@Zommer Thanks for your advice. It has filled in a few gaps for me. I was OK until I had to copy the files from C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\ . The only file in there is ReAgent.xml . I think I need more than that. Any thoughts?

I'm slightly better than your average but I'm not up with you guys and I'm struggling with this.

Win 11 Pro I have deleted the Recovery partition without a Reagentc /disable first. I have been trying to follow the procedure posted by Bizarre in post #4. I cannot find install.wim. I can only find install.esd in a mounted ISO or a Win 11 USB installer or an unpacked (by 7zip) Win 11 ISO Is...

I understand this will include Macrium recovery. Does it include a Windows 11 (or 10 ) ISO or bootable Win 11 USB key? @hsehestedt I'm trying to digest what you offered / suggested and it may not happen because I would be way out of my comfort zone. Thanks for posting it but at the moment I...

I'm just looking into the media now. I have done the revocations on my two laptops back in May. As you say, if I need to deal with them I can turn off Secure Boot for the small period when installing or restoring. I haven't done my desktop yet. I'm waiting until I have got updated media. I just...

Load up your jpg, press the i button on the toolbar then follow the buttons

I stumbled at the first hurdle. What's an ADK?

I would doubt that MS could turn on or off the Secure Boot function in a BIOS. Also entry to and modify the BIOS can usually be passworded. If such were done I would hope that an OS level app would be unable to access it. Also BIOS is usually third party software relative to MS. It is not their...

I've been using Start11 from Stardock since the beginning of Win 11. I'm using a linear start menu on the left. I got sick of using multiple clicks to get through the Win 11 start menu. I use the Start11 mods for the taskbar and it also gives me seconds on the taskbar clock. Given that Win 11...

I have a support expired paid for version and it is showing as 8.1.7544

Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎9/‎11/‎2022 OS build 22621.1848 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22642.1000.0 I have a 64GB USB key which has somehow been set to a partition of about 1GB. It was OK originally. I went to use it today and was told...

Two things you can do about Right Click: hold down Shift as you Right Click or there is a registry fix. I use the shift key. I fixed the task bar and start menu by using Start11. It is a small cost but IMHO it's worth it. Start11 is sometimes bothered by MS changes but rebooting usually fixes...

As I said earlier (post #10) I have now made an updated Win 11 installer usb at 22621.1702 and installed Windows with it. I then applied the Revocations. The SYSTEM event 1035 indicated a successful application of the Revocations. The PC could boot into the installer usb made today and would not...

Read the link KB5025885: How to manage the Windows Boot Manager revocations for Secure Boot changes associated with CVE-2023-24932 - Microsoft Support . Doing nothing will eventually get all of this fix fully installed. This will take a few months. I'm sure that Macrium and others affected will...

I got 22621.1702 this morning (0630 Eastern Australia) and built a Win 11 installer USB. I tried it in my laptop and it booted into the installer. I'll try it out on my older laptop later and fully install Win 11.
