That's good and it's a nice round 2GB, there aren't a few MB lying around.:thumbsup: Attention, Microsoft has increased the EFI partition size to 200MB for the 2023 certificates which are starting to be deployed. You might run into problems and you might not even know it because the errors...

The date boombastik is referring to is the one from his screenshot in post 3,369 :-) There are two dates for the UEFI dbx.

What isn't working? In the folder containing Garlin's script, right-click on check-dbx.bat and select "Run as administrator." You should see three green "Success" lines if everything is in order. Wait for Garlin regarding the date.

I think the script isn't up to date. Use garlin's script. Run dbx.bat as an administrator.

You will need to perform a repair.:( When it worked for me, I used PowerShell commands. If you haven't done so in PowerShell, Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth.

You have to move it to enlarge the EFI partition! I create unallocated space at the beginning of the C: partition, slide the MSR partition to the right, and enlarge the EFI partition.

Several methods will work. Personally, I used Hasleo Backup Suite to enlarge my EFI partition.

Yes, it's a hassle. I think it looks like error 0x800f0991 from Windows Update a few months ago—I had to run a Windows Update repair twice back then.

Did you run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup, restart the computer, and then run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`? That worked for me when I encountered the error with `RestoreHealth`.

I know, but I use Hasleo Backup Suite. I can resize partitions *and* move the 16MB MSR partition(left or right into unallocated space). That saves me from having to use partition managers that might cause issues. DiskGenius is good, and I haven't had any errors with it, but you can't move the...

OK. To add to my previous post about Macrium: "Select the source partition on the destination layout, click Cloned Partition Properties or Restored Partition Properties, and drag the edge, type a specific size, or select Maximum Size." You can also drag the partition edges.

AI google for macrium: To resize a partition in Macrium Reflect, do it during a Clone or Restore task. [1, 2, 3] Open the clone/restore wizard, drag the partition to the target disk, click Cloned Partition Properties or Restored Partition Properties, and enter a new size or select Maximum Size...

I use Hasleo Backup Suite, not Macrium. With Hasleo Backup Suite, when restoring a backup, I can resize partitions and move the 16MB MSR partition if there is unallocated space to its left or right. You should be able to do this with Macrium. Wait for input from people who use it...

Increase the recovery partition to 2GB to avoid problems with automatic updates to this partition. While you're at it, expand the EFI partition to 200 MB, that is the default size for a clean install nowadays.

I've updated the computers. I first ran Repair-WindowsImage -Online -CheckHealth to see if I needed to repair with Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth. I will always do this before updating in case RestoreHealth malfunctions after an update.
