    My tools are based on the white paper for push-button recoverry from Microsoft.

    all the recent computer I had in the past years was build around the same thing
    1) Windows on 1 partition
    2) Booloader on another one
    3) Recovery tools on another one

    My tolls put the recovery package (apps + drivers) on the same partition as Windows. My dell computer (XPS 8930) had them on another partition and was using junction point on the Windows drive to point there.

    But, yes, most OEM manufactuyre use solution around the same receipt.

    Hi everyone!

    Version 6.1.0 is out!

    - Support for Windows 11 25H2

    - Slimmer "Required Packages" file since 25H2 file are backward compatible to previous version so I removed them

    - New software icons

    - Options (Default) to remove all APPX package from the user running SYSPREP. Found out that sometime drivers, app (like Notepad++) add packages which break Sysprep. Since the user will be destroy, no point to keep them!

    - Add the recovery icon + command prompt to the taskbar [Windows 10 + 11]
    - Add the recovery icon + command prompt to the Start Menu [Windows 11]
    [This can be modified by editing two files - XML and JSON - in the settings folder - Info in the doc - You can use that also to launch custom software, link to web page, etc.]

    - New version of DoubleCommander for the WinRE part
    - Newer version af AutoIT interpreter for the script
    - Newer version of ClamWimPortable in the recovery menu

    PS : Next version will probably have a new color/icons scheme to fit the default one of Windows 11 (blue tint or similar)

    This is probably the absolute easiest thing to do and we all love a cleaner install.
    I still whonder if it can be fixed within the batch with a for loop that finds installed userpackages and uses "Powershell.exe Reset-AppxPackage -Package "<nameofappx>" "

    Never found a proper way to list user installed or updated packages to only remove them.
