Secure boot essentially uses certificates to check if what it's running is the correct OS (shitty way to detect if it's not Windows)

I forgot to update the hashes.txt file and the info spoilers on page 1, they now have the correct hashes for the newly-updated ISO images, as well as the 64-bit Mini Windows 10. Also added a sreenshot for the 64-bit desktop.

Has anyone acknowledged the fact that Windows Defender is cancer? It detects a file in MediCat as a virus.

The following error occurred: Error code 0x80508023. The program could not find the malware and other potentially unwanted software on this computer.

Notice it says "HackTool" not virus. It's telling you that it thinks those two programs are used for hacking. For most people, that means that if it's on their PC that something is wrong.
I don't know what "Wirekeyview" is but I would guess it's something for recovering forgotten passwords, or (as it probably would be to most people) something people use to steal the passwords off of your computer, so most people probably don't want it there and it's fair for Windows Defender to alert you about it.
AutoKMS is only going to set off Windows Defender because it's a tool often used to illegally activate Windows without paying for it. Obviously Microsoft isn't about to tell people that they can get Windows for free, so of course they're going to mark that as a hacking tool too.

Wirekeyview is a tool made by Nirsoft to look up any passworded Wi-Fi networks you have typed in and saved on your Windows installation, either locally, or on an offline installation. The AutoKMS is obviously an activation tool for Windows. I promise there isn't anything malicious, spammy, viral, or otherwise auto-destructive in any of my ISO builds.

I'm just saying fuck Windows Defender's autistic definitions, because it calls a shitload of things a virus/trojen/hacktool even when they are not.

Yes. Just grab Mini Windows 10 (either version) and when it loads up, there's a desktop icon labeled "Reset User Passwords". It will do exactly what you need it to. :)

Oooh, I just found this thread.

What does the floppy version look like? What can it do? I have re-read the first post at least trice (3 times), and I still can't find more info about the PhD version.


Because I'm booting with a floppy disk, because the MBR in my bootdrive always corrupts itself, so I have to boot from floppy (also, I can ONLY boot from floppy, so that's why I'm intrested in the floppy version :P)

The Floppy version is just a few utilities in a FreeDOS menu. There's actually a screenshot of it in the first post, if you'd like to see it. (Grey background, red text)
