    The one called systemram.vbs it checks system ram but i also added the bios bit(s) in to save on having a separate vbs.

    my laptop returns using that vbs (via Cscript):

    8109 MiB|5469 MiB|ALASKA - 1072009

    There is no default result called UNKNOWN i have added , which must be what is returned via the WMI call.

    it looks like the OS returns that wording as you can see i not added anything like that in, as i always assumed that it be something like AMI Megatrends, Pheonix etc or in your case Lenovo brand but for some odd reason it not pic that up :g:

    Cant think of the WMIC version off hand but im guessing that would either be the same UNKNOWN value or null/empty?

    I did it by vbscript so it could work if wmic was missing.

    WMIC does the same. Will install a new 2015 LTSB test system and check if it does the same.

    Generic.exe also dumps the SLIC correctly.

    I wonder if it something vbox not like?

    There again vmware has a few odd quirks too but in other areas, but have managed to work around those.

    Will have to see what i can find out.

    At moment have had a few issues with mrp , more to do with the deletion of the debug file when the option not to save it is used.

    Taking a few attempts as under admin/system user the path gets altered to windows\system32 folder instead of the scripts folder.

    Think fixed that now , plus under 7 the sapphire brand acted strange.

    Last test for today: LENOVO 2.3 SLIC. Result: The same - Generic.exe works, yet the WMIC/VBS only reports UNKNOWN.

    What is really odd that its worked on the majority of systems the qt been used on , unless a av nabbed certain files. However that section not affected as it uses standard wmi calls :g:

    Will see if i can get a useful parsing of the slic file that generic exe finds, and use that if unknown is the result of the usual way.

    Only other possibility would be a bad install source. But it is the old Threshold 30 in 1 base v2 from @murphy78 which I trust completely.

    It could be th1, i know th2 was ok as i used th2 for ages. Then upgraded to rs2 and next was 20h2 , rs2 was rock steady and i never updated when it wanted me to at eol, was bliss.

    Only upgraded to latest w10 as built a new main pc ready for w11. But not impressed with 11 just yet.
