Has anyone used Samsung Magician to update an NVME's firmware from WinPE?

Unfortunately Samsung's own bootable NVME update utility doesn't work on my system (just hangs at 'Press any key to...

Ended up restore the SAM file from backup.

After forgetting the local administrator password, I followed that guide for offline editing the SAM registry file. This clearly caused a problem, because no I see no users in LUAG as per the...

If you boot into the on-disk recovery environment, it needs credentials to do anything. What about if you make a recovery USB key and boot from that instead? Would you have access to the HDD and the...

Thankyou all for your help - I have tested, and I can both add apps to the Winre.wim, or cripple the RE by removing cmd.exe.

Okay, so a bit of background on the RAM. I deliberately bought DDR4-3000 memory because I wanted fast RAM. I enabled the XMP profile but found that @ 3000Mhz, sometimes the PC wouldn't POST. However,...
