Windows 10: [W10 V20H2] Does not run Runonce EX

Good morning. For a few months, I have been testing on a virtual machine to integrate some tools into the ISO of Windows using the former runonce procedure used for years, but I can't make it run, I checked the scripts and they are all ok. Then to not waste time to install the ISO every time to see if it is executed directly the "setupcomplete.cmd" script directly and the log key is created with the launch programs in the path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEX ". But when the system restarts the programs are not executed. Some idea? Cordially thank you

HKLM Run key doesn't seem to be triggering on W10 - but works on W7

Hello folks.

I could use a sanity check on this one. I've got an AutoIt EXE that I've built to accomplish a couple of simple tasks, and I need this to run when a user logs into the machine. So I've got the EXE tucked away at "C:\Windows\Temp\EXEname.exe"

I've got a registry value in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to launch the EXE. On Windows 7, this runs without an issue - on Windows 10, following a reboot the key doesn't seem to be triggered. There are no other Run or RunOnce keys in HKLM\SOFTWARE or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node.

A couple of things I've tried verifying

• The path in the registry value is correct - I can launch the EXE from this path manually
• The EXE is not being launched by Windows (verified through observance and use of procmon)
• I've tried manually granting full control on the C:\Windows\Temp to a user account for testing and then logging in with that user to verify it's not a permissions issue.

Any other ideas for troubleshooting, or any ideas on changes between W7 and W10?
