Ok guys ! I need some Help ! I am trying to turn off a service from the Windows PE 10 - Command Prompt within the PE Dos Boot. I have tried several ways to change the REG entry ( .reg File import - .bat file ) tred to use : reg.exe import "c:\1.reg" I seems you can run REGEDIT from the command line interface but when you change something and reboot .. its back to ORG state. Nothing I do " STICKS " always after reboot its back how do I change something and have it work after boot !
The change you are making is to a RAM-based Windows OS which is created during the PE load... it is not persistant therefore any changes made to it disappear when the RAM-based OS is abandoned. The changes you are trying to make must be done in the WIM file carried by the PE build... a whole different ballgame than LIVE OS Windows configuration.
Here is the problem .. When I try and update windows 10 I get a BLACK screen With Mouse. I found that one of the windows updates ( 1809 ) was causing this .. after 5-15 minutes later windows would finally boot ! LOL I was able to start task manager and get to services and disable app readiness I found that if i DISABLE : AppReadiness net stop AppReadiness sc config AppReadiness start=disabled It would BOOT like normal about 10 secs I have tried to update to : 1903 several times but get the same BLACK SCREEN with mouse .. But this time I could not get to task manager or ANY program! ( thank god for Macrium Reflect ) I want to try and disable the service from windows pe and can not get it to stick.
