I knew there was other stuff available, this util was just so brain dead simple and for $27 for an Enterprise edition it was just worth it. ![]() I am gradually upgrading all our PCs to 1809. I used the tool I bought on an 1809 fresh install so I know it works there. I didn't know of the automated UtilMan/SetHC hack, I'll have to read up on it.
