    I take it that when your app says "if not listed, choose close!" means close without proceeding?
    Any chance you can put a 1680x1050 option in there?

    You have to pick the nearest resolution code you can get... They don't have the exact algorithms windows uses to determine screen resolution sizes

    We should all focus on 10240. It's not very hard if we follow the guide.

    Your original script doesn't work for me under 10240. Not compatible with this PRI file.

    1280x800_CLW script and I am using 1920x1200. My original pri file md5 is not 9ECEE07E8E4E8011C02EE6AA8015B0D2 anymore. Its 22ecb22142befa33c1a79f9987e3266c. It works now when I changed this line.

    Just remember that When you have a custom resolution, you're gonna have to select the resolution code closest to your resolution...and put the number in line 4 $blobtoreplace

    Ok can you please explain exactly what I've to do to change it. I get that I have to change $outputPath and $replacementPath. What else? Take control of the original pri file?

    I haven't had put the takeown commands yet so you just have to do that manually one time before you run the script

    Code:
    takeown /f \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon\

ICACLS \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon
    Then go to \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon
    Right click on the folder, properties, security tab, advanced, then go to owner and click change, input your username and click ok.
    Then click add, select principal, type your username and click ok then click full control

    Then you might get a prompt about changing the permissions settings on system folders just click yes.
    Then it says error occurred click CANCEL.
    Then click ok on propagation warning.

    Do the same commands and steps for \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon\Windows.UI.Logon.pri

    Then you can execute the command

    Make sure to modify the copy command on the very last part of my custom script.

    so eg.
    copy c:\Windows.UI.Logon.pri c:\windows\systemresources\Windows.UI.Logon\Windows.UI.Logon.pri

    Change the file path next to copy

    It gave me a prime opportunity to test out the windows 10 "reset" feature and get a clean install :D:D:D

    Awesome working. Many many thanks.

    I tried with the old script got the black screen, I used the installation usb to boot and open cmd and copy the original file back to folder.

    if you do the reset, it actually asks if you want to wipe ALL drives, not just C:. SCARY! haha
