upDXDiag replaces dxdiag.exe, the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
DXDiag is used by Technical support scammers to check if they are connected to a Virtual Machine. For example, they are looking for VBox drivers.
upDXDiag is completely fake and you can enter any system and display options.
Some settings are also used by upMSInfo32 and visa versa.

I found a minor bug regarding System Manufacturer and System Model. the settings affect the entries in the Windows registry properly, but the main program calls Model for Manufacturer and vice-versa.
