Why not just use the "Aero Glass Customizer" by Moataz which Includes the "Run on battery" as well as other AG Tweaks.

1. Install your apps from a batch file (postinstall.cmd) listed in your autounattend with the silent switch for each one, that way there will be no prompt.
ie: AdobeXL silent that I use is "%~dp0\apps\AdobeReaderXL\setup.exe" /sAll /re /OWNERSHIP_STATE=1 /msi UPDATE_MODE=0 DISABLE_CACHE=12. For your drivers just use the built in utility PnPutil.exe to install all your drivers from the inf files.

@ MaxX, 'Fix themepack not applying on Windows load at Firstlogon'
How did your correct or fix that issue? Having similar problem where my theme paper is being applied but not the theme.
Thanks, ~DP
I use an auotit like this and call it in Firstlogoncommands
REM .themepack
CMD /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\maxXPsoft_Wallpaper.exe
WinWaitNotActive ("Personalization")Run(@ComSpec & " /c " &@ScriptDir&"\maxXPsoft.themepack", "", @SW_HIDE)WinWaitActive ("Personalization")Sleep (5000)send ("!{F4}")ExitThanks for the info MaxX, here is the script that worked on 8 for me on my UA install, but on 8.1 it sets the custom them paper but still defaults to aero for some reason.
//============================================================== // FILE: tHEME.js // DESCRIPTION: Automatically Sets The Specified Windows 8 Theme //============================================================== // create shell object objShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); // start themes applet, load desired theme, and activate this window objShell.Run("%windir%\\resources\\themes\\RP-ReMix.theme",1); // wait for themes window WScript.Sleep(2000); // send the 'enter' key to accept this theme objShell.Sendkeys("{ENTER}");objShell.close0 -

We have never received any response back from you hopefully the same question you posed over at TechNet solved the issue.

On my Unattended Installs of 8.1 I setup some of my favorite apps ie: VLC to be my default program via the registry settings, maybe you could do something similar to override the windows apps to your own applications.

Nada, Nada - No performance issues or any other issues with my 8.1 ProWMC with AG as well, also have my setup now to install AG automatically when Windows is finished with AG enabled at the desktop (no more manually setting up, great time saver)

Magic is right, Use Process Hacker to dig deeper plus it's a great alternative to Process Explorer.

Don't know for sure but 'RW Utility' may be able to tell if you bios supports GOP and Compatibility Support Module => http://rweverything.com/
sidenote: I know some of the BIOSes such as the American Megatreads 'Aptio'and which is used by the ASUS VivoBook Series does support CSM.

Hi I am hoping someone can help me.
I need to put the following regkey below in a regadd command and also I need to increment the clientid.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sanako\Shared Components\NetCommPlatform\Client]
"ClientId"=dword:00000020 <--- this is HEX and needs to be incremented
"ServerAddress"="5E17-CONTROL"
For example: If the station number is 5E17-01 I need to change the client ClientId"=dword: to the hex value of 01 omitting the 5E17-
is there an easy way to do this in a script?
Yes it probably can be done but would need you to export a reg file and post here with more info as well like Yzowl said so script can be written, here is a basic reg add via commandline below.
Also since you did not post your reg file or specify if the value type for ServerAddress was a Multi string or Reg_SZ I included both ways..

I downloaded this on my desktop and accidentally messed up a setting. Now I can't log into my computer. I'm literally having to borrow my step grandfather's laptop for the month before i am officially screwed. I can't afford a new computer and sadly mine has no backup disc and didnt come with an os disc. Can someone please help me figure out how to undo it. The computer I have it on is a Gateway SX series with Windows 8.1 on it. Ever since I made that mistake it causes my computer screen to flash on and off 3 times and then sends me straight back to the login screen. It doesn't give me enough time to clear the setting before it is back on the login screen. Also, my computer is set to quick start which sadly disables the root boot menu. Can someone please help me? I really need this problem fixed. I can't afford a new os disc and I definitely can't afford a new computer. I seriously need to get this problem fixed and fast.
Sincerely,
Darkwater409
Try the following fixes for your Gateway SX ...
1. First get off the "quick start" feature by holding down on the function key "f1" or "f2" when starting computer to enter your bios reset back to your factory settings, save then reboot.
2. Use the built in 8.1 feature called "Automatic Repair" by holding down the "f8" key on bootup then choose > Options > Advanced Options > Startup Repair
If startup repair does not work then do f8 again and choose "System Restore" and back date to when your system was running good.
3. Finally if all else fails and IF you still have the hidden gateway restore partition you can do the Alt-F10 and restore back to the shipped factory settings.

Seems update 2 insist on putting back in the 6 folders to "This PC" that I had removed.
Here is the .reg file to remove them.

I've no connection speed issues but I've always wondered what advantages BITS provides. Did you find a reference on what it's good for before disabling it?

If you have any Favorite Connection tweaks to make your connection faster feel free to share..
~DP
Cannot confrim ALL 5 of the Following "Faster Connection Tweaks" (Only tried #1, 2 and 3 which fixed my slow connection) but may be worth a try.
1. First culprit is to ensure you have the latest network drivers.
then try the following if still having slow connection.2. Change hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers) without # to:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost3. Turn Off "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" (wireless connection)
net stop BITS /y >nul 2>&1 sc config BITS start= demand >nul 2>&1
4. Reduce Unnecessary Usage of Packet Data by Windows 8 Apps
Turn off the live tile (use internet every time you connect)
News, Finance, Travel, Facebook apps etc.5. Adjust Network Bandwidth limit (Set QoS packet scheduler to 0%)
Start > Run
Type gpedit.msc in the box
A window named Group Policy will open
Click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler
A list will open on the right side. Double click on Limit Reversible Bandwidth
Now, a box will open, tick on Enable option
Set the Bandwidth limit (%) as 0%.(While in browsing session the browser takes 20% of the speed to avoid this set the band width as zero)
Click on Apply followed by OK0

I think if we took a straw vote with those of us on Laps and Tablets More would want Aero "Enabled" with battery than Not, also you should have the "Battery Indicator" Icon displayed in your taskbar when on battery.
