-# Troubleshoot errors during Microwin usage
-
-## Error `0x80041031`
-
-This error code typically indicates an issue related to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-
-1. **Reboot Your Computer:**
-   Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary issues. Restart your computer and try mounting the ISO again.
-
-2. **Check for System Corruption:**
-   Run the System File Checker (SFC) utility to scan and repair system files that may be corrupted.
-   ```powershell
-   sfc /scannow
-   ```
-
-3. **Update Your System:**
-   Make sure your operating system is up-to-date. Check for Windows updates and install any pending updates.
-
-4. **Check WMI Service:**
-   Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running. You can do this through the Services application:
-   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.
-   - Type `services.msc` and press Enter.
-   - Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list.
-   - Make sure to set its status to "Running" and the startup type to "Automatic."
-
-5. **Check for Security Software Interference:**
-   Security software can sometimes interfere with WMI operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or security software and check if the issue persists.
-
-6. **Event Viewer:**
-   Check the Event Viewer for more detailed error information. Look for entries related to the `80041031` error and check if there are any additional details that can help identify the cause.
-
-   - Press `Win + X` and select "Event Viewer."
-   - Navigate to "Windows Logs" -> "Application" or "System."
-   - Look for entries with the source related to WMI or the application use to mount the ISO.
-
-7. **ISO File Integrity:**
-   Ensure that the ISO file you are trying to mount is uncorrupted. Try mounting a different ISO file to see if the issue persists.
-
-If the problem persists after trying these steps, additional troubleshooting is required. Consider seeking assistance from Microsoft support or community forums for more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the software you use to mount the ISO.

+    - Run the following command to analyze energy usage and generate a report:
+      ```powershell
+      powercfg /energy /output "C:\energy_report.html"
+      ```
+    - Open the generated HTML report to identify energy consumption patterns.
+
+11. **Review Event Viewer:**
+    - Open Event Viewer by searching for it in the Start menu.
+    - Navigate to "Windows Logs" > "System."
+    - Look for events with the source "Power-Troubleshooter" to identify power-related events.
+
+12. **Check Wake-up Sources:**
+    - Open a Command Prompt as an administrator.
+    - Use the command `powercfg /requests` to identify processes preventing sleep.

+
+### Troubleshoot errors during Microwin usage
+
+#### Error `0x80041031`
+
+* This error code typically indicates an issue related to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
+
+1. **Reboot Your Computer:**
+   Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary issues. Restart your computer and try mounting the ISO again.
+
+2. **Check for System Corruption:**
+   Run the System File Checker (SFC) utility to scan and repair system files that may be corrupted.
+   ```powershell
+   sfc /scannow
+   ```
+
+3. **Update Your System:**
+   Make sure your operating system is up-to-date. Check for Windows updates and install any pending updates.
+
+4. **Check WMI Service:**
+   Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running. You can do this through the Services application:
+   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.
+   - Type `services.msc` and press Enter.
+   - Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list.
+   - Make sure to set its status to "Running" and the startup type to "Automatic."
+
+5. **Check for Security Software Interference:**
+   Security software can sometimes interfere with WMI operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or security software and check if the issue persists.
+
+6. **Event Viewer:**
+   Check the Event Viewer for more detailed error information. Look for entries related to the `80041031` error and check if there are any additional details that can help identify the cause.
+
+   - Press `Win + X` and select "Event Viewer."
+   - Navigate to "Windows Logs" -> "Application" or "System."
+   - Look for entries with the source related to WMI or the application use to mount the ISO.
+
+7. **ISO File Integrity:**
+   Ensure that the ISO file you are trying to mount is uncorrupted. Try mounting a different ISO file to see if the issue persists.
+
+* If the problem persists after trying these steps, additional troubleshooting is required. Consider seeking assistance from Microsoft support or community forums for more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the software you use to mount the ISO.

+### Essential Tweaks
+Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations. The goal of Essential Tweaks is to provide noticeable improvements with minimal risk, making them suitable for a wide range of users, including those who may not have advanced technical knowledge.
+
+### Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION
+Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.

-![MicroWin](assets/MicroWinScreen.png)
+The utility provides three distinct settings for managing Windows updates: Default (Out of Box) Settings, Security (Recommended) Settings, and Disable ALL Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!). Each setting offers a different approach to handling updates, catering to various user needs and preferences.
+
+### Default (Out of Box) Settings
+- **Description**: This setting retains the default configurations that come with Windows, ensuring no modifications are made.
+- **Functionality**: It will remove any custom Windows update settings previously applied.
+- **Note**: If update errors persist, reset all updates in the configuration tab to restore all Microsoft Update Services to their default settings, reinstalling them from their servers.
+
+### Security (Recommended) Settings
+- **Description**: This is the recommended setting for all computers.
+- **Update Schedule**:
+    - **Feature Updates**: Delays feature updates by 2 years to avoid potential bugs and instability.
+    - **Security Updates**: Installs security updates 4 days after their release to ensure system protection against pressing security flaws.
+- **Rationale**:
+    - **Feature Updates**: Often introduce new features and bugs; delaying these updates minimizes the risk of system disruptions.
+    - **Security Updates**: Essential for patching critical security vulnerabilities. Delaying them by a few days allows for verification of stability and compatibility without leaving the system exposed for extended periods.
+
+### Disable ALL Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!)
+- **Description**: This setting completely disables all Windows updates.
+- **Suitability**: May be appropriate for systems used for specific purposes that do not require active internet browsing.
+- **Warning**: Disabling updates significantly increases the risk of the system being hacked or infected due to the lack of security patches.
+- **Note**: It is strongly advised against using this setting due to the heightened security risks.
