    (OP)
    Got my heart ct scan 22nd Aug (edited as got date wrong :oops:), 2 of them back to back. Only taken 8 months for appointment.

    So once I got all these health things out the way I will be hoping to take a break.

    Summer will be over here soon but I not bothered about heat. Be nice to just relax.

    Have tweaked the creator to look a bit better at 100 and 125% scaling but above that it still looks terrible.

    Added extra pshell equivalents for the kms checks but bt7 still in the editor for now as not been able to sit too long at pc.

    So I not had time to check if they work under system/oobe , seems to manually.

    mxman2k,
    I now have a iot ltsc look a like of win10 home and win11 home. MRP installed correctly, no issues. I did not use your tweaks but added tweaks through xml file. Defender is totally disabled by the way.
    In theory you might be able to do 90% of mrp before oobe through the method we have been discussing. ;)

    The cogs in my mind are turning :D

    Not saying what I have for an idea for a twist on the creator but that is a clue. ;)

    Although it will be a while before I get around to even start coding and making the idea a reality. That if i can work out the logistics.

    Might put together a concept picture if I can draw it :D

    Ltsc = less time something crashes. :p

    Or:

    less time sorting crap.

    Not had much time to play with ltsc on a working system. I mainly use education edition as it gives me a bit of flexibility and a lot more tweaks work to get rid of adverts and reduce telemetry.

    Hoping next week I can get some coding done.

    The pain medication I was given is quite strong and reduces the pain , but the side effect of feeling 'not quite with it' is unnerving, I just take them at night now, so I can get some sort of sleep.

    Sadly it's the joys of getting older as well as things wearing out and falling apart. :D

    Are there any modifications made/services turned off that breaks search function where you can press Windows key and just type in Windows 11?
    For Windows 10 sysprepped and MRP copied to .\Windows\Setup it works just fine but same config on 11 doesnt.

    Not as I know of , I not touched that part of Mrp code for ages.

    I'm guessing it's ms consolidating apps together.

    Will look into it as I'm starting back at coding again.

    Which win 11 you using ie the ubr / cu used.

    I'm guessing it's 26100 and not the older 23hx one.

    Sorry for belated reply. I used an ISO with date may so MRP was from may or right before. Currently its 22631.3527 but cant remember what base ISO was.
    The network deployed one I cant remember what build it is but newer MRP. It works fine with W10 and has worked with W11 also I believe

    More investigating

    From reading many posts on the net it appears that w11's later cu's have changed things other than just security updates.

    I not changed anything in mrp regarding Windows search for quite some time. Well not as I can remember as there not been anything needed to alter at the time.

    If you wish to test latest mrp beta let me know via pm and will give you a link to access the beta area.

    It will be tomorrow when I can send info as not at pc now.

    I have fixed quite a few issues I found that may affect some installations but that to do mainly with notifications for the windows firewall and 3rd party front ends for the windows f/w.

    I will recheck in the morning.

    The winkey+searchword works before sysprep/mrp but I bet its MS as always

    Will look at mrp code just in case I made some sort of adjustment in that area but I'm quite certain I not altered anything.

    One option that seems to no longer work in w11 is the 'f1 help' one but that should not affect search in anyway.

    I will be disabling that f1 help option as I think it fails in w10 too with latest cu.

    On my main pc which is on w10 I noticed the tweak gets ignored after a cu from around April time.

    Like a miracle old MRP from April works with same configfile. network deployed version is 22631.4037
    The configfile is one created with older version and just saved over with new version/options ticked.

    More testing tomorrow, now its time for bf3

    I can remember long before I took over this project someone else was working on a similar project but that focused on tweaks etc.

    Mrp back then just focused on branding and win activation.

    The other project got canned as ms was counteracting the devs tweaks, it was not as complex as mrp is today with the tweaks. But the heavy handed ms ways could be appearing again.

    I'm pretty sure they have counteracted some of the options over the past few years.

    Thanks for info. I can check bt7 in editor against April's code and look to see if anything slaps me in the face :D

    Recently I been playing l4d2 again, along with the painkiller series. But can't sit for too long so it's taking a while to finish a level.

    Tomorrow mrp bt7 I think I'm at, could be 8, will have some love spent on it. Before my ptsd video therapy.
