Multi-OEM/Retail Project {MRP} - Mk3

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 

 

I don't think the OS has the 'Summer time' versions as i did a check of TZUtil and even powershell's Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable none had Summer Time in the list..

But MRP/QT will show if Summer Time +1hr is in operation

 

It is possible to have a override option, will have to see which ones are ignored as it been a while.

I know the hide insider page from settings and the feedback setting are two that are ignored. Plus specific Apps are not removed aka the Feedback hub.

If you know of some of the others ignored please let me know.

*EDIT*
Have added a special option in MRP v141 now to allow those options that was auto disabled when an Insider/Preview build was detected, i can't guarantee it will un-disable them all as the auto-disable bit is quite extensive but it should now allow the majority. (I Hope!)

Had a request to add 'Task Manager' to the desktop right-click menu for windows 11.

Plus it should be 'auto translated' - unlike other methods about

Will add that code/option into v141

 

When win 11 is installed the registry still has windows 10 showing in the productname/version area.

On mrp v141 as shown in the above post it will now show 11 instead. This will also show the same change for v118 of the qt too.

M$ have not yet changed that area in the registry for some reason so most utilities will still show 10.

Note the Mrp/qt does not change the actual registry they just check for the build number and then substitute the 10 for 11 in the log results so it looks correct.

It is a simple check used, but rare it could show 1111 or 1011 by mistake in the log.

Right-Click the Desktop ct menu. Not on taskbar as unable to work out how that new Taskbar works yet.

OEM's.7z only required if you wish to brand/add logos etc. MRP will do everything else but brand if that file is missing or not correct in some way. It will be just be the standard windows default branding used.

Teams stuff on Taskbar left overs etc - Cant work out how it all works fully on w11 yet.

 

The 'stop auto updating store apps' tweak attempts to prevent most of the apps coming back when they are removed in MRP, not always sadly, as m$ really push hard for that s**t to re-appear!

*Added*
That may not ever be a fully operative adventure as m$ really want to make you use the Store... Look at some newer drivers, ( Nvidia and Realtek -- looking at you pair! ), making the user have to use/install a UWP App to adjust the settings etc...

 

Sure do and i try to keep ahead on each MRP if any newer ones that can be removed...

I remove all the ones i will never use, only calculator i leave alone as that not too bad i guess
