If you're on a roll... Any suggestions on how to fix the original culprit and volume? I've been recreating it's system partition trying to make it bootable again. This is the original non vhd HDD volume, and it's not gpt. After every effort to add that volume as bootable it fails with blue...

"Run msconfig" Booting from windows install media, F10 to cmd prompt X:\sources Msconfig not found I have no recovery partition or safe mode or anything so can't get to msconfig ? Using bcdedit I deleted the entries, then after your bcdboot I set that as the new default, then removed the...

Hi brink and all, hoping you can help me unnuke my boot manager. I stupidly ran some bcdboot commands to try fix a different volume, and in doing so I've broken my (efi?) boot manager that let me boot to my vhds. I've tried to readd the entry using bcdboot from cmd via windows install media...

There is an issue with an ssd (another issue for another time), but disk scans report okay. It's more likely to be my system config! Happy to report eventually resolved (made the hide updates work), even if not sure which exact steps sorted. used the shutup tool, so likely many new error...

Hi! do you know if there's a max, or if this can be set per app? Assuming jumplist max also controls recent entries seen on app context menu, from taskbar (maybe max == pinned + recent) eg: max 20 for all apps and override explicit max 200 for notepad?!

Thanks. It's a new build no other av. Been trying to disable defender as it keeps quarantining stuff. Had to look up malwarebytes. Blast from the past! Am running in administrator session I can get a list of running services if that helps? I may have disabled or made manual some auto...

relating to pagefile config, discussed here - NB I don't (yet: ) have the temp paging_file issue mentioned. My current disk-part-mess c: is disk 2, @ [i:]\win11.vhdx "VRAM" paging

This is really impressive 👍 I've completed my first assessment using WAC, and am trying to pinpoint delay in post on/off and shutdown. Important to note I'm on a new SATA using native boot, had issues getting "2nd disk" as primary, which I fixed via winPE by making disk1 offline The current...

I just tried this now - I cancelled the troubleshoot after a while, and the first run of reset (bat) failed to stop WU as in use, then on restart windows reported it was updating. After restart I reran the reset bat, restarted, then ran sfc /scannow then dism , as advised, but no change in WU...

I got this working using the info on microsoft learn, the last part of the puzzle for me was to use diskpart to convert gpt in the new vhd once created (and maybe also converting the host volume where the vhdx resides, prior to vhd creation and windows install - I forget!) The physical drive is...

Thanks for contributions! I'm running (windows + R) c:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,#61 but I don't get the admin-run box Denix, when you use that method to run powershell_ise does that launch as admin on yours? Not working here (windows 11, 22h2) there is no such thing as the...

I like to ctrl+shift+enter to elevate my apps, this works with notepad (I can then create a new folder in a system folder like program files via the file dialog) and cmd (the shell is labelled as elevated) With powershell_ise, this doesn't work - you have to select the Run as administrator...

Doesn't look like I can edit my original, just wanted to add some details. Tried creating an efi partition, both on the host physical drive (where the vhdx will reside) and then within the vhdx, and then tried both, only the first worked. The install error is Windows cannot be installed to...

I managed to contig and shrink my windows 10 install on c: and I have some room, not yet enough room (if 64GB required). I'm trying the windows 11 tiny, or trying to! Stuck with install to vhd on bare metal (been a while since I did with windows 7, on MBR with bcdboot fun). I've just...
