    Anyone else notice setup config.ini getting deleted on 20h2 upgrades?


    The last windows update upgrade to 20h2 released in November (I think) seems to be deleting the wsus folder where setupconfig.ini lives. The result is the oobe script I have defined is not running at the end of the upgrade. I haven't tried running it as part of the success.cmd but for the moment this is breaking our upgrades... Curious if I'm alone or if others are noticing this.... It didn't happen with the previous 20h2 upgrade (the version that was deleting all certificates due to the cryto v3 upgrade mismatch)

    BCD / boot.ini Deleted HELP


    Boot.ini is used in Windows XP and earlier Version of Windows. However, when you install Windows 10 you had the external HD connected and was marked as active so Windows 10 installation modified this file and re-direct to the Boot Manager.
    More info on this: Where is the boot ini file? Heres how to find the boot ini in Windows 8

    You can try the steps below to see if you can repair the Boot Manager:
    1. Download Macrium Rescue disk: MacriumRescue7170X86.iso - Google Drive
    2. Put it in a USB stick using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    3. Disconnect your external HD where you had the Boot.ini deleted.
    4. Change the BIOS setting to boot from the USB
    5. Click where I have the arrow pointed at.

    If the steps above does not work and since you cannot boot into Windows to restore from RECYCLE.BIN and I am not sure that you can restore them by connecting the external drive to another PC since these deleted files are under some SID for each user. So yes, you can use Linux to explore it and copy all the files that you've deleted to another drive/USB and rename them accordingly and put them back where they were.

    The worst case is you have to re-install Windows but:
    1. Make sure the drive that you intend to use for Windows OS is connected to the first port on your MB
    2. Make sure that the first boot device is first on the list of boot priority
    3. Disconnect all other drives (Internal/USB)

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    Windows 7 Cannot Read .ini File

    I am working on a Windows 7 Pro computer and trying to connect a signature pad (SigPlus), and the device is not USB compatible. So during install, I had to select the COM1 option, but the issue is that the desktop only has a COM6 port. I have a .ini (configuration
    setup) file that is supposed to change the port configuration, but Windows refuses to read the file. I have followed the SigPlus instructions and put the .ini file in the Windows folder. I noticed it was still not working so I put the .ini file on the server,
    thinking that the system required them to match, but that did not work either. Someone suggested I should do compatibility mode, but I am not sure that would solve the issue. Also, another issue is that I have administrative credentials but the system I am
    working on does not. I have been putting the .ini file on a shared company drive to transfer to the correct folders.
