>> Changelog for v21.06 <<
Added:
+ Discord Portable has been reinstated and works again. It's a little slow to startup and update itself, etc... but it does work.
+ DeepL Translator app in the PortableApps menu, for more fluent and smarter translations.
+ WBG Windows Password Reset was added to Jayro's Lockpick by @AAA3A
+ @AAA3A created a Startup.bat script that loads anything placed into the Y:\System\Startup\ folder once the desktop loads in. This can be useful for opening a custem application you like, or a notepad document, for example.
+ @AAA3A and I have added a custom Wallpaper Changer script to Mini Windows 10. Place your custom background.png into the Y:\System\ directory (Y:\System\background.png) and your custom wallpaper will be set upon the desktop loading in. If you do not have a wallpaper located at Y:\System\background.png, the defaut wallpaper from X:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg will be provided for you.
+ A Wi-Fi connection generation script was made by @AAA3A, and added to the build. What you do is edit Y:\System\Startup\Wifi.bat with your network's SSID and Password, and switch the "set generation" flag to a capital 'Y'. Run the Wifi.bat, and it will generate you a Wifi.xml file. Then edit the "set generation" flag back to a capital 'N' and save it. Now it will connect to your Wi-Fi network automatically every time you boot up Mini Windows 10.
+ MON5TERMATT#9999 on the MediCat USB Official Discord server compiled AAA3A's batch file to an EXE that launches Tor Browser from the PortableApps Menu.
+ OnlyOffice Desktop Editor Portable has been added to the PortableApps Menu.
+ Many, many, MANY applications have been added to the Start Menu. Be sure to check out the entire thing, it's LOADED with applications now!
+ Exported previous MediCat USB wallpapers to the Themes folders, so you can now choose any of the previous MediCat USB wallpapers.
+ New icon theme for the PortableApps menu, made by Discord user ijahangard#8048.
Removed:
- Extra copy of ShredOS I forgot to remove in the last version.
Updated Apps:
~ Many PortableApps have been updated.
~ Ventoy to v1.0.46
~ Jayro's Lockpick (the WinPE) was rebuilt by me using WinBuilder.
~ Jayro's Lockpick (the application) was updated by @AAA3A.
~ Mini Windows 10 was rebuilt from the ground up using Windows 10 Pro v2004 in WinBuilder. This brings many improvements, like better Wi-Fi drivers and trackpad support for HP laptops.
~ Malwarebytes Bootable (the WinPE) was rebuilt using WinBuilder.
~ Added a craptop of Apps in the Mini Windows 10 Start Menu. Lots to choose from now.
Updated Images:
~ Rescuezilla to v2.2 [UEFI]
~ Macrium Reflect to v8.0.5994 [UEFI]
~ Mini Windows 10
~ Jayro's Lockpick
~ Malwarebytes Bootable
Menu Changes:
# Version info has been updated.
# New Wallpaper
# Better spacing adjustments for the F-key buttons at the bottom, since [F7] was added.
Fixed:
* Better trackpad support in Mini Windows 10, Malwarebytes Bootable, and Jayro's Lockpick.
* Rebuilt Malwarebytes Bootable - When you update the Virus Definitions, make sure you exit the app in the task tray, and re-open it so the new definitions take hold. Otherwise you may BSOD. And on that note, when running a custom scan, make sure you uncheck all 4 boxes on the left side to mitigate your chances of getting a BSOD.
* Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
> System Requirements <
CPU | Minimum: Any 64-bit processor and UEFI Recommended: Any 64-bit dual-core, 3GHz+ |
RAM | Minimum: 2GB DDR3 Recommended: 4GB DDR4 or more |
Storage | Minimum: 32GB USB 2.0 Recommended: 64GB USB 3.0 or larger/faster |
>>> Please Follow these steps to help you make a bootable USB stick successfully <<<
First thing to do is disable any "Real-Time Scanning" in your antivirus apps, including Windows Defender!!!
(Otherwise you will have apps get deleted from your USB drive during creation, and things won't work properly.)
( Nothing to download from outside, Everything is included in the torrent )
So...basically HirensBootCD?
Sort of, but Hiren's BootCD is severely outdated, and I almost included it in my release. But the other tools on my DVD already do what Hiren's CD does,
are more up to date, and easier to use... So it just seemed redundant.
Can I run the PortableApps on my current PC without booting up MediCat?"
Yes, just mount the MediCat USB, and open Start.exe to launch the platform. These are the same exact apps that get loaded within Mini Windows 10. So if you update them, they will show up updated in Mini Windows 10 as well.
"How do I make this for a 32GB USB stick?"
-Install Ventoy to the drive.
-Open MediCat's first zip.001 file with 7-zip.
-Extract the files and folders to the root of the USB drive.
"Can I add or swap out the PortableApps with different ones?"
Absolutely, I encourage it! Please feel free to modify MediCat to YOUR individual needs!
"Can I install Mini Windows 10 as my main OS?"
No, it doesn't work like that. It's a WinPE image (Windows Pre-install Environment) that runs in memory. It's primary use is to troubleshoot a troublesome PC.
"Is it free?"
Absolutely. I will never charge money for MediCat, or accept donations. However, feel free to share your ideas, questions, and concerns in this thread. That's how you can give back.
"How often will this be updated?"
MediCat USB is now a rolling release, so will be regularly updated with major releases, and minor updates as needed (Typically monthly or bi-monthly). The links here will always be the latest version. The PortableApps are easily updatable by the user, once they have been 'burned' to USB.
"If anyone can make these bootable USB sticks, what makes yours so special?"
Nothing, really. Just simplicity, and convenience on my part. Everything is subjective to opinion of usefulness. My software suite may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if it helps you in the field, yay!
