Thanks ffrags. I did put that code in the place you told me to, changed the language to en-US as SWI2 suggested and added it to the PE. I still get a resolution of 800x600.

doudiii am I doing something wrong here with your script as to why it isn't working?

Also, if you want to manage bitlocker in PE. Go to your custom folder for the builder, navigate to windows/system32, create a new folder called BitLocker. Copy manage-bde.exe from your own system32 folder as well as the en-US folder from your own system32 folder, then build it, you will then be able to use the CLI commands to manage BitLocker drives after that.

I'm not really sure why your resolution is so off and today's variety of video drivers and monitor resolutions makes it difficult to manage a comfortable resolution even in a production system let alone in a PE environment. However, I also had a resolution problem when I first delved into Win10XPE. My resolution problem was solved by editing the pecmd.ini file and changing the line that reads as either:

DISP W1024 H768 B32|DISP W1366 H768 B32
or as
TEAM DISP W1024 H768 B32|DISP W1366 H768 B32
and changing it to just
DISP

As far as I can figure out, DISP without other parameters lets the system select the best resolution.

Also, you say you found the folders and files to add for Bitlocker management. To clarify your additions to the custom folder, you add the needed folder structure and needed files within those folders to this Win10XPE path:

Win10XPE\Custom\x64\AdditionalFiles\Windows\System32

If you are building a 32bit Win10XPE then change x64 to x86. Putting your extra needed folder and files up and down along this path will ensure that Win10XPE always picks them up with each rebuild. However, make sure you have the Add Your Custom Folder box checked.

Thanks! I tried that but still stuck at 800x600. I had this line in my pecmd.ini file: TEAM DISP W1024 H768 B32|DISP W1366 H768 B32

Changed it to just DISP but didn't work.

Yes, my bad, I should have explained that in more detail. This is what my folder looks like:



To clarify since I wasn't very clear. I am building with Windows 11 as source, so take the manage-bde.exe file and the en-US folder (located at C:\Windows\System32\) from a working install of Windows 11 and copy it there in that path of the PE. If you are building with Windows 10 as source, then I would copy them from a working install of Windows 10. As ffrags mentioned, use the x64 path in PE if using 64 bit to build, x86 path in PE if using 32 bit to build.

Thanks @doudiii a lot! Sorry for not responding sooner!

If you have TEAM DISP W1024 H768 B32|DISP W1366 H768 B32 in your pecmd.ini but are still getting 800x600 maybe you don't have the correct video driver being installed for the hardware on which you are using Win10XPE. I say this is a possibility because per the info at this site Detailed Explanation of PECMD in WinPE----PECMD.INI File Configuration ( 1 ) as I pasted below you should be getting resolution of 1024x769 or the closest to that that your video card can do.

[DISP]
Format : DISP [W horizontal resolution H vertical resolution] [B color depth ] [F refresh rate] [T wait(ms)]
Function : Set the display parameters.
Parameters:
■ Separately specify screen parameters. If omitted, use the original settings.
Example:
◆ DISP W1024 H768 B32 F70 T5000
Remarks :
※ The first three sets of parameters can be used alone. For example, to set the refresh rate as 75 , you can use DISP F75 .

Did you try putting a folder in this Win10XPE path: Win10XPE\Custom\x64\Drivers and have that folder contain the inf and sys files etc needed for your video card.

Any cmd.exe shortcut is different, each one has his own properties.
In pecmd.ini add /t:bf switch to cmd.exe
LINK %Desktop%\Command Prompt,%WinDir%\System32\cmd.exe,/t:01

thank you Cipri

Ya, I tried multiple things. It looks like this laptop isn't going to come out of 800x600 without injecting the driver. However, I was able to trim down the driver from being 1.5gb to 500mb. So that gives me a little bit of savings to the size of my PE iso.

Thanks a bunch for the information

Winre\Windows\System32\manage-bde.exe
Winre\Windows\System32\en-US\manage-bde.exe.mui

Already included in WinRE

Ans MS does not have it in a "Bitlocker" folder

But if was to extract from Install.wim using additions
\Windows\System32\manage-bde.exe
\Windows\System32\??-??\manage-bde.exe.mui

Although XPE already setup to extract any required mui & mun files
So they are not usually listed

That is strange, manage-bde wasn't working for me in PE when I tried it before adding the required files. But I have since stripped those files back out of my ISO and it is working, not sure why it wasn't before.

Yes, MS doesn't have them in a "BitLocker" folder, my last 2 previous posts actually specified to grab those file from a working install located at "C:\Windows\System32".

I suggested to put them in a BitLocker folder within the PE as to have a little bit of organization and sanity within your PE, especially for people who have a lot of custom files in the system32 folder of the PE, this is better organized rather than having a bunch of random file strewn about in the folder.

MediaTransferProtocol
this updated file for MediaTransferProtocol_XPE.Script

Code:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ozxucj5fu554660/mtp.7z/file

The certificate registry is the same as the one I used in my MediaTransferProtocol_XPE.Script when I separated camera from mtp script and mtpHelper_x64.sys is also the same.
