The Zip file won't open or the batch won't run from the zip file? If you tried to run the batch out of a zip file before actually extracting it is what may have triggered Windows Security to block and then delete. Extracting the batch from the zip does not trigger Windows Defender for me. But...

At this point there seems to be few options for most home users that are using Macrium Reflect 8.x Wait and hope that Microsoft and Macrium update the driver for 8.x Continue using Macrium 8x and ignore mounting images (backup and restore are still fully operational) Upgrade to a Macrium X...

Linux has entered the room and not charged a dime now for 35 years. Does it cost someone on the other end creating it time, money, and resources? Yes it does, but to the end user it does not cost a dime. Linux is not a single company product like Windows or macOS. The Linux kernel is open...

Though I could have used the Home FREE version, I did purchase the Hasleo Backup Suite Home Family + Lifetime Free Upgrades $89.95 5 PCs / License, For home use only! Who knows how long a software vendor will be around. Malwarebytes started selling Lifetime licenses back in 2007 and stopped...

Yeah, I checked all of them out before but it's been a few years so I don't have any current information on them. If I can free up some more time I may go test and write up some basic reviews

I'm hopeful that Macrium Reflect and Microsoft will get the driver issue resolved sooner or later. Many people don't use the mounting of a MR image in Explorer so are not missing out. The backups and restores do work as they've been working for years now without issue. For those that do need...

Just FYI - the paid version of Active @ Disk Image does support Full, Incremental, and Differential backups

I actually purchased lifetime for this probably a decade ago. It was not as convenient as MR8 so I did not use it. However, I've not updated the program now for a long time. I suppose I can update it and test it out too. Thanks for jogging the memory on Active@ @FDretired

I have documented it in more detail on our forum. The choices of what one can do has not changed much https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/335035-macrium-reflect-8-driver-blocked-psmounterexsys-cause-and-workaround/

If they do not fix it, I've found that the Hasleo Backup Suite Free software seems to provide the same level of backup, recovery, image mounting, etc. that MR does. UI is different but seems to have very similar functionality. Scheduled Full, Differential, Incremental and Policy No nag screens...

For Free VPN I'd probably trust Proton VPN over Mozilla these days. I'm a big fan of Firefox browser but sadly Mozilla has gone full scale marketing. Not what I want for a VPN

Here is a convoluted method of bypassing the issue You'll need to decide if it's worth the trouble or not. Workaround Method (Virtual Machine) You can use a VM (virtual machine) as a "safe compatibility layer" Install VMware or VirtualBox (both are now free) VMware | VirutalBox Create a...

No problem. Understood.

Oh Wow... I'm late to the game I see. I wrote a PowerShell 5.1 script to help with this too recently for some of my own systems. I see mine is not as complete as yours and for the most part just checks, but has information to help move it along. I don't want to step on any toes so I won't post...

I tried renaming and replacing the file from Macrium X and it will start to load but then errors out. I suppose we need to wait on Macirum for a valid solution
