Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

Gonna Say this Rescue media Does Not contain >

however when I try to use mbr2gpt in his rescue WinPE it doesn't recognize the tool

Although I do Have It in PE and see no need for it...
MS is using that Tool to UPGRADE PC's with MBR Disks to GPT Disks if PC Compatible
Yet Another unknown windows 10 upgrade feature

Here are 2 batch Files for use with the mbr2gpt tool > place them in the same folder as exe...
The batch will validate and report any disk type errors before conversion
The mbr2gpt.exe can be found windows/system32 folder beginning with version 1703 up

Windows PE Version (Run in PE)

Here are 3 versions of Firefox that I used in WinPE
All Versions Just Tested Within Same PE Session
version 52.5.2.6549 > Mozilla Firefox ESR works, Video and Audio, without Flash Player
version 55.0.2.6435 > Mozilla Firefox works, Video and Audio, without Flash Player
version 57.0.2.6549 > Firefox Quantum works Video, No Audio, without Flash Player
Since the windows enviroment did not change,
there has to be a missing file dependancie for Firefox Quantum

WMP works great - although no wav file association

@Kyhi

Here are 3 versions of Firefox that I used in WinPE
All Versions Just Tested Within Same PE Session
version 52.5.2.6549 > Mozilla Firefox ESR works, Video and Audio, without Flash Player
version 55.0.2.6435 > Mozilla Firefox works, Video and Audio, without Flash Player
version 57.0.2.6549 > Firefox Quantum works Video, No Audio, without Flash Player
Since the windows enviroment did not change,
there has to be a missing file dependancie for Firefox Quantum

We had this problem with FF V. 47 before and Wintypes.dll was missing. I added this dll to V. 57 and still no go.

WMP works great - although no wav file association

We can add the file association for wav later on. I also have updated the K-lite codec which include the tweak tool, I'll send you a copy. In order for WMP to display subtitle for MP4, MKV. You have to disable Media Foundation.

Like I said it has to be a Quantum Issue with a different file requirement...
As all prior versions work with the current file requirements...
Without adding Flash player....... And Flash Player No Help to Quantum, either..

added file association > RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_Software\Classes\.wav,,WMP
