    I would like to see proof of this working on different systems with class 3.

    Do you have any UEFI class 3 PC? If so, try and write if it works or does not work.

    This should work on Intel CPU Generation from 1 to 9 (I don't know how in the newer ones)

    Updated gpt.cmd to enter proper disk number and partition size.

    I highly doubt it does...

    I have yet to try it on my Kaby Lake Laptop, but I doubt it will work there either. My Kaby Lake won't even run 7 any more since the last BIOS update. I used to be able to get the Kaby Lake Updated Windows 7 to boot just fine, but no longer.

    To be honest, I really think the whole idea of running XP on anything Modern is basically a stupid idea. Now, just doing to get it to work just for fun that I understand, but not to really use for anything...

    There isn't any universal solution.

    Even with W7 in UEFI mode you can have the very same installation that boots in VMware, but stay stuck at the boot logo in VBox or Hyper-V (or viceversa)

    Let alone when you're dealing with real HW, with its infinite variation of firmware and HW combinations.

    Basically is matter of luck and patience

    Actually, there's an use for XP on modern hardware. There are special applications that only work on XP (and not newer Windows OS) for example.

    here in the U.S. there was a security memo released 2 years ago that prompted all banking institutions to discontinue use of Windows XP for anything ATM or infastructure related software. And if that went to banking institutions which I know for a fact did, I can only imagine it has been enforced upstream in DoD etc.

    There is critical error in my BCC file in sysprep_public.7z file !!! - starting option: WinXP SP2 64-bit UEFI bootdebug not different from the option: WinXP SP2 64-bit UEFI - I only changed the name and forgot to add the option bootdebug on :(

    It is needed on some Intel 8 gen PC e.g. on my new PC:
    • Advantech AIMB-786
    • Intel i3-8100 8gen CPU
    • 16GB RAM DDR4
    • NVMe in PCIe adapter x4 on slot x4
    • AMD PCIe x16 graphics card (with AMD HD sound) supported by WinXP 64-bit
    • Syskonnect Gigabit Ethernet PCI card supported by WinXP 64-bit
    debugger_enabled_ok.png AIMB-786_WinXP_64.jpg
    I will correct the BCC file in a while - please wait ... ;)

    When I use the bootdebug on, I can't press the Print Screen key because I break Windows.
    To disable the Print Screen key, you need to do it:
    If use PS2 keyboard:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters]
    "BreakOnSysRq"=dword:00000000
    
    If use USB keyboard:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\Parameters]
    "BreakOnSysRq"=dword:00000000
    
    and restart the system.

    At what stage does the Print Screen key break your Windows XP OS on UEFI Class 3, at early stage (kernel mode) or later stage (user mode)?

    I have always been making screenshots with the Print Screen key, but in this case I use IrfanView and Capture/Screenshot option.

    Edited
    =====
    If I use the BreakOnSysRq registry settings, I can still use the Print Screen key for screenshots :)
