It seems on w11 build 25136 that some elements of the theme are not setting still.. System to use 'Dark Mode' option is one such part that not appear to 'take' even though the registry values was set -- When manually setting using the registry tweak for dark mode later after install it works... Also with notepad, on this build, it now seems to be a 'App' version so the text highlight color not work on it either, but does on other non App programs... But it is hit and miss if the highlight color works on all other non App's too, most strange! As it is an insider/preview build i not want to spend too much time 'fixing' those areas until it is closer to its non Insider state as things can change from update to update with it.
It has to be in that insider build that has something changed in the theme side of things as other W10/11 OS's work ok with the dark theme...
No new options added at present as just focusing on fixing a few glitches at this time. As ms has altered the kernel in the latest w11 builds that has altered how some tweaks/options operate, so adjusting some to either work in a different way or sadly get auto disabled on those new builds until another method can be found. As once said on a radio 5 recording, its harvey wallbanger time! = time to bring out the booze
are you talking about insider beta builds? they change every time. you should not focus on them. only on stable releases. (my opinion)
It not just the insider builds - it is also 22H2 / 22621 that has got some subtle changes in the theme side which are starting to appear.
The query tool v123.0 is also having some code additions Checks if a windows sdk/adk is present or not, covers win 8.1 and 10/11 kits detection. At some point when i can find a reliable method im hoping to also show the build/version of the installed adk/sdk. Maybe a bit overkill but it could be useful info to someone?

Question about UserTweaks.cmd - where is it? At least in the 145.0 archive, it is nowhere to be found.
Thanks. I may have more problems with the Win7 media I have created, am in the process to verify. Evidently, my Wintel.cmd fails to process correctly, yet the log says it has been run. But, the "route print" command tells me that no persistent routes are defined, even after a reboot. Something's fishy here. In fact, I've seen none of the cmd.exe windows I usually get when Win 10 or Win 11 Setup is in the final stages. And it is set to not run silently. Edit: Interesting. It looks like the final stages all complete before the desktop is shown the first time.
The route command - if i remember, was used instead of firewall rules (which are fussy to get right), and also to prevent issues with the hosts file being ignored in most cases by the OS. MRP itself does a few route commands internally but those are mainly used when the option to prevent adverts/telemetry are used, they never caused issues before as i carefully selected a tiny amount. Code: REM Misc. 2>nul route -p ADD 157.56.144.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 2>nul route -p ADD 207.68.166.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 2>nul route -p ADD 216.38.172.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 REM Google ads - 1 part at least. 2>nul route -p ADD 216.58.217.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 REM Facebook 'atlas.c10r.facebook.com'. 2>nul route -p ADD 31.13.74.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 REM Misc M$. 2>nul route -p ADD 64.4.6.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 2>nul route -p ADD 65.52.100.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 2>nul route -p ADD 64.52.108.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 2>nul route -p ADD 65.55.108.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 2>nul route -p ADD 65.55.252.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 >nul 2>&1 I made sure any route command that 'blocked' m$ stuff was only a small amount and none that should affect MSN or outlook/hotmail websites.
I wonder if m$ have done something in one of the updates for win7 that has been done to make things more awkward for users to use the OS and to 'nudge' them to upgrade to 10/11 ? I would not put it past them to sneak some underhand stuff in, i'm sure they have done it before and got found out!
MRP CALL's Wintel and/or usertweaks cmd files, if it finds them, roughly the same time as any setupcomplete.cmd, they are called with SYSTEM rights so a bit more than normal Admin ones not that should make much difference. The project's log shows that they been detected and run, little error checks are done as it not easy to detect if any was found while running, however errors should be shown on screen though (unless silent option used), so it a simple yes it run, or not found log entry.
I did have a script or routine that asked for a selection and after a timeout it would skip or auto-select a specific option, was a bit fiddly as you CALLed it with parameters and it returned the value of the option so that you could act on it after the routine had run. No idea where it is now and not used it since the Vista days I'm sure i found it on some website as no way at that time was i confident in my batch coding skills to even think about writing such a routine.
