tool 105.1 Summary

+ Fixed a save location glitch in that the QT may not save the report to the users' desktop. Now the QT will check for the 'Desktop' folder regardless of Language or spelling, if the folder was renamed etc, and then if that still fails to give a result the QT will save the log on the root of the SystemDrive (C: D: etc), you will see a line in the QT display where it has saved to or if there was any error. There is an indicator on the title bar/log header if a location was found and used or an error will show.
Many thanks to @migascalp for informing me of this glitch and testing the beta QT's.

+ Updated the routines that check for data via WMIC system calls to hopefully return the results in English so the comparison routines work as before if the results was non English then the routine using the calls may fail to pick up the data and either ignore the information or it could confuse the actual results. Many thanks to all those that tested the beta LT1/LT2 QT's.

+ Added VMware Version data if Vmware is present in the installed OS, not 100% perfect as it only a test to see if possible to obtain a file's version also it depends on if the file is installed in the default install location.

MRP will be delayed probably until tomorrow now as there is a massive storm where i am and not want to risk loosing files.

Typical we have a few days nice warm/hot weather and in standard British summer time tradition it spoils it with a thunder storm....

 

MRP 124.0 has been uploaded, 2nd post's download link, password and hashes have been updated.

Spoiler: MRP 124.0 Summary

+ Fixed the odd behaviour of when using the 'Slim Start Menu and Clean Taskbar' option that the 'File Explorer' icon always returned on a reboot/sign-out cycle if the user had deleted the icon. The File Explorer icon is no longer present if you wish to have that icon then you will either have to create your own XML file or manually add the icon later.

+ Added new option to remove the 'Feedback Hub' app - found within the W10 Apps tab on the Creator.

+ Added new option Disable/turn off 'Find My Device' - usually this is auto disabled when using the 'Prevent Telemetry' option, but now have added it as a separate item, this can be reverted by the Settings App slider.

+ Added new W10 options:
1) Disable or prevent OS/App notifications on the Lock Screen.

2) Disable majoity of Push/Toast notifications via the Action Center etc.

[--Notes-Start-->
This setting turns off toast notifications for applications.

If you enable this option, applications will not be able to raise push or
toast notifications.

Note that this option does not affect taskbar notification balloons.

Windows system features are not affected by this setting. You must enable or disable system features individually to stop their ability to raise push/toast notifications.

<--Notes-End--]

+ Updated PhotoViewer associations that should now 'stick' once they have been set even after any later updates added. This may be subject to change if m$ decides to remove all references to the PhotoViewer DLL etc.

+ Various re-wording on some options and log entries.

Sorry for late upload, it was all ready to go yesterday but the 3 thunderstorms we had last night - i was not wanting to loose files due to power losses. We did loose power a couple of times during the storms, so i was lucky as i had turned off the PC.

Today i have been busy so unable to upload until a few minutes ago.

 

yeah i have one but the battery has decided to fail the other week and due to lack of immediate funds replacement is a few weeks away
