Are you trying to illicit what software I use on this affected system? Strange way about going about it. Answer = WFC and defender is used. No security software. Not on a domain or workgroup. Would you mind staying on topic? Perhaps you could ask some probing questions rather than making...

@pseymour Security products? Or is this a snide remark? I think we've established from all the logs above this is a core file / service issue. Have you read any of the logs posted?? 🤦 Lol. Asked AI for help and pasted error codes from device manager and sc commands, asked for a "targeted...

Maybe vid was causing issues with VMware? No, vid is Hyper-V only. I've recovered the system to 2nd June 2025 backup to get notebook working. I'll do the 25H2 upgrade as am getting nagged to do a dozen updates, I hope it might fix some things too... I'll turn off both hyper-v settings in...

Yes, this is what does annoy me. I do admire a lot about a lot of software. I find there is no one piece to the puzzle. But I wish macrium would stand out and actually make some improvements. "What can set do differently?" For example, backup / restore partition table only, and more granular...

Cheers mate. I'm actually going to do the opposite. I'm going to backup the system, then restore to one that didn't work prior. ie. Go forwards in time towards July. I'll try with RDR on, given whatever corruption there was with the OS is now fixed with 2nd June 2025 DIF restore (RDR off). If...

@OAT thanks. Can you please check if you have memory integrity enabled? Open Windows Security. I think it's 4th or 5th on left pane. Then it's first title on right pane. Or run this, hvci memory integrity should say "2": Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_DeviceGuard -Namespace...

G'day, had a steak last night. That didn't fix it. 🥩😋 Yeah, I have. Dozens of times. I have done scan health, check health, restore health, sfc multiple times even though says no issues. I have done chkdsk f x b r Plus removed and installed the features. Sandbox won't start either. Coming...

First thing I said was Win11 Pro 24H2. Hyper-V starts, but VM doesn't initiate. It is pointing to a service. . Have a read of the error message. Cheers

Interesting.... sfc /scanfile=C:\Windows\System32\drivers\vid.sys Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

@OAT Thanks. I just gave it a random ISO on the disk. Just to get it to boot. I think it was an Acronis NFR ISO. Yes, I am a vmware fan - love vSphere too. But I don't want to have to disable various services like credential guard, VBS, memory integrity, etc just to run occasional VMs. Big...

Hi, just wanting to get Hyper-V running and overcome the uphill battle of VMware Workstation on Windows 11 Pro x64 24H2. I have unisntalled VMware 17, rebooted. However after installing Windows Features: VM, Sandbxo, WSL2, Hyper-V (Mgmt & Tools) - see screenshot, creating a VM and trying to...

For most techs, 99% of our workflow is installation, maintenance, and log checking etc. Restore's represent about 1% of our time actually restoring or retrieving data for clients. Because restoring is so rare (well, until Windows 12, touch wood), "backup" s/w should be designed for the critical...

Thanks mate. Appreciate the response. I have had no issues with the system since restoring to 2nd June. Cannot restore to full on 18th June, or any backup to 24th July. But.... perhaps I can now? I didn't think about that and unfortunately have been thrashing the PC and enjoying the luxury of...

Bugger me... not to offend the Macrium lovers with my vulgarity, but OMFG Stupid Bloody Macrium!!! Late July 2025 my computer stopped booting – I asked for help here – no response. Restoring back to any backup over the prior 30+ days of incrementals, differentials and full backups ALL FAILED...

Hey mate, I think you're missing the point. Group Policy (GP) isn't functioning right / poorly coded. @cheaterslick has the same issue. I know what 'at least' or 'minimum' means. But the functionality does not perform as is advertised. No other policy exists that I can see. When you open...
