Windows 10: Custom WinRE tool for WIndows 11?

Hi All,I am trying to have our custom recovery tool working under windows 11 advanced recovery menu, but the current windows 10 procedure does not work.c:\windows\system32\Reagentc.exe /setbootshelllink /configfile C:\xxxxxx does not add anything to the list anymore, this works fine in all Windows 10 builds, just not Windows 11?Has this been disabled/removed in Windows 11?How can I add our custom tool, and keep the current Windows 11 Recovery layout.Thanks.Al.

Now that W10 is out, are you a W7 / W8 refusenik?

No, it isn't the same partition as in Windows 7. Under Windows 10, my test machine still has a 100MB System Reserved partition, in addition to the 449MB unlabeled partition. System Reserved holds the boot and repair utilities. The bigger, unlabeled partition is WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment):

What's new with WinRE for Windows 10?

By default, if you install Windows using media created from Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD), you'll get a dedicated WinRE tools partition on both UEFI and BIOS-based devices, located immediately after the Windows partition. This allows Windows to replace and resize the partition as needed.

WinRE includes these tools:​

• Automatic repair and other troubleshooting tools.
• Push-button reset (Windows 10 for desktop editions, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8 only). This tool enables your users to repair their own PCs quickly while preserving their data and important customizations, without having to back up data in advance.

Custom Keyboard Layouts in Windows 11

A wonderful day everyone,

Previously I have used the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to create custom keyboard layouts, however not only is Windows 11 not listed as a supported operating system, but I cannot use the installed keyboards as they get shrugged off as "Unavailable input method" and are also unselectable as they break the taskbar language button in strange ways.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how one can create a functioning keyboard layout for Windows 11? It'd be much appreciated.

Best regards.
