    Hi @建 苗

    Thanks for your response.

    I would like to paste back your previous statement which is the one below:

    i think if we can close any service? such as "sysprep"? to keep this ID unchanged? (UUID will changed automatically after detect the hardware changed)

    Yes, you are fully right on this one : )
