    Issue Adding Windows Update Shortcut to 'This PC' - Creator's Update


    Hi all,

    Hoping that someone can assist in resolving an issue with Creator's Update. I am looking to add a shortcut to 'Windows Update' (including it's original icon) to the 'Devices and drives' section of the 'This PC' window.


    I recall having had this customisation in the past, and even Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4.2.3 does not offer that particular selection. Whilst similar, the following registry hack simply adds it to the context menu and it only works in Creators Update after a permissions update to take ownership though!


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Windows Update]
    "Icon"=hex(2):73,00,68,00,65,00,6c,00,6c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,\
    00,2c,00,34,00,36,00,00,00
    "SettingsURI"="ms-settings:windowsupdate"


    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Windows Update\command]
    "DelegateExecute"="{556FF0D6-A1EE-49E5-9FA4-90AE116AD744}"


    Can anybody suggest a constructive alternate to accomplish the desired result?


    Many thanks,




    :)

    Windows 10 Creators Update and Remote Desktop Scaling

    I have just installed the Windows 10 Creators Update on my new Surface Book and it makes Remote Desktop sessions to it unusable because of poor DPI handling.

    I connect to the Surface Book from my desktop PC which is running at 1920x1200
    without Windows Creators Update. This Surface Book is running at 3000x2000
    with Windows Creators Update. In this case the content viewed through Remote Desktop on my desktop PC is blurred and unusable.

    All current workarounds online do not work i.e.:

    - using Remote Connection Manager

    - setting the Surface book at a lower resolution

    - adding a manifest file to mstsc.exe

    I have therefore had to roll back to before Windows Creator update, i.e. remote desktop is running on 1920x1200
    without Windows Creators Update and Surface Book running at 3000x2000
    without Windows Creators Update. In this case Remote Desktop session is clear and usable.

    I understand the Windows 10 Creators Update was intended to resolve DPI issues, however, this seems to have created no ones.

    Will Microsoft fix this issue before Windows Creator update is forced upon us all? Or if the both PCs are upgraded to Windows Creator will this be handled?

    Issue Adding Windows Update Shortcut to 'This PC' - Creator's Update

    Hi all,

    Just to inform that after a little further experimenting I have now sucessfully resolved my issue:


    For those interested the following registry tweak fully accomplishes the desired objective!


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}]
    "System.Software.TasksFileUrl"="Internal"
    "System.ApplicationName"="Microsoft.WindowsUpdate"
    "System.ControlPanel.Category"="5"
    @="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,-22068"
    "InfoTip"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,-22580"


    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\DefaultIcon]
    @="shell32.dll,-47"


    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\Shell]


    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\Shell\Open]


    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\Shell\Open\Command]
    @=hex(2):63,00,6f,00,6e,00,74,00,72,00,6f,00,6c,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,\
    00,2f,00,6e,00,61,00,6d,00,65,00,20,00,4d,00,69,00,63,00,72,00,6f,00,73,00,\
    6f,00,66,00,74,00,2e,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,55,00,70,\
    00,64,00,61,00,74,00,65,00,00,00


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}]
    @="Windows Update"


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpa ce\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}]
    @="Windows Update"

    Happy tweaking....
