Can you post what the actual thing was that you changed to make it work?

DISM's Region option expects an actual region. all would be invalid. It wants a country code there.

Well, you used the Dell example and I was just replying to it. I can't speak for what OEMs did in Western Europe.

Care to upload the iso? I want to try it on my surfacebook but I've noticed tablets are different then comps.
WinPE is not redistributable. Do not ask for something like this again.

That isn't the error I get so I wasn't sure. I have a personal account too, but just tied to MPN, migrated to AAD, merged with Mojang and had *some* org privs removed. It is hit and miss whether I can use it to log into anything. Actually for this site it does let me log in but it goes to a 404 page.

The first place I figured to look was the Device Partner Center
https://devicepartner.microsoft.com/en-us/
However, I no longer have access to this site because my MPN account is completely jacked up. You can see if the site will let you register on it but it may require special priveledges on your MS account, besides having to use their 2FA app which I am also not sure if that can be used with a regular MS account.

I used to use UltraEdit but now I use VS Code. Of the two IDEs I use, it is the only one with an set of LLMs built into it as well which helps often but not always.

No. Windows XP does not support AHCI natively.
"AHCI drivers are not native to an off the shelf Windows XP installation CD"
I was speaking from a manufacturing perspective. See in that reply that Dell had made custom installations that do include the required drivers. They use the OEM source media that was mailed direct from MS to make their recovery media, this it the type of Windows media that I had worked with, not Retail editions which I would consider to be off-the-shelf. Clarification needed in the cases where some companies sold System Builder on its own, which was actually not permitted, so I won't consider those to be off-the-shelf versions.

There are two things I can think of. You aren't creating a user and setting autologon in the XML, or the file you specified is not present in %WINDIR% at the time. After an install, you can check the setupact.log in the Panther folder and/or in UnattendGC to see if it shows any issues.

No. I just took the time to find it. It is Intel VMD (Volume Management Device), which is directly related to VROC on servers but Intel has been including this feature in their mobile chipsets where it really doesn't serve a purpose.

Older boards default to IDE/Standard mode for the storage controller, but best practice since at least XP era has been to set that to AHCI before installation. So yes, it is common for a system to not boot when BIOS is reset and this is always the first thing to check. Similarly on modern systems using a supported RAID (JBOD) option if an NVMe is installed instead of AHCI,.
More modern boards from ODMs within the past 2 years have been shipping with a secondary option relating to the storage controller... which name escapes me right now. Basically it is a feature that only has a benefit for RAID but has been found to be enabled by default where AHCI is the default and also on systems that don't even have a RAID option at all... such as notebooks. This feature was annoying at its launch because Windows required a driver to use it (and boot) in addition to the storage driver and Windows versions at the time didn't have a default driver and there wasn't one initially available for WinPE either. I think current Windows 11 has support for this option now but there certainly is an in-between set of Windows builds that have problems. I hate that I can't remember the name of that option but I had primarily seen it on notebooks from Asus and Clevo.

Error: 0xC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid.
This specific error means that the key entered does not match the installed SKU of the OS. For example, trying to use a System Builder key on a Retail installation can show this type of error.
Good to know it works for you know.

Use slmgr with /ipk and put your product key in that way. If it gives you an error, post that message.

This is already the right place.
You need to contribute to this site before posting a link to your own.

Installed what?
If I were to guess, StartAll/IsBack related, but if you can confirm we can move this thread to that section or for a different one if this is the wrong place.

I don't think that option is available. It doesn't appear for me and I see more options that a regular user.
You can still save a page as webpage complete in browsers, which will save the pictures.

Instead you may have to (or maybe this will be done automatically) make a FAT32 efi partition instead
If using Diskpart, you just make the FAT32 efi partition on a GPT disk. You don't set anything, so I'm guessing Windows (or bcdboot) just works with it as is.
I think Diskpart will actually show an error message if you try to make a partition active on a GPT disk

AMD has something that mimmicks a TPM. When I was building out configuration requirements for Windows 11, I initially left AMD out because those boards didn't have a TPM. But they have something else that Win11 recognizes as a TPM. It just has a different name on the spec sheets and probably does the same thing. I actually have no experience with either those or IME and I never had to field any questions about them, even from USG/Mil clients. The only motherboard feature like that I've had to deal with was Secure Boot. So to my knowledge, I never have known anyone who ever used a TPM for anything.

You only use the /s or /f option on GPT disk partition layout. You cannot make a partition active on a GPT disk.

Refresh still exists but it only works in specific circumstances. In my previous testing, refresh only can work if the WinRE components are the same exact build as the installed OS, but the installed OS build changes with updates. So Refresh can work in a system that doesn't update but that is not typical in a modern system. I also prefer that option as well, as it reminds me of the repair install you could do with XP.
I don't understand the TPM requirement either, especially in regards to the retail market. Probably it was just easier to include an Enterprise feature in all editions and be done with it.

Working where? I don't know where that registration question comes from, whether it is a default in IPS or if Xper wrote it.

I'm not necessarily sure about the error code that you had received, but there have been some instances where I have encountered a seemingly unsolveable boot error on Windows 10/11 like this without being able to fix it. My last resort solution is to image the OS partition and redeploy the entire system. It is time consuming but so far that ends up working.

Color is spelled correctly, at least in US English it is that way. The sentence has a grammar error but that's probably even better to deter bots, idk.
Something is supposed to appear next to Security Check and it doesn't, not even for me. I suppose it could appear if you modify your browser settings to allow such content to appear but that shouldn't be a requirement, the forum's registration should work on stock (and "secure") browser settings.

The captcha provider on the site/forum's registration form is showing a certificate error for some users. The result is that the captcha does not appear on the form so the registration process cannot complete.
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID for cap.js (remotely hosted by keycaptcha.com)
Reported to me by a user but they did not provide system configuration. I verified using SRWare Iron 135.0.6850.0 on Windows 10 21H2.

Interesting Reading on the Internet in Today's World
in Technology News
Posted
IMO the internet got 'bad' once 'normal' people found it. But I think that is more nostalgia for the most part. As for when that happened, I'd say (at least in the US) that happened once Classmates came around. Everyone who was in high school or college went onto there to keep touch afterwards. That site got stepped on by Facebook which was originally designed for college students, but became so popular that old people joined it to keep in touch with those who were on it. For the current generation that is moving into the world, Facebook is seen as a site for old people which is a quote I've heard from multiple people of the younger generations, an insight I am afforded since I 'moonlight' at an arcade.
This is only my perspective on things, but normal/old people from 20 years ago were basically computer illiterate, and astonishingly, people of that same stereotype in the current day are still mostly computer illiterate despite having grown up in with computers in a fully connected world. Combine that with the mentality that corporations have of treating adults (employees) like children and you end up with web technologies designed to protect the computer illiterate but in a fashion doesn't feel like the correct way to do it.
I find it amusing that the link to this article on the Guardian brings me to a page where half of it is covered by a blue privacy/cookie notification.
But overall I think that there are certainly many good points about how the internet has evolved and it is actually better in many ways now than it used to be. It is certainly more useful, something I didn't really grasp because I never had a mobile phone that was new enough to do anything cool until just recently. I think it will get better and we will figure out how to evolve it to deal with the current issues it has. There are more eyes on it now than ever before and that means more ideas of how to do things will occur. But that doesn't mean that there won't be some new dumb trend that everyone adopts that we'll have to deal with. We may end up looking back and laugh about how we were all bent out of shape about captchas and cookie banners in the face of whatever annoying thing we'll be having to deal with.
