  1. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    Thank you @Scannerman :-) I agree with you and I'm not discussing the process. I have just asked questions, which have remained unanswered, so that bothers me. I must emphasize that currently I don't have any system drive backup. So if ANYTHING goes wrong while I'm "following the instructions to...
  2. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    I'm on it. About post #5, I see these steps in Tuneup Plus: Some thins I find completely normal (scanning disks, getting logs). Other things I don't understand. Like wmic recoveros set autoreboot = falseor set AutomaticManagedPagefile=True. Why would it change those things? I'm eager to...
  3. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    Hi guys. I'm taking some time to process this and be very careful about it, because like I said, I currently don't have a backup of my system drive (it was the whole purpose of this operation prior to the BSOD). I have temporarily disabled StartAllBack, and watched how Windows reacted. - The...
  4. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    EDIT - My "Firefox 88" issue seems to be fixed. I had to remove the "Firefox 88" shortcut that was in my Start Menu folder (I had two shortcuts: "Firefox 88" and "Firefox"). Then I closed/opened Firefox. What's weird is the taskbar looking for that "Firefox 88" shortcut FIRST instead of...
  5. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    Hi, thanks for your help. Here's the link to the V2 Log Collector: zip file: 2.27 MB file on MEGA I haven't done the WMIC & TuneUp Plus thing for the moment. I'm a bit afraid to mess with my registry right now. My post-crash system looks stable, besides the aforementioned problems. I'll try...
  6. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    Thanks. I'll do it in a few hours, gotta sleep first (it's 6 AM here and I'm still up with this whold BSOD thing). Also, I have noticed something weird with Firefox. I have two Firefox installs: an old one which I don't use anymore (Firefox 88) and an up-to-date one (Firefox 142). The two are...
  7. [After crash] Pin to taskbar creates duplicates, everything seems messed up

    Hi guys, Today, when trying to backup my system drive for the first time (with EaseUS Todo Backup Free), my PC crashed rather violently (BSOD) and unexpectedly. Since the reboot, my taskbar looks and feels differently. 1. Now when I click on any of my pinned apps, the app just opens as a...
  8. Ghosting strategy?

    Ghost Solution Suite ? I don't have such a thing! 😳 I have SyncBackPro for regular backups, and I intend to install Hasleo Backup Suite (free, suggested to me recently) and see what I can achieve. Best Free Windows Backup Software for PCs and Servers in 2025 - Hasleo Backup Suite BTW I don't...
  9. Ghosting strategy?

    For the record, I need a bootable backup drive because my Windows 11 is heavily customized. I have spent a lot of time to tune it just right for me, so it would be way too much work (possibly weeks) to reinstall it and get it to the same point. I need to backup it "as is" while it's perfectly...
  10. Ghosting strategy?

    Yes, I have to admit that I have trouble understanding the difference between a full backup and a clone. My point is that I need the backup drive (SSD 2) to be bootable, that's all. It should be simple to achieve, I don't know why it's so complicated. :(
  11. Ghosting strategy?

    'Perform a full backup and then restore that backup to the new drive". I can do that 🙂 Well, at least for now. I can backup my SSD to my HDD if it's only 250 GB, but I won't be able to backup it anymore once it's 1.5 TB. 😅 I'm surprised though: don't full backup apps have any option to "not...
  12. Ghosting strategy?

    I get what rescue media are. Booting on a USB flash drive, etc. And yes, I can create a rescue media for me in the near future. But I was envisioning a different case with this topic. "SSD 1 doesn't work? OK, let's just boot directly on SSD 2". If I didn't want that,I wouldn't have bought a...
  13. Ghosting strategy?

    BTW, here's my current C: drive according to WizTree, if that can be any useful.
  14. Ghosting strategy?

    @Ghot Oh boy. I have no idea how you do that, but OK 😂 @hsehestedt Aside from the fact that I can barely understand anything on your link 😅 , the fact is that I'm trying to imagine the worst possible scenario here. In my head, that scenario could be my PC crashing and not wanting to boot...
