    Microsoft removing syskey in Windows 10 Fall Creators update


    Hi,

    They may only be deprecating the feature so don't jump on me ...

    But Microsoft should put a update to all Windows versions (7, 8, 8.1, 10) to disable that exploited feature now not just in Windows 10 Fall Creators.
