It looks like Microsoft updated WinRE three days ago on August 11. I imagine this update will fix this issue but will follow up if it doesn't.

Yes the previous major issue with a WinRE update before this SMB networking one was the loss of external USB device functionality like mouse and keyboard.

So if you updated to this current WinRE are you saying you're not experiencing the issue with SMB networking not starting?

Yes WinPE does not have the problem with networking not starting just the current WinRE.

Thanks for that garlin, I'll forward to Macrium support in case they continue to question whether this issue is real.

Proved with an earlier 24H2 WinRE 26100.8737 which works fine. Microsoft's current WinRE 10.0.26100.8875 has broken SMB functionality

Bingo, no hits, no runs, no errors, smb networking starts and drives map fine in 24H2 WinRE 26100.8737 Huge thanks to garlin! So, what about the ARM machine, won't I need an ARM version of this .wim for that? Man I can definitely see why people prefer WinPE. I don't want my recovery...

Ah ok, gotcha, thanks!

Thanks! I'm not familiar with testing versions of WinRE. I thought I remembered reading in another thread here that it's not advisable to try swapping in different versions of WinRE on a Windows 11 install but maybe I'm wrong there. Isn't WinRE version-coupled with the Windows OS kernel? Going...

Cool thanks for that. I too am no expert at using WinRE with or without Macrium and this experience with my wife's ARM machine was my first with Macrium. Based on what you said it looks like you're seeing something similar. If/when you test again you could examine the wpeinit.log in...

Would love to hear about your experience after updating. I suspect a WinRE regression from the KB5101650, KB5099414 refreshes a few days ago but need more data to prove it. I posted about this in this thread a couple of days ago but it didn't seem to get any traction so am posting here. I...

This can also be reproduced by creating an .iso in Reflect X 10.0.8843 and choosing Win RE as the base WIM, then booting that in Windows Hyper-V winpeinit.log should be wpeinit.log

The more I investigate the more I'm convinced this is some WinRE regression since the last refresh 5 days ago with KB5101650 and KB5099414 Obviously anybody that cared could simply boot to their WinRE environment, run winpeinit and examine/copy the winpeinit.log which will likely contain Error...

Thanks, as I mentioned in my post I did all that. I'm familiar with the boiler plate blurb on networking in WinRE. That test of course only covers IP network communication. If anyone has actually tested what I described to get SMB support in WinRE I'd welcome input.

I'm running Windows 11 Pro 25H2 OS build 26200.8894 with WinRE 10.0.26100.8875 When I boot into WinRE, ipconfig shows my NIC. So far so good. After running winpeinit, ipconfig shows my network and I can ping machines on it. So far so good. After attempting to unsuccessfully map a drive or...
