I had a round of MR backups fail verification a couple of years ago. At the time, I was backing up a dozen systems once a month and half of those uses and external HDD which I then used to copy the backups to my file server. I had not seen any errors during the backup and verification process...

That seems odd. I did a trial version of X back when they first offered it, and it was not much improvement over 8.1. But recently, I did another trial, this time of version 10.0.8495, and it was much faster -- cut the backup time by 1/3 over 8.1.

I think build 8325 is the current MR 8.1 version -- and that came out in October, 2024. I do the same -- use MR as primary and Hasleo as backup -- but I've never run across the time limiting stuff mentioned in this thread, although I do update Hasleo every time they come out with a new version...

My pushback back against the MR X version is more than it being a subscription model -- it is focused on the price. I have a 4-pack MR 8 set of that I used for three years and for which I paid $100 USD. That works out to a little over $8 per system per year. The subscription price, last time...

Update does not install via Windows Update for me. It starts ot OK, then a window opens like the one when you install from an ISO, then it fails, telling me that the hardware on this machine is incompatible with this version of Windows. Which is odd, because I am running 26120 builds without...

Got it, thanks. It's nearly 6GB in size.

OK, thanks -- I'll check back for PMs later.

The only filesharing service I have an account with is Rapidgator.

Looks like the same screen I am getting. And, I read about MS pulling this ... but Brink is normally on top of these things and posts something in the thread, or as he has done in the past, removes the thread.

I don't know what you mean by "default". I click the ISO link on the first page of this thread, it opens UUPDUMP, I go through the selections like usual, download the 26120.3380_amd64_en-us_multi_ba8d2e9e_convert.zip file, unpack it to a directory, run it as Administrator, and right after it...

Nor for me ... at present. Just tried this again and got the EMPTY-FILELIST error -- like last time. Evidently, others are getting this now, as well.

Just tried to download using UUPDUMP and it fails very quickly claiming the file list is empty.

Didn't show up for me, either -- so I used W10UI to do the update;

OK, thanks for the update

Yes, I understand that LTSC is for commercial customers, but since it has bug fixes, they should still be releasing those fixes for us Home users.
