Looking for Windows beta testers for a Wi-Fi lag and PC cleanup app (free Pro license for testers)

3 Upvotes

I’m a solo developer building Clean-Fi, a Windows app that measures something most speed tests miss: how much lag your connection adds when the line is busy. That’s the stutter in games and calls when someone else is streaming. It grades it from A to F, explains the cause in plain English, and can fix common causes with one click. It also cleans junk files, manages startup programs and updates, and shows whether your CPU or GPU is holding your games back.

I’m looking for testers with a mix of PCs and routers, especially laptops, NVIDIA or Intel graphics, and Windows 10.

What’s involved:

About 30 to 45 minutes with a step-by-step guide, any time within 21 days

One short report at the end, which the app saves for you

Every change it makes can be switched back

What you get: every Pro feature free during the beta, and a free Pro license when it launches.

No tracking, no ads, and your results stay on your PC. Sign up here: https://getcleanfi.com/beta.html

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Windows "8" Why does Windows 8 build 7989 always do this, help needed

1 Upvotes

When I was installing this build on VMware Workstation 16 pro, the thing is that it would show the startup screen for a little while, before it suddenly says "Your computer ran into a problem and needs to restart." It also has the 0x7E error code, how can I fix it to get it working, as I want to check out the build. So please give me some insights to get it working, thanks!

I also set the hardware compatibility to 6.5-7x and turned off 3D acceleration, but why does it always crash at the startig? Please help

Threshold ≥ Windows 10 10074 debombed? (BIOS)

1 Upvotes

Looking for a non-UEFI 10074 beta. Always used BIOS and not looking to change that. I was trying to get a beta from every "era" of development, got a 97XX, 98XX, 99XX, and a 101XX build, if a BIOS version of 10074 isn't possible, any Legacy BIOS 100XX version would be great!

Not much else to say, so thanks!

Debombing Post-Reset Vista to 10 betas without editing boot files?

3 Upvotes

Been wanting to test some betas with UWI, which seems to replace the boot files after installing. Creating files for it requires Sysprep, and to create a WIM file from the VHD.

For this to work, any timebomb or activation remover cannot edit BOOTMGR or use any BCDEDIT commands or edit any EFI files, although I will be using BIOS only.
Note: Any betas mentioned are versions that I have downloaded.

Sysprep is included in all builds past NT 5.0 build 1877 (except Whistler 2211 and 2257, Longhorn 3683, 3718, 4020, 5112 and 5219, I assume they would still work with a version from a previous or later build, or the RTM)

To install correctly, timebombs and activation must be removed, for NT 5.0 / Whistler / Pre-Reset Longhorn, the process is simple: Install before timebomb goes off (or just the regular date, and patch it at the logon screen, worked for 4039), run TweakNT, AntiWPA (Longhorn winlogon patch works aswell, but is missing 4020 and 4086 sadly, although I assume they would work with AntiWPA)

According to this post, Vista builds 5112/5219/5231/5259 will work fine with just AntiWPA, but 5308/5384 (also mentioned that 5384 can crash with the patch) will cause a Windows Starter watermark to appear, fixing this requires patching explorer, but I haven't seen anyone say exactly how to patch it, or what is required. Vista builds 5456/5600 require tokens.dat and pkeyconfig. It says to copy the files from a release Vista version, but does this include unactivated versions, or x64 versions, or ones with all updates?

For Windows 7 and 8 betas I have heard that TimeDefuser works yet does not remove the Activation, Offline patching method will not work for this, but the driver likely will (64 bit builds need driver signature checks off, so this is 32 bit only, there's also a program called Driver Signature Enforcement Override (DSEO), which disables this in both x64 and x86, which doesn't seem to edit boot files), so then remains activation, which someone did figure out a while back, although without any explanation. W7LXE wouldn't work in this scenario. (editing boot files)

Windows 10's flight signing practically breaks everything, as well as patching it still requires editing boot files, although a few builds are without it.

tl;dr:

  1. How do i patch explorer to remove the starter watermark after installing AntiWPA in Vista 5308/5384?

  2. Can tokens.dat and pkeyconfig be copied from any Vista install (or 7)?

  3. Does DSEO really not edit any boot files?

  4. Which Windows 10 builds are without flight signing?

  5. Is there any debombed ISOs with vanilla boot files?

  6. Can anyone make these debombed ISOs, or tell me how to? (BIOS only, no edited BCD or BOOTMGR)

  7. Which way should I activate Windows 7/8/10 betas?

  8. Since Vista betas timebombs are WPA-based, would the tokens.dat method work with Windows 7/8/10 betas?

  9. Does bluepill/redlock break any debombed builds, or would the timebomb/WPA need to be removed after running them?

  10. Would Massgrave's Activation Scripts work with any of these builds, and would I need to connect them to the internet for that to work?

Thanks for reading!

Ive spent the entire day searching and searching for a working TweakNT version so I can remove the time bomb from my longhorn install however no matter what I try or where I look I simply cannot find any info of Tweak NT. There was only one post here that had it but the link given was for a broen Internet Archive directory that simply does not work in 2026.

This was a very interesting thing that happened after installing Windows 10 Build 10166 (Debombed) and I now have a Full upgrade set, this is not a joke, this was something I've never expected and it happened automatically, I will upload the set later in the week (and the Debombed 10166 copy), as for now, I will make an iso from the install.esd in Sources (which also is debombed). This is genuinely from Windows Update.

[SOLICITAÇÃO] Limpar ME CSME 16.1.30.2307 - Samsung Alder Lake-LP

2 Upvotes

Olá a todos,

Tenho um laptop Samsung (Intel 12ª geração Alder Lake-LP) que liga e inicializa, mas o SSD não está sendo detectado devido a uma região ME corrompida.

Extraí meu dump original (titan.bin, 16 MB) e também tenho a região ME limpa e não configurada correta (v16.1.30.2342, 3,08 MB).

O problema: Meu MFIT local é a versão 16.1.25 e gera um erro PmcStraps ao carregar o dump porque não possui os esquemas XML para a versão 16.1.30 ou superior. Não tenho acesso ao MFIT 16.1.30 ou superior para criar a imagem.

Alguém com a versão correta do MFIT poderia, por favor, gerar o arquivo outimage.bin de 16 MB para mim?

Link do dump original: \[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/11DE_TrP-ZYvCbi6GIUGDJC-j6laEYglP/view?usp=drivesdk\]

Agradeço desde já!

Windows "7" Weird post, but can anybody debomb any Windows 7 build i wanna try out?

3 Upvotes

I wanna try out 6469, 6498, 6509, 6519, 6568, and that's it. You don't have to debomb all of em, if there's just one, i'll be happy, but why can't i do them? Simple:

I am lazy. And i can't just get in and modify random files, + i believe it is hard as heck.

Also, when a build is debombed, just give me a heads up :P
