    Hwinfo is a well known piece of software, it would of been whitelisted
    Scanning hwinfo which is spiked will still flag though as it will have foreign files or code
    A virus on github is almost unheard of as the ppl who develop the software are passionate about there work
     
  3. ROFL... since i use Win 11, im not affraid of wares sites and cracked apps anymore... all those cracked apps have trojans, spywares, miners, keyloggers...
    But hey, even without installing cracked apps.. my OS already full of .... :censored:

    Windows 11 have too many notification settings

    if you like to disable specific things .. make a new key
    'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings'
    Make another sub-key key for each Item you like to disable & a new value name `Enabled` with D_WORD value `0`

    Let's say Security & .. Notification only
    `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings\Windows.SystemToast.SecurityAndMaintenance` -> `Enabled=0`

    Sub-Keys Full Options
    Code:
    Windows explorer -> `NotifyIconGeneratedAumid_11995792071604506045`
    Auto Play -> `Windows.SystemToast.AutoPlay`
    Security & Maintenance -> `Windows.SystemToast.SecurityAndMaintenance`
    Input & Switch -> `Microsoft.Windows.InputSwitchToastHandler`
    Settings -> `windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy!microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel`
    MS Store -> `Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App`
    Audio -> `Windows.SystemToast.DefaultAudioEndpoint`
    Start-App Apps -> `Windows.SystemToast.StartupApp`

    you could of just installed the correct software for the gpu and turned off fan stop, it persists through reboots Afterburner doesn't give the fanstop option, i think its vendor specific, not sure about founders editions
    upload_2023-6-3_16-31-17.png
    is a little blurry ..the option is there

    and how can you turm off fan stop on gtx 1669 ?
    i got asus b660 motherboard not gigabyte. only gpu is gigabyte wont work.

    i think the only way to disable it would be through nvidia control panel but cant see anything to turn it off.

    From around February, when "AutoUnattend.xml" is installed in my environment, it freezes during clean installation.
    So I changed it to "Unattend.xml".
    Am I the only one with this problem?

    I don't recommended use it
    it is my own personal OEM pack.
    it might not fit everyone
    I share it, only because someone asks for it..
    build your own ...

    made a custom option to catch any system changes
    for system settings, Control panel, MMC [Group policy etc], explorer
    for Process Monitor tool from MS / Mark Russinovich

    so found out that.. main processes are
    explorer.exe, svchost.exe & systemsettings.exe, mmc.exe

    upload_2023-6-10_11-10-15.png

    for example ... found new keys to play with
    I press left and click on the start menu.
    little search about these keys in Google,
    now you can disable the option from the registry :D

    Take owner ship as administrator on dont load,
    upload_2023-6-17_1-52-41.png

    then add full permissions to administrator upload_2023-6-17_1-53-25.png

    Delete the ones that are missing in my above reg screenshot, will give you Bluetooth, gamecontrollers, tablet pc, display and shortcut to network adaptors
    Dont delete any of the ones that are in the reg screenshot..just remove missing ones(compare your reg entry with mine)

    Is there any way to remove "Network and Internet Settings" pin on taskbar (next to Volume)? My tweaks makes Windows think there is no Internet/Network, even though there is and it works. I don't care for it thinks, but I do want that symbol gone.


    And I bet there is no way to remove "Get Started" (Feature Pack) from Start Menu, is there? The actual component is debloated, but Start Menu icon remains...
