Funny you should say that.

I did a reformat 2 days ago and ran the full Jan AP on it and I walked away for a min then came back to see it had rebooted.

It corrupted my system because I couldn't get into safemode either.

It would bluescreen everytime just before the blue bar goes across the boot screen then it would reboot again.

I had to do a repair then run it again.

It ran OK the second time though.

I couldn't get the BSOD info as it automatically rebooted.

I know this isnt much use now but I thought I would mention it anyway.

i had BSODs too on my second PC during AutoPatcher installation... but it was because of defective RAM :(... After i took out one of the RAM sticks, everything would rock :)

/Raptor

Same here... I've never had a BSOD with the AP, but one of my testers did, and it ended up bein' bad RAM as well... he never noticed until the AP was run, and upon swappin' it out, turned out it was the issue. The AP is almost like an OS install, if something is wrong with your hardware... you'll find out (I found out one system had an overheatin' issue when I ran it at a client site).

Quick suggestion, I have been through a few of the pages in this thread but gave up after 15 or so, so apologies if this has been asked ...

Is there a way of adding options to remove games etc from windows, its just a pain to have to go into control panel every reinstall and delete them, as well as cursors would be great. I ask as I see theres an option to remove the wallpapers, so this seems a natural progression. While at it, don't know if its possible, but can Outlook Express also be removed with autopatcher as thats another I always remove on clean install :)

Thanks for listening .. erm .. reading :)

FlishFun did actually think of it, but he agreed to pay me ?1000 to request the addition in this forum, for the banking details to xfer the money to me FlishFun just PM me:DD

He only agreed to the monies due to the extra sponsorship he has gained from RonCo etal:pp

Back to seriousness though, its just the few things I thought should be included after using it:)) ... but thats why the app. is so great, everyone does things differently, and so little things like that can be missed:)) ... Damn I just talked myself out of the grand FlishFun was gonna pay:))

:D

Ever wondered why all the hard work th AP team puts in is worth the effort it only took 4 days to patch and install

75mb of drivers on a 100+ new laptops with 0% bandwidth useage!!!!!!!!

Last rollout took 14 days for same task.

The possibiltes ar staggering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
