    Push button reset


    Hello,

    I'm working for a project where we want to customize Win10 and retain the customization after a Push Button Reset.

    I was able to create a ppkg package with scanstate to retain apps.

    We would like to find a way to retain some user settings as well like favorites and background. I was customizing the Administrator account and using the copy profile in the unattend.xml. This works fine for initial deployment. So I thought that I would scanstate the Administrator profile and run loadstate with Push Button Reset as well. The resetconfig.xml located in C:\recovery\oem point to an enablecustomization.cmd.

    "%TARGETOSDRIVE%\Recovery\OEM\usmt10\loadstate.exe" "%TARGETOSDRIVE%\Recovery\OEM" /c
    copy "%TARGETOSDRIVE%\Recovery\OEM\Unattend.xml" "%TARGETOS%\Panther\Unattend.xml" /y
    copy "%TARGETOSDRIVE%\Recovery\OEM\Startmenu.xml" "%TARGETOSDRIVE%\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml" /y

    The usmt.mig file is in C:\recovery\oem\usmt

    After Push Button Reset is finished. I can create a new account and see that the startmenu and applications are retained. However not the profile. Setupact.log. I see that it runs loadstate and a few lines below there is an error code 36. According to docs.microsoft.com, error code 36 means USMT_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM

    Maybe loadstate cannot be run in this environment during setup. Do I have other option to retain settings after Push Button Reset?

    Thanks,

    Edy

    :)

    Making two buttons reset+power to turn on computer when pushed together?

    The simple purpose of a power button is to short those two pins on the motherboard header. Simply put, unplug the silly pins for the reset switch. Send the + cable to the reset button, then - cable to the power button, and then run a cable between the two buttons, as essentially all they need to do is complete a circuit to enable the short.

  3. Making two buttons reset+power to turn on computer when pushed together?

    Well, requiring a two button push wont stop them. Random pressing will still yield the same tampering. Why not just go the extra 3 seconds to switch off/on PSU at back of PC? You can also not connect the reset switch fro the case to the mobo header, that would stop instant reset. As for power, you can use windows to change the function of the off button to do nothing, or sleep etc.

    Reset Button Not Working

    Most reset buttons work with a single tap, but have you tried holding it down like one would a main power button?
