Split Windows Backup to three separate plugins. Same functions but all 3 reports on their backup software rather than all under the single Window Backup Plugin:
Windows Backup and Restore – Windows 7’s Backup software, usable from Windows 7-10
Windows File History – Windows 10’s Backup software
Windows Server Backup – Windows Server Backup software
Added EnablePlugins and DisablePlugins executables to easily enable or disable plugins from the command line
Added reporting the Windows Update Critical Updates by name to the report. Added setting that allows the same for minor updates (driver setting already existed). By default only the setting for Critical Update is enabled.
