    It could be supplied/integrated but then the project would be removed from the forum for breaking rules.

    Been a long time since i looked at the HWID side.

    Just checked out the MASS... and read in the read me that the /u parameter on the NON AIO version is a 'silent' method...

    I have a test section in MRP that looks for a file called OSUpdates.cmd within the Scripts folder and when found runs that with the /u (silent) parameter, it was designed for a test script when adding OS Updates during the OS install - hence the name. I left the code in just in case i needed to update a OS 'on the fly' during OS installation with a CU or even a Driver file/App etc.

    This could be used (theoretically) for the HWID purpose ;)

    Download the non AIO version (the one that has the BIN folder).

    Copy the HWID_......cmd script and the BIN folder to the Scripts folder where MRP is stored.

    Rename the HWID_.......cmd file to OSUpdates.cmd <--this bit IS important!!

    If all goes well then MRP will detect that file and run it with the /u parameter it requires for unattended mode...

    Can't guarantee it will work, but it worth a try as MRP does call that OSUpdates.cmd file with the /u parameter if it is detected within the Scripts folder.

    You may get some odd error text in MRP's on screen window and possibly the main log too as it will be looking for a return flag that my OSUpdates.cmd file used to return to let it know all was ok or not...

    I guess that method could be used for the K..38.cmd file too -- if so required. :p ;)

    To keep within the forum's rules i will not be supplying anything within the projects archive that could jeopardize the project.

    So how you obtain and what you do with the 'other' methods of activation is at your own risk.

    Will test it and see.

    I think moving start menu to the left option in win11 MRP140 is not working, when i used "reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "TaskbarAl" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f" it worked

    I already added this registry before updating MRP and it was working, when i updated MRP to 140 i couldn't find the registry like it's removed, i suspected that you added delete instead of add ?

    Once i set MRP to No for this option, my registry was added fine

    Nope set as it should be :g:

    Code:
    
    IF /I "%MoveStartToLeft%"=="Yes" (
     %REGEXE% add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "TaskbarAl" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1
     %REGEXE% add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "TaskbarAl" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1
     SET "OptionsUsed=1"
    )
    
    
    Regexe is set as normal reg.exe or the sysnative version on 64bit.

    Did you do a reboot or signout/in cycle after mrp completed and desktop appeared as some tweaks require that cycle to operate.

    I found the problem, after i added the project to Win11 iso i used "Win_11_Boot_And_Upgrade_FiX_KiT_v2.0" and simply used the project in win10 iso that i didn't update :31:

    Sorry about that

    Regarding how the 'Time Zone Data' is defined:

    Registry query for TZone Data as used within MRP/Query Tool:
    Code:
    reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation" /v "TimeZoneKeyName"
    Wmic is not used for this part.

    Technically at this moment in time for your GEO location it should be: Central European Summer Time

    I think it is because you have the other settings for en-US / English United States and this is telling the OS the wrong info for the time zone?

    That is a 'bug' in the OS and so nothing i can do about it at this time. Will see if i can find another method that works on the GEO location too to then display hopefully the correct TZ Data.

    Another method i have added to QT118 (and MRPv141) is using TZUtil /g to also obtain the name, but i still think it will be incorrect due to the strange 'bug' in how the OS determines the TZ Data...

    Code:
    Time Zone Data {Registry}  : GMT Standard Time {Bias: +01:00}
    Time Zone Data {TzUtil}    : GMT Standard Time
    Using Daylight Saving Mode : Yes
